i discovered my first white hair today... but my mom says its a golden-brownish colour and definitely not white.. not even gray.. well i have a head full of brown hair which is becoming browner day by day.. so its hard to say.. anyway brown/white/gray/golden-brownish or whatever it is... u can imagine my shock when my friend pointed it out to me.. i have a strand of white hair at 23 yrs??? i thought my life had just started... i was just beginning to enjoy and have fun and do all the things that i had always wanted to do....and then THIS??? i checked in the mirror.. it did look kinda white.. but of course i just blamed her mirror for reflecting too much light at certain angles (?!?!) The first thing i did was ( after screaming "no way! no way! are u sure?? are u really
really sure?? look again and tell" for about 15min ) , i googled.. obviously... it said the main cause for white hair was stress and hereditary... my dad had complete white hair by the time he was 30.. but my mom's hair went gray when she was 50.. that too very little.. so clearly, very clearly i have my mom's genes.. right? right? i started googling about how to reduce gray hair.. apart from colouring, which only worsens the condition of your hair, it said to accept it gracefully and age naturally and bunch of crap like that...
And that got me thinking.. even if this is not a genuine white hair ( am still not ready to believe it ) it wont be very long before i do get one.. a few more years perhaps... i dont think am ready to take this "ageing process" gracefully.. here i am, still worried about my clothes and my hair every time i go out.. ahhh well i guess this had to happen.. time to accept the fact that i
am going to grow old, i
am going to get a few wrinkles, i
am going to have a few grays, just like everybody else, and i
am going to "age gracefully" (when the time comes), just like ME, and have fun and love my life and live it to the fullest, just like i always do :)
so u stupid strand of brown/white/gray/golden-brownish hair.. i cut u off.. and dont come back anytime soon!!!
Hello! This showed up in the "you might also like" part and I went through the - I'm going to go grey trauma- recently (I think I'm still not over it), but just to think that it will eventually go white is awful. And then having to dye it about once a month is also pretty terrible :s... but like everything I think we'll learn to cope with it, and pay attention to more important things. Here's to ageing gracefully!
