Can I Handle The Seasons Of My Head

[darklinensuit]

We're talking salt and pepper.

I'm just starting to get some grey hair on my temples. Everybody says they can't see it, but I can. My younger brother has been mostly grey since he was twenty. My mom started frosting, then dying her dark hair many years ago when her hair started turning. My father's dark hair didn't start turning until a few years ago, but my brother and I suspect that he was using grecian formula for years.

Do you have any grey?
Where? (Head descriptions ONLY, please. :eek: :sorry: )
How old were you when you got your first?

According to my friend when she was doing my hair, I have 3 grey strands underneath the top layer of my hair :shock:

IMO, i'm too young for grey but I suppose if it has to happen, it's best that it's underneath where you can't see.

There's nothing wrong with salt and pepper hair on a man. Lindsey looks hot with it ;)

Ever tempted to yank the three out?

[darklinensuit]

I'm 21 and started getting grey strands when I was in high school. Mum and her entire family went completely grey quite early on, my dad didn't, but alas I always get the lesser of the two genes. It's my nature not to give a crap about what I look like and therefore don't do anything about it. My mother of course tells me how horrible the multiplying grey strands look and forcibly dyes my hair.

Your mother must be one strong lady. :shrug:

No dear, for every grey hair you yank out, more sprout up.

Old Wives' Tale.

I'm aware. But just in case it isn't, i'm not taking any chances ;) Feel free to pull YOUR grey hairs. I'm not pulling mine :cool:

[sparky]

Dude. So brutal. My dad was all grey by 30. I have about 30-40% grey at the temples. And I am still pushing 40 ! Regardless, I am thankful for every strand. Even though I have been entertaining the thought of a staggeringly expensive Los Angeles hair color job.

[strandinthewind]

LOL - I always had jet black hair that everyone accused me of coloring to get that color, which I never did.

So, awhile back, I was driving down this really busy street in Atlanta and looked in the rear view mirror to check my hair (hey I am vain and was in a convertible :laugh: ) and SHRIEKED when I saw a grey hair. I roared the car over to the side of the road, got over the hyperventilation, and then pulled it out. Fortunately, I got over it because I now have greying temples :laugh:

Here is an example of me in 1996 with my very black and, as a pithy friend of mine then called and perhaps still calls it, my "important" hair :cool: :woohoo:

[DeeGeMe]

I'm a redhead and I think I noticed my first grey hair when I was about 23. But that was more of a one-time incident. My hair really didn't start to turn grey until I was about 32-33 (I'm 39 now)--right near the temples. Around the same time, my hair began to "brown" out or lose it's original, vibrant color. That's when I began what I like to term "Color restoration". So I go and spend an outrageous sum of money every three months or so to get my hair to look it's "normal" color. The strange thing is that both my parents didn't began to go grey until they were in their late 40's or early 50's. My half-brother on the other hand is almost completely grey and has been since his early 40's (he's also a redhead). Oh well, we shouldn't complain--at least we've both still got a full head of hair! The really unfair thing to me is that you guys look distinguished or flat out sexy with grey hair. Women with grey hair just look old--which is why I spend the $$$$ to keep myself looking half-way decent. Now if I could just come up with the money to get the botox and the eyebrow lift and . . . aging sure ain't pretty and fighting it isn't cheap!

Why thank you, but I feel compelled to note that was awhile back and MANY, perhaps too many, General Tsao's chicken dinners ago!!!!! :eek: :laugh:

[Alison]

Well, I'm 41, I guess I noticed my first grey hair about 36. But it's only a few. And it's on top so you can't see it. I'm blond so it makes it harder to see.
My mom who is 73, has very little grey hair. My dad started in his forties, but he has thick hair so it doesn't look that bad. My grandma who died a few months ago at the age of 98, had little grey hair also. So hopefully I will have my mom's side of the gene pool.

[sara1998]

I was 21 when I had Sara. I noticed my first grey hair at 22... go figure! :laugh: After Jason died, I have lots of grey hair in my bangs and in the hair around the sides of my face. When I pull my hair back when it's not colored, it's salt and peppered... I'm only 26....

Maria

[Carolina Girl]

I started getting grey hairs in my early 30s. At first, I pulled them out, but then I stopped because I'm already paranoid about LOSING my hair. For a man, that's socially acceptable, despite what some men think...those who insist on doing a comb-over AS IF anyone is fooled by that! But for a woman to lose her hair, that's horrifying. So for now, while I thankfully have long hair, I have it highlighted. It helps hide the grey. I'm sure I'll be doing full color before too long. Two of my older sisters color their hair regularly to cover the grey, and they are 41 and 37. Another sis, 40, is letting hers go natural salt and pepperish and it suits her.

Men should NOT color their hair. Let it be natural. To me, the grey hair or salt and pepper look on a man is incredibly sexy. And please, no comb-overs.

