Stupid gray hair

I've had a few here and there before, but all of a sudden it's like I am noticing a full rebellion by my hair. Every morning I look in the mirror and it seems like it's getting even worse! They're in my part, in my bangs, and the back of my head. I can't afford costly salon dye jobs, so I am torn between boxed hair dye and just accepting my fate to be salt-n-pepper-ed by the time I'm 30.

What do you think? 

Re: Stupid gray hair

  • I'm going salt and pepper.  It really doesn't look that bad and they don't show much even though my hair is dark...looks sort of like bright sparkles rather than grey.  People often say they don't see all the grey until I show them (and I think I have quite a bit)
  • I don't want to talk about it.  I found a bunch all over my head last night that I didn't realize were there :(
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I'm so sorry -that just sucks!  I've been finding more and more lately and I am not  handling it well.  I'm in a similar situation as you -I just can't afford to it done professionally on a regular basis (plus, let's face it, I can only ever be bothered to get my hair cut a couple of times a year) so I'm wondering what I'm going to do...  For some reason I think you could actually pull off going salt-and-pepper grey but you're still so young I could understand your not wanting to... I'm afraid I don't know much about the box dye jobs but they seem like such a PITA.  Guess I'm no help but just wanted to offer my sympathy -it sucks!
