Taking after my father

[jethrien]

My mother's hair didn't start to go noticeably grey until I was in college. My father's hair, on the other hand, was apparently starting to turn when he was in college.

Guess which one it looks like I'm taking after.

I mean, it's not noticeable yet to someone just looking at my head from a normal distance. But you can pick pretty much any random spot, part the hair, and find at least four or five glints of silver growing along the part. And of course, they're more coarse and curly than my original hair. While none of it's noticeable now, at this rate, I'm willing to bet it will be noticeable before I'm 30.

So the question is, how vain do I intend to be?

I agree. You have so much hair, that it will take a lot of grey to be noticeable. When it does become noticeable, decide what you think about how it looks. (It could look great !) Then if you feel like dying it, go for it. You're allowed to be as vain as you want. I've just avoided it because I'm afraid of the expense and inconvenience of maintenance. But depending on how it looks in a year or so, I may do it.