[Violet]

I have NO idea if I have any grays! I've been coloring/highlighting my hair for so long I'm not even sure what my real color is! But my highlights are very light blond and would hide any grays, I'm sure. Plus my mom is blond also and didn't really turn gray, it just kind of went white, which is also what happend to her mother. My mom did go thru hair loss, though. Not fun. But I think her "conditions" have something to do with it; i.e., alcoholism, lifelong HEAVY smoker, osteoporosis, cancer, etc, etc. So I'm not really worried about hair loss...

Carol

[Mari]

29, darkblonde, a few grey hairs in the fringe that only I can detect. My mother is 57 years old, has black hair with almost no grey at all. I've my father's hair though, so I guess I'll be white haired and nearly bald when I reach that age ;)

Question: is it spelled grey or gray? Or is that British English vs American English spelling?

I just turned 35.

I am now probably about 60% gray. My extremely queenie hair stylist likes my grey hair calling it "silver and distinguished".

I started turning gray about five years ago. It was not noticeable for awhile, and then one day- WHAM!!!- I had mega-grey hair.

Oh, well....

I usta dye my hair all the time- not because I had gray hair, but because I wanted to dye it different colors and shades (platinum blond, wine red, black, etc....). I don't wanna dye my hair anymore because I hate that "gray-growing-in-through-dyed-hair-you're-a-hag" look.

[sparky]

I am being dramatic :lol:

Probably 90-100 bucks, and I would have to get it done every 4-5 weeks. Of course, the idea is goofy. I am NOT flattered when told I look distinguished. I am not old enough to be shooting for "distinguished". I am still at an age where I would far prefer, oh, hunky. F-able. Hottie. Something that implies a little more action... :laugh: :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

This visual is absolutely hysterical.



It was - trust me!!!!!!! To add insult to injury, it took like ten minutes for me to isolate the one hair and pull the MF'er out :laugh:

[DeeGeMe]

I pay $125 every 10-12 weeks to keep mine looking "natural". But a lot of folks go the do-it-yourself route which is a lot cheaper. I'd probably end up with pink hair though if I tried to do it myself! :lol:

My hair is kind of short and grows fast, so I'd need more frequent tune-ups. OMG, the DIY hair color. NO BUENO. My sister used to color her own hair. I finally talked her into paying someone and she looks normal again. Was pretty scary for a while though. Looked like a wig. This guy at my gym went strawberry blond the other day. Obvious DIY job. I wanted to ask him which Muppet he tracked down and skinned to make his new hat.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Why, are they the last of your hairs?

Does it look like i'm lacking hair?

That's why I pay my guy the big bucks to keep mine looking halfway decent. I get "double-processed"--a base color first, followed by foils using three different colors to give it highlights, midlights, and lowlights. The good part is that it's a lot less noticable when my roots start to grow out. The bad part is that it takes forever-like 2 1/2 to 3 hours. And then there's the knowledge that one day all of my hair will probably fall out from all the chemicals or I'll develop some exotic cancer of some sort. But hey--what price beauty?

A lot of pregnant women avoid getting their hair foiled, yes. However, there are still some that do it anyway.

The big avoidance for pregnant women where I work are spa pedicures and reflexology. Evidently, on a pregnant woman, the back of your ankle (if touched in the wrong way) can literally induce labor. THAT is scary....and random too.

I'm surprised I don't have any gray hair because I am such a big ball of stress and tension...haha...it manifests itself, however, into big horrid awful and painful knots in my back...I have way too much back pain and I hate it...though I've pretty much gotten used to it...my knots have freaked out the most experienced massage therapist...and they can never seem to get rid of all of them altogether

Anyway..my grandma is in her mid 70's and still salt and pepper...well actually as of late I've been seeing a lot more gray...but my mom started going gray in her 40's...just a little gray..

I've actually never found a gray hair on my head...

[estranged4life]

I have had grey since I was in my early 20's...After the last part of the year (From August to December, When Debbie first starting to get ill) my grey multiplied by about 5 times (So now I have alot more grey...But definitely stress related!)

Kinda funny in a way, But we have figured that after Debbie's grey started to disappear (One of the positive's of the chemo treatment) we figured out where it disappeared to (Or shall we say to "Whom" it appeared on.)

Rather be grey..Than be bald!!!!

[The Tower]

Wow, platinum blond. What color was your hair when you were younger?

- Jake

I was a towhead until I hit puberty, then I went to brown. The platinum blond was first done in the late 80's around the time of Other Side of the Mirror.

Not only was it platinum blond, but I had a mullet!

Forgive the question, but are you a male? I always thought you were female, but I don't know many females who claim to have worn mullets. (I guess Sheena Easton did for a little while, come to think of it.) No offense either way.

