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*

September 28, 2009 at 1:53 pmAw 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!

September 28, 2009 at 4:55 pmParis, 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
September 28, 2009 at 5:56 pmHi Jamilla
That I would age as gracefully as you have! 😀 I will be exploring hair color once more start to appear 😀

September 28, 2009 at 5:56 pmHey prettybeautiful
Yeah I know – I’m only glad my hair usually goes blonde/gold instead of white for now 😉
Jessica says
September 28, 2009 at 5:30 pmNo worries Paris B! White-gray hair can look regal..remember Meryl Streep in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’? 🙂
ParisB says

September 29, 2009 at 9:59 amHi 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
September 28, 2009 at 9:04 pmI 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
September 29, 2009 at 10:01 amThanks Gio
Ya I am planning to dye it when it gets out of control 🙂
Nikki says
September 28, 2009 at 9:11 pmPB, 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
September 29, 2009 at 10:01 amHey Nikki
You know what? That might be it too! Stress is terribly aging.
Liz says
September 29, 2009 at 12:34 pmDefinitely stress if its around this age. You were probably thinking too much about something.
ParisB says
September 30, 2009 at 9:46 pmHi Liz
Work probably LOL…
Monstro says
September 29, 2009 at 1:11 pmDon’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
September 30, 2009 at 9:47 pmHey Monstro
I’ve perked up 🙂 I’m going to start coloring too once it gets out of hand
Syen says
September 29, 2009 at 7:18 pmHappy 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
September 30, 2009 at 9:47 pmHey Syen
Not yet birthday time but thank you! 🙂 Your job would give anyone white hair! LOL…
Adele says
September 29, 2009 at 9:08 pmAww 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 😛
