FabSwingers.com forum: A Discovery...

By (user no longer on site) OP

I normally shave my head every week. Lately I've been letting myself go and haven't done so for over 2 weeks now.

Upshot is is that I've discovered I'm going gray

This is still sinking in, I'm not quite sure how I feel about this yet. How did you feel when it happened to you?

You know I dye my hair right?

I'm sure I had my first greys before I was 20. I'm wanting to stop dying now, to let the grey ones through so they can take super bright dye.

I would happily go bright colours, but the upkeep is just a mission and hard work getting it ready to start with.

Rambling. I'm rambling

I have a winning combination of my hair starting to thin out, a slow creeping hairline and grey appearing at the same time.

The sides started to grey out 5 years ago, but I only notice that in pictures. The grey appearing on top took me by surprise

I started finding the odd silver hair before I hit my teens so I've kind of got used to them as they've slowly encroached. Plus the rest of my hair is so dark they tend to stick out. Sometimes I dye them, sometimes I let them grow out a bit since having a silver parting doesn't really bother me - apart from the fact other people always feel they have the right to point it out. I grew my pubes back a bit last year and discovered I had a silver patch there as well though. That was a

moment.

I spotted my first grey hair at 23 but with a father that was erm badger coloured and a totally white haired grandfather it was pretty easy to except my fate.

It's not taken over as fast as I expected and I take comfort in the fact that both of my grandads died with full heads of hair so at least I need not worry about baldness.

Both are perfectly acceptable spellings. Over time 'gray' has become the more widely used in the US and 'grey' in the UK, but both are correct.

Oh, the dismay of seeing the first grey hair on my head was quite something... but that was a few years back. Then there was the first grey hair on my chin last year, which was a shock.

And this year I found a pure white one in amongst my chest wig!...

I'm dreading the eventual appearance of one downstairs...
