You have Grey Hair!!! email this discussion to a friend?

How do you respond to this? It seems like I have had some grey hair for about 5 years now, but there is always one of my friends or relatives just noticing it.

I want to say, you just noticed. But I just say "I know".

How do you, did you, or would you respond when someone says this to you?

i have grey hair (hangs head sadly) but i cannot afford to get it coloured. i bought the 'at home' method and that seemed to work somewhat, but i just feel that i am too young to have grey hair!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

I've decided just to let mine grow in gradually. I think it's a lot cheaper than getting highlights....LOL

I would say the same thing. I'm 19 but I want to get grey hair. It might sound weird but yeah I think people look really nice when their hair is that color. It just looks really nice, i don't think I'm going to color it when I get old. I'll leave it like that.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

I don't mind it myself. I don't think I actually wanted it, but I'll live with it. It's part of life.

I can't color my gray hair any more because I am now allergic to the hair dyes, both in-home and salon types. I'm 35 have colored my gray hair for 15 years. (My mother started getting gray at any early age as well, must be hereditary.)
What would I say to some one who just notices that I have gray hair? I don't know. I guess whatever comes to mind when they say something. So far, no one has said anything and the past hair dye is fading quickly. I know they are seeing it (you can't help but notice because about 75% of my hair is gray) but perhaps are polite enough not to say anything.

Know of any natural hair dye solutions? I absolutely hate looking twice my age!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Wow, bless your heart. That's a lot of grey hair for your age.

I'll check with my sister. It may take her a while to get back with me, but she usually knows a lot of natural remedies.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

http://www.naturalhairdye.com/

That's the website that my sister came up with.

She also said she thinks Henna is natural hair coloring.


myLot reputation of 86/100. shmeedia (570)   ranked 5,572 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

tarheelnancy are you able to use products like henna? they may not make you allergic. there are other products that use no ammonia or chemicals, but perhaps you are not allergic to the chemicals but the dyes themselves? in which case, even henna would give you a reaction.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Thanks for the information. Very informative!

Have a great day!

Well I am sorry to say I have not crossed that road as of yet. But I have wanted gray hair ever since I can remember. I think gray hair is very beautiful. I am 56 years old not 1 gray hair yet. I keep looking though. I even frost my hair at times to give me that salt & pepper look. There is really no need to respond in any other way, I would think, except that I Know!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

LOL - Yep, that's what I really do, to keep from being rude and saying you've known me for how many years now and you're just now noticing. LOL

Thanks for your response and have a great day.

I was lucky. As a blonde, my old lady hair came in more white than grey, so it looked like I had streaks. For a few years, I had a favorite stylist - about my age - and she told me over and over how lucky I was. She once said she counted 9 shades of blonde/lt. brown hairs and said, "No bottle can do what nature does so beautifully."

I still colored it to get rid of the grey/white hairs. Then I was really sick and then got the call that my brother died. Off hubby and I went in the car to the funeral. And my sisters were surprised and wondered, "When did you go grey/white all over?"

I hadn't even noticed until they pointed it out to me.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  6 months ago

Funny how sometimes you get busy and don't pay attention to the little things. I guess that's what my friends who hadn't noticed my grey hair in the last 5 years had done.:)

Thanks for your posts and hope you're having a great weekend!

I respond in one of two ways. I either say "you are just discovering this" or I will point out that they have way more then I do. It really all depends on the person who says it to me.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

That's so funny. The last person that pointed this out, did happen to have quite a few more than me. LOL

I would say that "I've got more where that came from!" LOL! Oh by the way, they said once you start dying your hair, the more grey hair you'll have.

I saw one Japanese woman across the street who fashioned her hair short and grey but dye the ends with black, it looks really good, I might try that one day! G'day!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Glad I haven't colored mine.

Sounds like a unique look.

I would try to make a joke! There are more things that change as we get older than anyone realizes! I was at my friend's place the other day, and I think his eyes are turning grey! HE told me that our voices change quite often as we get older.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Good point you have there. Just be positive and see the humor in it. Thanks for your response and have a great day!


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2619)   ranked 969 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Yes, it is best to laugh it off! Some people have gray hair as teenagers!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

That's true. I don't know if it is just caused by stress or if it is in some people's genes. I've never really studied it, and science was never one of my best subjects.


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2619)   ranked 969 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

It has something to do with that, and the original color of our hair! People with black hair get gray hair sooner, like my mom told me, it can happen from an early age and does not indicate your true age! I have seen some people in their forties with a full head of gray hair!

10. myLot reputation of 94/100. emma412 (681)   ranked 4,273 out of 27,785 in life   5 months ago

I wouldn't really mind if someone pointed them out. In fact, I'm usually pointing them out to other people as I'm going gray at a young age. I guess I have my genes to thank for that. I just started coloring my hair so it's hard to see them unless it's growing out. I think it's a bit rude for people to point it out especially if you are sensitive about it. I think I would point something out about them right back to make them see how it feels.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (2496)   ranked 43 out of 27,785 in life  5 months ago

Oh wow, you have a creative idea there. Wonder how it would make them feel...LOL
