I think I may choose to do just that - grow old gracefully. I’m talking about my hair, which skipped gray and started sprouting whites when I was around 17. The grays are starting to arrive so there is a mix of both to take over my colour. I’ve coloured my hair for years. When it was long (at its longest it was down to my waist) it took me two boxes and when it’s short (it’s currently at its shortest), it takes me anywhere from less than half a box to a whole one. I had a trim today and, as I haven’t coloured my hair in a couple of months and my hair is super-short, the gray/white is very evident, especially at the sides. The top is still hiding it relatively well (except for where the odd white peeks through in all its wire-y glory) as it’s a little longer on top and the boxed colour hasn’t grown out yet.

Complete with eye baggage and perturbed expression. I was not perturbed.
I was, however, cold. Note the two sweaters over the t-shirt, which was over the tank.

Do I really want to go grey at 30, nearly 31? Not really but I’m kind of intrigued by the idea. I think it will be far easier to go grey with my hair this short than if it were longer. We’ll see. For now I’ll leave my hair as is and see how it goes. It’s definitely a lot less hassle.
