When I was around 20, I caught little glistens of grey flecked through my hair in the car rear vision mirror.
It made me think back to a family holiday when I was around seven or eight years old. Passers-by remarked to my parents, “It’s so nice of you to look after your three grandchildren.” Mum and Dad both laughed it off. It was the best that they could do.
The thing was, they did not look old. It’s not uncommon to go grey, but it astounds me how rude people can be about a few silver hairs.
When my father was in his 20s people used to tell him, “You’re going grey, you know?”

I’m 41 and have started to go grey at the temples. I’ve got better things to do than spend $300 and 3 hours of my life every six weeks fighting a natural process.
Lots of people can’t grasp why I would leave it as is; I recently got a haircut and the hairdresser saw grey and acted like she found cancer growing out of my head. I practically had to reassure her that everything was going to be okay.
😂 Imagine the horror when they realise that they too will be go grey one day as a result of simply not being dead yet?
