Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for April 28, 2021

You mean something like,‘how could they not?’

Like mother, like daughter.

Maybe she got them from her father?

I have always been a fan of short hair on women. I think it had something to do with the first time I saw Audrey Hepburn. Gorgeous!

My father was grey at 19 years old. Fighting in WW II can do that to you.

I had a supervisor one who had almost completely white hair by 30. She looked gorgeous. She did not try to dye it, she just went with it. It looked really good on her. I think I was 19 at the time. I have been slowly turning gray for about 10 years now and thinning at the same time :o( (I used to have really thick hair) Oh well. I just keep it short (I mean almost buzz cut short) along the sides and back and just long enough on top that I can comb it over and put a flower clip in my hair – that way people can tell I am female. LOL My nature voice is in the deeper female range (contralto = tenor), so I can fool them sometimes. The main reason I keep it short is the beginning of arthritis in my shoulders make it difficult to keep my arms up for very long to wash/brush my hair. Really short hair – just a few seconds to wash/rinse and brush. Done! :o)

I always told my recently deceased wife that when I started going grey/gray I had “earned” every one of them. Unfortunately I am now earning them much faster.

I didn’t have a single grey hair until I had kids. They came in fastest during the teen years.

I had no idea Rita could be so self-aware about her effect on people.

I think she looks great.

Nobody in my family has ever gone completely gray, though some of the men tend to baldness and shave their heads to try to make it look like a choice. My brother had a full head of hair with very little gray when he passed away at 74. I refer to my very few white hairs as “tiny platinum blonde highlights”, and when I occasionally run into high school classmates they seem skeptical that I don’t color my hair. If I had as much gray as Rita, I would color it, just because I don’t like the look of a lot of gray mixed with my particular shade, but if I went completely snow-white very quickly that would be cool.

My dad turned grey early. I always admired his full head of silver (now white) hair. I think all three of us kids celebrated when we got our first grey hairs, but none of us lucked out and got his full head of silver.

Got my first white hair at 16. I had a few words to say to Mother Nature.

Two words: Elsa. Lanchester.

Frankenstein’s betrothed?

Family stories have said that my great-aunt had white hair by age 16. When I knew her, she had the most beautiful silver hair that simply sparkled! I started going grey/white in my 20s. I am happy to say that the family gene responsible for sparkling silver-white hair seems to have landed in my DNA! (I do not and will never dye my hair.)

I started getting grey hair right about age 40 (same age as when my mother suddenly went blonde). However, when my father died at age 81, I was 48 and I had considerably more grey (actually, more like white) than he did.

Thank you to John, Scott, and all the commenters who are spelling the word “grey” instead of “gray”! I’ve always preferred the former and think it looks so much better. (Is it a British vs. American thing or what?)

Nice bon mot, Rita!

hmmm…basic again okay, grey okay, but too short…but thanks so much! ‘maskless’!

your stressing me caused it

I’m at the point where it looks like I’m wearing a brown wig just over the top of my gray hair. :)

I started to get mine at 17 and completely by 20.

Priceless! Love it!
