So I've actually had gray/white hairs popping up on my head since I was in about 5th grade. I'm asian so I've got really dark hair so they are rather noticeable. I usually don't stress about them, however my mother began plucking them whenever she saw one when we was doing my hair as I was younger. So all of a sudden I'd feel her stop, pause and then YANK a hair (or several) out. I'm like mother, you're going to give me a complex! Just leave them alone! So I finally get her to stop playing the yoink the white hair game only to begin dating my now husband several years ago. Now he is also follicularly challenged but I happen to think he looks great bald as well. There is also a rather significant age difference between us so he likes to tease me whenever possible if I do anything that seems "older" to him (I'm 27). Well one day we're sitting on the couch watching some tv and snuggling when, lo and behold, he spots a white hair. Which he promptly YANKS right out of my poor unsuspecting head. So I have to be careful when we cuddle because he now has a new mission to seek and destroy any white hair he might possibly be able to find. I never need to worry about plucking my own white hairs, everyone seems to be determined to do it for me! I cracked up when I read this!

Secondly, I sympathize with you. I haven't found my first grey yet, but in May, I took the leap from 27 to 28...and I've found it to be a pretty profound change on the age scale. I know 28 is still relatively "young", but I can't help but feel old lately. And man, that biological clock is ticking...loudly! First of all, you’re hilarious and your writing is awesome!

I started getting grey hair at 21. Finally this year at 25, my husband pointed out that I might want to start thinking about dying my hair because there were so many. But, I hate the idea of dying my hair, so I've just been plucking them every day -- I figure that will buy me another year or so before I have to start dying on a regular basis. .-= Julie's most recent blog post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ethidiumbromide/~3/likvadB4M2U/aromatic-noodles-with-lime-peanut-sauce.html" rel="nofollow">Aromatic Noodles with Lime-Peanut Sauce</a> =-.
