Shades of grey

Shades of grey Posted on July 24, 20115 Comments

This time last year I had two grey hairs on my head. Now I have about a dozen, and at the ripe old age of 29, nonetheless. This has been a great source of stress for me lately. The Google tells me that beginning the greying process in one’s 20s is a sign of premature greying. I always was ahead of the game.

But the Google also says that an average human head has about 100,000 hairs, so if I’m going grey at a rate of 10 hairs per year, that means it should take me 10,000 years to go completely grey. I feel better already.

  1. I am loving your logic! I will gladly keep my fingers crossed, for you and I, that grey hairs stay away for 20 years or so.

  2. I used to freak out about my gray hairs, but now I just tell myself that for every gray hair I have, I’m 10x smarter than I used to be. Don’t know if that’s actually true, but it sure makes me feel better.

  3. Haha love the logic! I guess that’s one benefit of having lighter hair–it’s harder to detect grays. I’ve yet to see one on my own head (though Scott’s finally starting to sprout a few), and it’s one of the reasons I have wanted to die my hair chestnut brown for years but probably never will…

  4. That is good logic. I went blonde, so I don’t see grey hairs anymore. It’s nice. They didn’t bug me too bad, but when all is said and done, I’d rather not know they’re there.
