Look what I found while combing my hair last night…
A pure white hair!
Admittedly it isn’t the first I’ve ever found on my head but coming on the cusp of turning a year older it is a nasty reminder of age catching up on you. It was so traumatizing I had to go lie down 😛
So excuse me if I’m feeling a little blue 😛 *drama queen*

Aw Paris don’t be blue! 🙁 This is completely normal! Think of it as a complete new chapter in your life! (Not sure about your age but a new birthday is always the start of something special :))
Hope you feel better, love!
Renee
ParisB says
Hey Renee
Thank you 🙂 It just sorta hit home that eeps! I’m turning older! 😛 I can’t wait for my birthday to be honest, I want to take a break! 😀
Saintangelius says
Bring on the industrial strength hair dye!
ParisB says
Haha Saintangelius – my thoughts exactly!
Jamilla Camel says
Paris, I have been colouring my hair for so long, I don’t really know how much gray I’ve got!!
Besides, this is an opportunity to experiment with cool hair colours!!
ParisB says
Hi Jamilla
That I would age as gracefully as you have! 😀 I will be exploring hair color once more start to appear 😀
prettybeautiful says
oh, absolutely nothing to worry about, i have plenty of them on my head…
ParisB says
Hey prettybeautiful
Yeah I know – I’m only glad my hair usually goes blonde/gold instead of white for now 😉
Jessica says
No worries Paris B! White-gray hair can look regal..remember Meryl Streep in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’? 🙂
ParisB says
Hey Jessica
Haha… yup! Or I could also look like Cruella de Ville? 😉

ParisB says
Hi Lynn
Thank you. Its not my birthday yet but I appreciate the thought 😀 I’m not worried about the white hair per se just very taken aback to see it 🙂
gio says
I have quite a few white hair myself. It’s normal, don’t worry Paris. And you can always dye them and experiment with colors. Happy birthday!
ParisB says
Thanks Gio
Ya I am planning to dye it when it gets out of control 🙂
Nikki says
PB, I’ve found a couple of white hair myself, and I don’t blame the age, I blame stress 🙂 And with your work? I’m sure its because of stress 🙂
ParisB says
Hey Nikki
You know what? That might be it too! Stress is terribly aging.
Liz says
Definitely stress if its around this age. You were probably thinking too much about something.
ParisB says
Hi Liz
Work probably LOL…
Monstro says
Don’t be blue Paris! You’re far from old lah!
I started graying in my early 20s…but who cares!
Only problem is I have to constantly dye my hair which is a pain!! Total genetics on my end, since my dad was graying in his teens–shocko.
ParisB says
Hey Monstro
I’ve perked up 🙂 I’m going to start coloring too once it gets out of hand
Syen says
Happy Birthday dearie!!!
Well. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been having white hair since I started working. Serious. So, it’s been.. what, 4 years I’ve been having white hair?
But yea, I screamed my lungs out too, the first time I found a strand. Now it’s like, “Bah. Humbug!” LOL.
ParisB says
Hey Syen
Not yet birthday time but thank you! 🙂 Your job would give anyone white hair! LOL…
Adele says
Aww PB 🙂 White hair can be cool too! Plus it’s a right that one usually has to earn slowly with respect and dignity through the journey of life.
If it makes you feel less traumatized, then I won’t be shy to admit that I’m barely 20 and I’ve had strands of white hair popping out here and there since my teens 😉
Mine’s likely a combi of stress and genetics… although I don’t know why a gal who hasn’t even started the horrors of working full time has to put the blame on stress 😛
