Greys & Things

This morning I parted my hair on the opposite side that I normally do.  I walked passed the mirror this afternoon and noticed how strange it looked on me.  It’s amazing how changing the part in your hair can make you look different.  As I was looking at my hair, I noticed all the gray hairs on the left side of my head.  Goodness!  I usually have about three regular gray hairs on the right side that I pull out about once a month or so.  The gray hairs on the left side are covered up so I don’t see them until the part changes.  I probably pulled out six hairs, but I couldn’t get one out.  It kept slipping through my tweezers and my arms got tired being up in the air that long trying to pull out the gray hair.  I know, I’ve heard that you are not supposed to pull them out, but that’s probably an old wives’ tale.  After-all, what am I supposed to do?  Color it?  I have a permanent and I’ve heard that coloring can really damage it.  I’ve also heard that curly hair does not show the gray hair as easily.  So, do I keep curly hair and pull out the gray plus any other hair that gets in the way or color it?

I asked my husband if I have gray hair in the back of my head because I can’t see back there.  He said no.  I have my doubts about that.  I guess I just won’t worry about it.  If I don’t see it, then it doesn’t exist, right?
