I've been getting a few grey hairs. Nothing really too noticable, but they've been there since I was about 19.
I'm really not sure where my genetics are going with this. My mom had significant grey by 35. My dad, at 59, is getting kind of salt-and-peppery.
Why the blonde?
I've always wanted hair lighter than my skin. And with my skin, I've gotta go blonde. I have nothing against my natural hair colour, but I find blonde a great distractor. You're less likely to notice any flaws in my self-administered haircut, I wager, and it looks like I've actually given a fuck. It sure beats actually styling or combing my hair, which I avoid strenuously.
I was told to go with lowlights if I wanted a more natural look with less maintenance look. it doesn't cover everything - so the root thing is n't as noticable. the ony reason Ididn't was that my neighbor does my hair in my house. I lose her - and I will look into it.
and yes all my greys are in the front
Ack! Worlds collide! I mean, not really *my* worlds, but I still feel all wigginsed by it.
Oh, and wigginsed should be a word. Or I need sleep. It's debatable.
Cass, I mean, it was wigginsy enough that we visited the same schools on the same weekends (he and another guy, actually...I wonder if the other guy randomly knows someone I know!). And now this!
Okay, that post creeped me right the hell out, and I'm not any of those people!
Wigginsy! Totally wigginsy.

You puts stuff on teh internets, and damn if someone else doesn't find it...
::thinks::
I need to bleach my series of tubes.
I'm distressed by my current hair. I mean, the cut is shaggy and overgrown, but I know the good cuts for me and I can easily get it back in shape. But the COLOR -- oy. My gray came in really fast during my outrageous-shades-of-red years and I haven't learned to adapt AND IT'S ALL RIGHT IN THE FRONT WHERE I CAN'T HIDE IT UNDER CLEVER STYLING.
It won't take color the same way any more, and even if it did, the roots are utterly obvious growing back in. So I've been letting it grow out, which adds to my general unkempt feeling. And I can't figure out whether to just let it be gray (but I can't pull off the sexy Jamie Lee Curtis gray until it evens out more, and anyway I'm SO NOT READY YET!) or to figure out whole new dyes and techniques and whatnot that'll actually work.
Bleh.
(And I have to admit to a deep resentment of people who get all OMG! I HAVE THREE GRAY HAIRS! Bite me, babe, I'm Steve Fucking Martin.)
Heh. I just sent amych an email, because I thought I was reading Natter.
I have exactly the same thing going on. I never had to color, and then bam. It seemingly happened during one color cycle. And so much is in the top/front.
If my grey would look like Theodosia's, I'd say bring it on, but I have too much, yet not enough.
Nicole and beth, you too?
