I can't help but notice this glaring new white (not gray, WHITE) hair on my head. I know it's new because it's only about an inch and a half long, and given that I grow about half an inch of hair a month, that means this one represents approximately the time I have spent working on the first chapter of my dissertation, which is due on Monday.
Oh dissertation, you have caused me to grow a white hair at the tender age of 26. How many more white hairs will I have by the time I finish?
On the brighter side, this may mean I am going to have white hairs (like my mom) and not gray hairs (like my dad). IMO white hair is a lot more attractive and cool looking than gray hairs. On the not so bright side, I think my mom started getting white hairs in her late thirties, so it seems I am considerably ahead of schedule.

Ouch. School does that.
ReplyDeleteTry purple hair dye. Nice and young. :)
last year I thought I saw a gray hair ended up dying my hair blue actually.:) But I'm teaching now, and might possibly be going on job interviews soon (if all goes well), so the purple hair dye is going to have to wait.
ReplyDeleteOoh, blue is cool! I want to do mine purple, but I'm still thinking. I think I'm going to do just the tips purple. (I have short hair, used to be a bit spiky until I grew it out some more by default.)
ReplyDeleteI've heard that hair doesn't turn grey, it turns white. The fact that white hair looks grey is an optical illusion.
ReplyDeleteMascara, applied directly to a grey or white hair, will cover it temporarilly.
Don't be sooo vain. LOL
ReplyDeleteNow get back to writing.
Happy Yom Kippur
ReplyDeleteI found a white hair, recently. I haven't pulled it out ... yet.
