Embarassing Peronal Confession #6

I have GRAY HAIR.

No, I am not joking with you. It's not just one or two. In fact, near my temples I have a little sprinkling of white hairs that my friend Amy NOTICED yesterday.

It's possible that I've had these for a while, but since I've gone back to a darker hair color they're finally noticeable.

Still, I am only 29 years old.

I'm not ready for gray hairs.

You may remember how low maintenance I try to be, Jess, but I am thinking of highlighting my hair because I want to hide the grays coming in at the front (none on the sides yet, thank goodness :)), I think it's the third kid that does it to you.

Jessica Steed said...

Yes, I will blame Finn. The third kid does it to you ;)

But, glad to know I have good company.

Why do we think that we should look like we're in our twenties clear until we're in our forties?
Oh yeah, Hollywood.

Q is getting TONS on gray hair too. My dad's hair is still dark brown... and so is my grandma's for that matter... so I'm thinking I might have a while. No worries. I would have never noticed it. Silly Amy for pointing it out.

Try losing all your hair starting at 19!

Kate,
Yeah, Mark's been getting a few gray hairs recently. But, his are easier to see because his hair is dark and short.

Brandon,
It is not a tragedy that you lost your hair at a young age.
Bald becomes you.
You would not look like you any other way.

Thanks, Jess. Aw, you're sweet.

I discovered mine whilst in a St. Agnes Hospital bathroom mirror in Fresno, CA on June 22. 1991. Why do I remember the date? It was the day after giving birth to my third son. There is a similarity here, I'm sure. Although I was older. 30 1/2.

I wasn't in a mirror. I was in a bathroom looking in a mirror. Perhaps I discovered it then because I could finally stand close enough to the mirror to see.
