Last week I was getting ready to walk into town to see Branden after work and do some shopping. I went into the bathroom to fix my hair when I notice how shiny my hair looked and in particular, one specific hair... My mind raced, my heart began to hope against the fear rising inside of me, and I desperately tried to single out the extremely shiny hair. Finally I grasped it and pulled! To my shock and horror, I was holding a silver hair that came from the top of my head! So much went through my brain, "But I don't have children! I'm not even 30! I sleep in till 10am every day and don't have a stressful job! My husband is only 25!!!".
As unforgiving as this bodily uprising is, I do tend to try and find a positive in all negative things. The silver hair had a bit of curl or wave to it so maybe I won't be stuck with stick strait hair forever...but that still doesn't make me feel any better!
I do have a lot to be thankful for, but this is my Padded Cell after all, so I am allowed to be a bit backwards!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I remember the day I saw my first gray. The day before I turned 27. Miss Clairol has been my friend ever since! It's sort of a blessing since my natural hair color is mud brown and about as shiny.
ReplyDeleteMine also went from stick straight to wavy, too. Bonus!!
I'll be here if you need a long distance shoulder to cry on!
I will be in mourning all day for your "silver" hair. I will gladly wear the silver proudly for you. :)
ReplyDeleteAh well. You know what the Cookie Monster said.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very young young one. I have bras your age. Revel in your gorgeous mane and do not fret. Nothing can diminish your beauty.:)
ReplyDeleteAt least this hair was on your HEAD--it could've been worse!!
ReplyDeleteYoung lady, you scared me half to death. I thought that something truly horrible had happened to you. Don't do that to me ever again because I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU, YOU LITTLE POOP! Yes, I can get that upset just two sentences into a post. The Hurricane has a single white hair. She's had it for years -- since she was 12 or 13 and now she's 26. She can explain it genetically or biologically or something but I can't remember the explanation. If I remember, I'll ask her to explain the single white hair phenomenon to you. But I doubt if I'll remember anything beyond Maggie scared the crap out of me. I have little white hairs along my forehead and they stick straight out. That's why my hair is pink and blue. I know I could choose blond or red or something normal, but I'm a pink and blue haired kinda girl. I'm not as mature as The Hurricane.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Allow me to cry with you. A couple of weeks ago Angie told me there was this grey hair trying to escape my left nostril. Aaaaaaah! (That's what I was thought when she told me.) 'Really?' is what is said....
ReplyDeleteLove that picture. Happy Thanksgiving!
My first silver hair appeared when I was recovering from major surgery and was merely 28 years old. I took that little sprig and proudly tied a piece of thread around it. After surviving a pretty gruesome illness and operation, I felt a sense of pride in that little surviving hair.
ReplyDeleteMy first one came in sometime around me turning 16. Needless to say, I've gotten very used to my salt-n-pepper locks.
ReplyDeleteI shaved my hair off years ago for a cancer benefit, and I've kept it that way; sooner or later I'd have ended up losing it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI do keep my beard though; haven't seen grey in it yet...
