the journey

I just found my first grey hair about 10 minutes ago. It all began innocently enough while I took a quick toilet break from my uni work, as I was washing my hands I looked up at myself in the mirror and caught sight of something, distinctly different from the background of my dark brown hair. Could it be? I grabbed it and held it up for confirmation. Yes! A long silver, thick hair strand.

Confirmation that I am growing older. Has anyone else found their first grey hair yet? What ages were you? I'm 31.5 - James is almost all grey, but I have had none, until today that is.

I got my first grey hair at about age 21!!!!

I am now about 30% grey. Well, when I haven't put a fresh coat of paint through it I am! lol

I found my first a little while ago - pure white and it looked very cool. They don't actually bother me too much but perhaps the fact my tally is now about 3 is why.

The Husband has quite a bit of silver around his ears - has had since about 23. I love it.
