Just went to the bathroom. Washing my hands, I look in the mirror, when . . .A GREY HAIR!!! And it’s GRAY!!!
Why? Why me? I was so young? Only 25. So much life left in me. So much to do. So much to give. Well, I did the only thing I could. I cut that sucker off. I’m looking at it right now. Sitting in front of me. Dead, yet still mocking me.
I guess I may as well throw out all of my Hip[sym]ä[/sym] clothes. Put the video games away. Buy a grand-pa hat. Maybe get a cane. Buy some grapefruit juice. Should probably stop going out after dark. Maybe I should move to somehwere a little more secluded. Maybe by an old Lincoln or something. Should probably start eating softer foods. Oh God . . . why??? Just a quarter of a century???
::hums the “Wash that grey right out of my hair” song::
Do you suppose you could have made your thread title loooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooger?
I got my first gray hair when I was about 11. My aunt noticed it first and yanked it out by the roots. She then held it aloft for all to see and announced its removal just to be sure that everyone present was aware of the thing.
For what’s it worth, that was 20 years ago and I’ve only have a handful of gray hair now. Perhaps your transition from chromatic to monochrome will progress slowly.
Don’t sweat it, grey hair on guys is ‘distinguished’, remember?
I saw pictures of my Sensei when he was 20, and his hair was mostly gray. At around 30, all his hair became white.
If it really bothers you, there are dyes on the market.
Personnaly, I’m 28 and I’m already losing my hair! :eek: I have a very receding hairline, and it’s already starting to thin a bit on top… My solution: keep my head shaved. Of course, YMMV.
Don’t feel so bad - I’ve had grey hairs since about 18. I have long hair, and I pull it back, but the problem is that the grey (actually white) hairs are curlier than the rest of my hair, and they end up sticking out all over the place. I pull them out whenever I see them, but they’re becoming more widespread ever day.
Sure, you can think of it as “Only 25”. But the rest of us think of you as “A quarter of a Century”. That’s a lot of history under the bridge. And your sexual peak is 7 years past its expiration date.
It helps to put things into perspective. Glad to be of help.
Shortly before my 27th birthday I found gray hair #1.
Then about 6 months later I found gray hair #2.
As a gal, I felt like maybe I should start wearing sweaters and shawls, and keeping a kleenex in the sleeve. Of course I’d also have to start keeping cats.
I have, however, decided that when they start to multiply, I’m staying natural. I’m not into doing hair, makeup, and all that other crap. So I can’t see myself spending the time or the money to go to the salon for a dye job periodically.
Lucky bastard!
I WANT grey hair! I like the look of it.
I’m 32 and not a grey hair in sight. It is thinning though, but I don’t mind that either—I used to have some really annoying cowlicks in front and on top. Not no more!
Lib, the thread title was an onomatopoeia. I had to make it long to show the depth of the scream my soul unleashed at the sight of the death of my youth.
Yeah . . .like Sean Connery!!! Yeah!!! I’m more distinguished . . .ahhh who am I kidding. Where’s my walker???
I started going grey at 17. Now that I’m 25 my hair is well on its way to be a nice salt 'n pepper look. And last year my neice examined my face up close and asked “How come you have different colored hair on your face?” Yeah my facial hair is coming in grey as well. Oh well, at least I’m not bald.
