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?

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

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

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.

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

) 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

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

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!

Strand--remind me to cut you some slack the next time we get into a political discussion-you're a cutie!

This visual is absolutely hysterical.

How expensive? I cannot imagine spending much on something like that for myself.

I am being dramatic

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...
