I always believed that I won’t get any grey hair until late 40s, just like how my mom and dad did, but the life has its own mystery way. There is always variations for different individuals. You don’t need to expect the worst, but sometimes you should be prepared for the worst.

Technically speaking, my recent finding about grey hair is not something totally new. My very first one was found in 1999 when I was having my hair cut in China. The hair dresser found one and pull it out to show me, and that was proved a very much an one-off thing for the following 9 years. It didn’t bother me at the moment and because the colour of my hair is quite light anyway, so it was actually hard to tell it was grey or more close to light ginger.

However, I started to believe that now I have something serious coming up in the last 3 months. What happened was I tried to part the hair in different ways, so I saw a lot of new grey hair shoots coming up from where I parted the hair.

Now I can no longer deceive myself saying that is just one-off thing and I would be free of grey hair at a relative young age. They are coming and once they had begun to come, there will be no way back. There will be only more, and not becoming less.

I don’t know how you would feel about seeing the first grey hair on the top of your head, I was really shocked. Some people might get used to this, like my husband. I wouldn’t get him start to think about at what age he saw the first grey hair. For others, like me, probably would never feel completely okay with the situation that he had gone through.

There is only one thing that might make me feel better to accept the fact of going grey, which is silly but very true. Guess what, with going grey, I might finally be able to try out colouring my hair with different sort of colours

Well, by the way, if I had grey hair like this woman in the photo above, I wouldn’t even bother trying to change it at all.