And which color was your favorite?

after this past week's round of X-Rays (The first X-Rays on Wednesday definitely showed that my esophagus has narrowed which the DR. said is abnormal, And then on Friday having a CT scan...Which I am nervously awaiting for the results. I was toast on Friday because I had a reaction to the iodine dye used in the CT, So I was given Benadryl which put me in La-La-land the rest of the day.) I probably have even more grey hair.

I'm 23 and in december i found three grey hairs in one week.... no white... they were totally silver white... pulled them out... yeah i know you're not supposed to... but i don't care... haven't found any since then... but then again, i haven't really looked-

also... i recently did one of those awful DIY hair colorings... i really detest them after a few horrible adventures while drunk with my roommates in the dorm... but i had bronchitis and was out of work for 4 days and waiting at walgreen's for my prescriptions... wandering around delirious with 101 degree fever, and thought "hey this hair dye in a box might be fun" no... it was not... and it was very expensive to fix.... but i fixed it so it looks like my normal dirty blond with a few bright blond streaks.... so really, there mght be a hundred greys by now... but i have no idea

[darklinensuit]

after this past week's round of X-Rays (The first X-Rays on Wednesday definitely showed that my esophagus has narrowed which the DR. said is abnormal, And then on Friday having a CT scan...Which I am nervously awaiting for the results. I was toast on Friday because I had a reaction to the iodine dye used in the CT, So I was given Benadryl which put me in La-La-land the rest of the day.) I probably have even more grey hair.

Sorry to hear that. The iodine dye I had last fall really felt pretty gross. But shouldn't the la-las-land effects prevent grey hairs from stress, at least temporarily?
I sure hope for the widening of your esophagus. (That's not something I type every day.) What are you doing to burn off stress these days (other than coming here)?

Yeah, as a rule, don't go shopping with a fever.
Actually, I don't get grey hairs, I get white hairs. But now I'm thinking of them as my natural very platinum blond highlights. ;)

walk between 3-5 miles daily (I walk over 3 miles this morning) to burn off stress and to keep my energy up. I just make sure to take either water/Gatorade with me to keep from being dehydrated (I ALWAYS take my Sony Walkman CD player...Gotta have tunes!)

DIY looks like a good time...but it's not. I love how that Herbal Essence hair coloring (the "streaking party" commercial) makes it look SO easy to put your own highlights in. In a day we get about 350-400+ calls for people trying to book appointments at the salon. About 5-10 of those calls that I end up receiving are people saying, "I have to get in RIGHT AWAY....I needed a quick fix and tried doing it myself and I can't go out looking like this."

I do my own nails for the most part :cool: I can't get into the salon (even though i'm the one that books the appointments) for a manicure and pedicure. We're booked up 4 to 6 weeks in advance.

[GardenStateGirlie]

I hate ironing and making beds. Most of all I detest cleaning the tub. I have to make myself do it regularly, but sometimes I cave & call my building's maid service.

I don't mind doing laundrey (thank goodness I have my own machines) or wiping counters. I love the Lysol wipes.

When I was younger I really liked vacuuming, but now I don't care for it at all.

BTW, I have yet to use my dishwasher. I think I know how to use it.

I'm guessing most people here love vacuuming and ironing but hate doing laundrey. I'm correct, right?

Forgive the question, but are you a male? I always thought you were female, but I don't know many females who claim to have worn mullets. (I guess Sheena Easton did for a little while, come to think of it.) No offense either way.

And which color was your favorite?

- Jake

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep, I'm a guy. A dude. A joe. A manly man... lmao!

Even though I do have a y chromasome, yes there are women out there who wear mullets all the time. They're called dykes and many of them are my dear, dear friends.

If they have a gay pride festival in your neck of the woods this month, mosey on over and take a gander at the wonder of the lesbian mullet.

It will change your life. :lol:

P.S.: I like my hair best now- all those colors were a little scary to be honest.

grey hairs have appeared after yet another DR. visit for my ongoing throat problem (Now a possible and very serious stomach condition)...

I will have to undergo a procedure to have a scope put down my esophagus that will go into the top of my stomach (Thank God I will be under anesthesia) to see how bad the narrowing is (Which we now know is the worse at the junction where my esophagus connects to my stomach...It is too abnormal to be as narrow as it is.) and dialate the area to remove the scar tissue and possibly reduce the swelling. At the same time the DR. will take biopsies to check to see if I could possibly have cancer (Gee, A familiar word in this household as of late...)

