And on the 'Bweee!' Side...

Someone just asked me what hair color I use because it looks so natural.

I had to point out the grey hairs before they believed me when I told them that was my actual hair color. And then I got a shocked look from them when I told them I was 38 (Because I only have a handful of greys and you have to look for them to see them).

:D

I've been getting more than the occasional grey hair over the last few years (and I've only recently turned 30). On the whole, though, I'd rather go grey than bald, which, fortunately, looks like it won't be a problem.

Yeah. I think a lot of guys tend to have 'hair issues' once they hit mid-twenties, unless they really do well on the hair-gene lottery. Nice thing though is that most guys still look good, even if they go grey/bald(ing)/frizzled. I know one guy in HS--he had this gorgeous head of black hair in sophmore year. By senior year, it had turned gun-metal grey, and I suspect it was probably white by the time he hit mid-twenties. Still, it was thick and gorgeous, even grey, so...

Dude, one of my friends has got a head full of grey. Men try an holler at her all the time. When you've got game, grey does not take it away.

I actually don't really mind the grey, particularly as it mostly manages to somehow blend into the brownness of the rest of my hair. I'm just glad to not also be going bald, 'cause I like having my hair long and would be annoyed to have long hair that retreats at the front over time.

(In any case, I wouldn't consider myself to have game, anyway; there's a reason why I have a Hutt for my default avatar, and it's not just because of any enjoyment of Star Wars.)

I think that's spite and bad manners on the part of the follicles.

Noted. :/
