I am not feeling blue today, just gray... actually white to be exact. You see, I need my hair done - and badly. Not just cut, but colored. Yes, I am one of the many that is very thankful for the invention of hair dye. Oh, not for the purpose of getting a new color (I actually like my color) because if I didn't my white hair would show - and it is certainly showing now.
If you have seen pictures of my father, his brother, or my grandmother you will see that I come from a line of people with WHITE hair. The good thing about these genes is that is is beautiful white hair - my grandmother gets complimented all the time. Let's face it, though, at 31 neither me, nor my hubby, is ready for my hair to go white... so I color it.
It has been coming in slowly since I was 19, but I feel certain that I will be completely white headed in ten years. Oh, you won't know because I swear I will color it until I am "old enough" to sport it and it be acceptable. So if you are blessed with the kind of hair that is showing no signs of aging - thank your lucky stars. The rest of us out there will keep covering it up and pretending it isn't really there. :)

I agree because I am right there with you. I am starting to get those white hairs more often. I put rinses on my hair, but haven't gone the permanent route yet. I have a feeling it is coming soon though....
Yea, I had to go to the dreaded permanent color several years ago. Those of us with dark hair have to give it up sooner or later. It is impossible to hide those gray ones with such a dark background. We are doomed, Suzanne. :) Hope you are well. Thanks for stopping by!
