Journal FortKnox's Journal: Gray?!?!? 38
What.... the.... f*ck?!?!
I look in the mirror today at work while washing me hands. My right side... like 5 big old, noticable gray hairs. I, literally, catch myself from saying "WTF!" in the middle of work (I got "What the f..." out before I realized I was gonna get myself in a pickle).
Its not the whole "graying before I'm 30" (I'll be 29 in Oct), its the whole "I'm balding, so the only thing I have to look forward to is my hair will be out before it has a chance to gray!"
So I get the worst of both worlds. What a bummer.
I swear... I'm gonna shave my head one of these days.....

She seemed to like it because she got treated as much older than she actually was. I lost track of her so I have no idea if she started dying her hair when she got older.

So true. It's what you do when nobody's watching that counts the most.

my hair, on the other hand, well... i won't see my first grey till i am well into my 50's and i won't lose any of my hair. yeah... family history has been kind to the male side of the equation. sure the hairline may slide a little... but that's it. my dad, who is 62... has only just started going grey. another reason no one can ever guess our ages.

Neeless to say my friends who've started to go bald are rather envious.

1) If you are fair-skinned or tend to burn easily, find a good sun-block.
2) It requires heavy maintenance (aka shaving every day or so) to keep the clean look.
3) It really won't "hide" balding - like a five o'clock shadow, a shaved head will still show the hair growth pattern.
4) When you later decide to grow it back in, you are in for more shock as the number of gray hairs will have increased.
(None learned from personal experience, but I have brothers.)

Just use an electric razor, and, every day, after you've done your face, just keep on going up. You can even do yur skull in traffic with a cordless - its not like you have to see it to shave it ...

Ok, so I may be a bit (extremly) biased because my boyfriend shaves his head due to the same reason. Might as well help nature along and not cling to your last remaining hairs. He swears by the Heablade [headblade.com] line of products. Though he uses the shaving goo more than the snazzy razor, and usually defaults to the basic triple blade for both head and face.

a friend at work says "whisky tango foxtrot"
and I've got greys -- my first appeared at 22, and promptly grew out brown again. This last year (29) i've gotten 4-5 rather noticable (to me) ones.
good thing I have a guy who likes grey-haired women.

If you have an odd-shaped head, you better be prepared for a long grueling fight with grays, or dye it.
Otherwise, shave it.
Facial hair, as someone else mentioned (B.E.?) is a must.
Otherwise you'll look like a tool.
Swearing or not swearing is NOT a sign of professionalism.
However, swearing like a sailor (or even better, a Marine stuck on a sailor's boat) is not kosher either. A well-timed swear word can be a powerful thing.

I was lamenting about getting quite a few grey hairs on the side of my head as my bride and I drove out to pick up some groceries.
She responded, "Oh don't worry. I like the grey hair. I'm what caused them, after all...".

But wait, there's more! Wait until you start getting the extra hair, that can not possibly serve any useful purpose. Yup, I'll be a silverback in a few more years.

BBB is grey both in beard and hair (and he's 2 years younger than me) and I love it.
I, on the other hand, am a true redhead, and no-one but me and my bestfriend (also a redhead) can really see it.
