Look How Long This One Is


I found it first when I was a junior in college. I was 20 years old, dealing with a broken heart and I couldn’t believe I was old enough, definitely not mature enough, for what I had just seen. 


A gray hair. On my head.



I have always been a worrisome child and that anxiety has followed its way intomy adult life. So it actually is strange that I didn’t find any grays sooner... ya know because of the rumored gray hair myth. Stress = Grays. And also Uncle Jessie’s (from Full House) saying, if you pluck a gray hair, 2 will grow back in its place. I semi believe this.


I have colored my hair since I was in high school so I technically have always been fighting this cause. Sometimes it’s a Wal-Mart box style dye, and when I’m feeling fancy (aka my mom treats me) I get it professionally colored. But currently, our finances are not allowing the luxury option, and my grays are out of control.



In my defense I do have dark hair, so they show up more. I’m sure you blondes out there have tons of them too, so ha!



As much as I hate them, I love them. It’s a game I play when I’m getting ready. The hunt. Mostly my grays hang out underneath so no one really sees unless I point them out. Which I do. Because they are awesome.  It’s amazing how fast they grow I’m always yelling at my husband “LOOK HOW LONG THIS ONE IS” Which I guess if someone just heard me yell that would be odd...


Am I the only one who is a 20 something female with this problem? Are the little gray monsters only finding me?



This weekend I will be saying bye to my annoying grays and training my husband to box dye my hair.

    I'm pretty sure I have some, but not really noticeable for my dark hair. They're in weird spots. But I've been dying my hair a lot since last August. And girl, let me tell ya, it's almost easier to teach yourself how to box dye your hair. I had a neighbor AND my mom try to dye it within a week of each other, and they BOTH missed some of the same spots. This time I did it myself and didn't miss any. Partly because I'm anal-retentive.

    And now this comment is forever long, apologies

      I should try and do it myself,because whenever someone else (non professional) is doing it I always point out spots that need more dye.....!! Brilliant idea!! And never apologize for a long comment, I believe novel comments are actually pretty awesome. So thank you for your long novel!

    My grays got out of hand while I was in China. There were so many more!! Did that happen to you, too?!
