QuoteThough gray hair isn't always a welcome sign of aging, there's some evidence that suggests it can be an indicator of good health.

I can afford it. It drys my scalp out too much though and causes damage.

Fuck the shaving.  If you're gonna go all white and still have a hairline, go all out Frederick Douglass white.

Well I quickly stopped taking it and my last two echocardiograms have been great, so no worries on that front.

I'm in the "plenty of early grey, but hair line is looking good" school.  Given how bald my dad is (and how close to 40 I am) I think I'm doing pretty good.

I always said my hair can go any colour it wants, as long as it is still there.  And so far, so good.   :ph34r:

Hell, my hairline started the retreat at about 18, by my mid 20s it was on the Long March toward the occipital region.  Now it has gone from retreat to full rout with panic and mob actions.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

i started thinning at 16. still had a hairline, butless hair overall. Which sucked cause i had great hair. still have an ok hairline, but i'll probably have a letterman island in 5 year or so.

I have an ongoing fight with myself over my gray. I dislike the way dye looks in my hair (it never looks natural, no matter what the box says), but I dislike the gray, too. So, I dye my hair to cover the gray, and then hate the color. So, I let it grow out, but after about two inches or so of gray showing, I panic and dye it again. (My face is ringed in gray, though there's only a sprinkle elsewhere.)

I wonder how long until the product is on the market, and which kid I'll have to sell to get it. :hmm:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

My mom was so happy when she went "grey enough" that she could just ditch the dye and go white.

Myself, I don't midn the salt-and-pepper look, but I definitely have her hair.