"When it rains...It f--king pours..."

yeah well... the bottle said "temporary" which would make you think it would wash out in a week or so, right? well back then, my hair was a LOT lighter, growing up in southern california and playing waterpolo and going to the beach all the time... and that **** f*cking STAINED my hair... i went to a color specialist who showed me this diagram of what happened... my hair was wet, the little scale like thingies on my strands of hair (you know, how they show you on the panteen commercials) all opened up, sucked in the red coloring, and then closed up... and stained each strand to the core.... they gave me this solution of heavy conditioner and peroxide to soak my hair in... and it still took 3 months to get it all out.

i did it on the last day of school sophomore year with my best friend... somehow, hers washed out in a week. i barely had normal hair in time for school to start... and going to a strict catholic school... well... pink hair was NOT allowed...

here's a pic of it... about a month after it was done... just terrible... i looked like some punky kid...

[estranged4life]

Hi Estranged--When's your procedure scheduled? We Ledgies will be sure to send positive thoughts & vibes in your direction.

by Wednesday next week when they will perform the scope/biopsy (My DR. today decided to refer me to a DR. in OKC because it is best to do both procedures at once since otherwise I would need to go under anesthesia on 2 occassions which could be possibly risky)...As long as they don't schedule it on the 16th I will be alright, Gotta get the Fleetwood Mac concert craze outta my system that day :laugh:

That reminds me of the time in 8th grade we thought it would be fun to dye things using kool aide. Well, I'm a wuss..I was a non-participant BUT I did help dye my friend Karla's hair (and my hands). It literally took over a year for the color to come out of her hair. She had one big strand of red hair. Needless to say, kool aide was never touched again.

I had the scope thing done about five years ago. The great thing is that they knock you out so you don't remember it. The bad part is that for some reason they wait to knock you out until after you've had a look at the scope and you see all that tubing and you think "They're putting that where & how?" Not pretty. It sort of felt like I had a sore throat afterwars for a couple of hours--nothing major. Obviously though, your situation is a lot more serious than mine which turned out to be an ulcerated esphoagus (sp?). Anyway, I hope that it goes very well with you and that you get to Rock Out to the Mac on the 16th!

As a joke on me the week before the senior prom my date dyed her blond hair black. She foolishly used stuff that's supposed to be used on grey hair, so in a couple of days her hair turned dark green. The day of the prom her hair had to be stripped.

I once dyed my hair purple...but have SUCH dark hair that I first had to bleach it....so it was some weird yellowish color, then I put in the purple...my mom FREAKED OUT...I did this on a Sunday, she wouldn't let me go to church and then wouldn't let me go to school the next day, instead she took me to my uncle's sister-in-law who is a hair dresser to make my hair a more "human color" as she put it....I have no picture of it, unfortunately...but it looked pretty bad lol...still I was such a dork I was totally going to keep it purple....

Now I will not dare color my hair...any color....

i do have some blue stuff in my medicine cabinet though.... before i bought it i made the hair stylist lady SHOW me that it washed right out.... it does... and it's sort of fun sometimes... it even glows under a black light....

yes i AM a dork... just in case you were wondering.

How exactly did the lady show you? On her own head or yours?

I once dyed my hair purple...but have SUCH dark hair that I first had to bleach it....so it was some weird yellowish color, then I put in the purple...my mom FREAKED OUT...I did this on a Sunday, she wouldn't let me go to church and then wouldn't let me go to school the next day, instead she took me to my uncle's sister-in-law who is a hair dresser to make my hair a more "human color" as she put it....I have no picture of it, unfortunately...but it looked pretty bad lol...still I was such a dork I was totally going to keep it purple....

Now I will not dare color my hair...any color....

Careful - You just gave several younf Ledgies an idea for how to skip school and church. ;)

They tell teachers: Be careful to maintain high standards in your classroom. Some day these kids will be grown and administering your medication. :eek:

- Jake

:shocked: Wow...you had better watch out!! ;)

[GardenStateGirlie]

Remember Stevie's red and green streaks in the RAL days?

- Jake

I really liked those, actually. And didn't she have a green streak during Rumours as well? I always thought that was cool on her.

Ooooh glow in the dark. So one wash and it's gone??

We're in our early 20s and we follow Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks around. If dying your hair multiple colors doesn't make you a dork, that just might :laugh:

:puts on nerd-pride glasses: O_o

Hi Estranged--When's your procedure scheduled? We Ledgies will be sure to send positive thoughts & vibes in your direction.

I have an appt on the 18th to visit the Dr. before I have the scope done, Now I am relieved since it will happen after the FM Dallas show on the 16th.

Can't you at least humour me?? :distress:

Gee...thanks...I think :laugh:

[amber]

I am being dramatic :lol:

Probably 90-100 bucks, and I would have to get it done every 4-5 weeks. Of course, the idea is goofy. I am NOT flattered when told I look distinguished. I am not old enough to be shooting for "distinguished". I am still at an age where I would far prefer, oh, hunky. F-able. Hottie. Something that implies a little more action... :laugh: :laugh:
:laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:
Yes, thank you! I totally concur.
