As you age, your hair is _______?

[bczoom]

My kids have been razzing me about getting old. I'll leave the gaining weight out of the conversation but they mention my hair.

I'm not 50 yet but most of my hair is gray/white. Still have a full head of it but my color of years passed is pretty much gone. Beard still has some color...

How's yours?

[thcri]

is disappearing a color :confused2: What is left is white.

[jpr62902]

Mine's missing. I think it went to my ears.

Mine's still red, however, I have these couple of gray ones that keep sprouting up and I yank them out.. bastids!

I have a theory about what happens to your hair. Let me know if you think it fits for you.

What happens to the top of your head, you get from work.

What happens to the side of your head, you get from family.

To stereotype some, look at accountants and lawyers. Lots of hair on the sides, nothing on top.
Using my job/life, I grayed quickly on the side (kids will do that to you, especially as a stay-home dad) but having a relatively stress-free job kept my hair on top (and it was the last to change).

I have a full head of hair that is turning gray mostly on the sides. My beard that I wore for a few years turned gray so I shaved it off. However two of my son's are going bald and they are in their mid 40's. My wife's hair stopped dying years ago and it is gray also. As for weight mine stays pretty steady for the last 25 years.

My grandfather said he never lost his.....he just grew through it.:biggrin:

[muleman]

Still have almost all mine but the beard is mostly turning grey. If it goes it goes. Not a big deal how much or what color.

[thcri]

So let me ask you girls, Why do you dye your roots grey? At least asking here I can't get slapped. :hammer::hammer:

Good intro into a follow-up question.

Do you dye your hair? Do you care what color your hair/mustache/beard is?

BTW, I have gotten comments like "Your grandchild is so whatever", to which I reply, "That's my kid, not grandkid". Oops.

My grand father was bald as a cue ball on top gray / white haylo never saw him with a beard.

My dad had a full head of hair still pretty much still red/brown till the day he passed away.

Looking at me I'm headed (pun intended) like my grand father pretty thin on top like him but I have a grey/white beard.

I see a every other generation thing going because what a I remember from my pop pop pop (great grand father) he had a full head of hair.

I had salt and pepper thru my hair in my late twenties. Mostly salt now. My beard is fairly thick and comes in mostly white with black/brown streaks.

[fogtender]

HA! My hair is growing back! :w00t2:

All you need to do is get Prostate Cancer, have them give you Lupron shots for two years which removes all the Testosterone in your system. Which in turn, turns you into almost a gal, which allows the hair to grow back...:shifty:

Looking back on it though, I didn't mind losing my hair at all, that is what baseball caps are for!:flowers:

[tsaw]

Thinning... but not a gray hair yet. About 5 years ago.. I used to get carded for buying cigs and beer.
That has stopped.:hammer:

Effing on fire and I'm running 90 miles an hour all the time!



Actually, it's brown. And although cut shorter, about the same as when I was in high school. Some may recall that I lived next door to Working Woman (and her 20 siblings - well, it seemed like that many :smile:). She's about the only person on here that I know of who can verify that. None of my grandparents had what would be considered thick bushy hair, but they all had hair that was only 'salt and pepper' when they passed on in their mid 90's. My dad is 64 (yeah, you can do the math - I'm almost as old as he is according to him) and he has just a touch of gray in his sideburns and his hair is actually thicker than mine; always has been. BTW, he still lives next to Working Woman's parents. I always clear their road and driveways in the winter since they live on a relatively short dead end road.
