I am fascinated by my gray hair. In a good way. I know some people pull theirs out or look for roots so they can dye it back to whatever color they think looks good. Not me. I'm looking for it and getting excited every time I find a new one.
For a long time, I just had a couple that I could keep track of. Recently, I've found what feels like a bunch more. Sadly, they're spread out all over my head. It would be kinda cool if a bunch of them would migrate together so I could have a stripe. Preferably at my temple. I don't really want to look like a skunk, but I guess I'd take that, too.
I'd eventually like to have a full head of naturally gray hair. I wonder when it will happen. I'm 45 now and just have a few. Will I be 60 or 65 when it finally gives up the ghost and goes all gray? Will it happen suddenly or will it go one strand at a time like it is now until I'm mostly gray with a few brown stripes? The ladies in the nursing home with white hair would always tell me that for a long time their hair was ugly while it was changing over.
Change is rarely pretty. You don't get to pretty until you've reached the other side.
