Janstar,
I can very much relate - early 40's full head of white hair. Though I say I haven't aged in 10 years :D

My hubby's brother has had white hair since he was 18 (he's now 65 or 66) adn when DH an I married, he had a streak of white in his hair, but could cover it by combing it over. Me? I have a bit of gray, but not enough that it bothers me...it's more troublesome to my DD. (She wants to pull out all she can find, but I won't let her...told for each one she pulls out, 9 more come to mourn. LOL) Coloring it? No, because I don't like what it does to the texture...makes it brittle.

I'd rather spend money on sewing stuff than for hair products.

That was just her point of reference.

Nope, you definitely don't look anywhere near 47 there. Btw, you're my age. I'm still coloring my hair, but now that I'm so old it scares younger people, I'm selective about who I tell my age to.

Looks can be deceiving. My 7 year olds first day in a new school - little boy walks up says "Hi, what's your name, is that your Grama?". Oh boy, there went $65 to the hairdresser for beautiful dye, LOL :D .

What really gets to you is when someone thinks you are your older sister's mother or your Dad's wife, I have had both happen. The business when it came to Dad's wife, made me wonder does he look really young for his age or I look really old. :lol: later heard they wondered how he got such a young wife, whooow! Well, I've been getting gray since my 20's. I've a lot more now but I quit coloring even with the all natural temp kind because in order to keep it covered I had to do it so often.
