Grey is the new black.

I went gray in the temples about 10 years ago. Not a lot, mainly in the bottom of my sideburns. But my wife was on me for years to color it. Not me! I was going to look "distinguished"!

But one day I was at my barber's and on a lark asked him if he had any Just For Me. He did, and we decided to have an experiment. We would color the gray out of my hair, and see how long it took my wife to notice.

After we were done, I looked in the mirror. I thought I was 10 years younger! I said, "My wife will notice this IMMEDIATELY!"

I drove down to our beach condo, where my wife and in-laws were, and walked in.

Nothing.

No one said a thing! I couldn't believe it.

I was sitting in a chair that had a round base, and I leaned back a little too far. I fell completely backwards. BOOM! My wife came over and said, "Are you OK?"

I was, but I said, "My head hurts a little. Especially here and here", and I pointed right at the two sides of my temple that had been colored. "What do you think?" She said she was glad I was alright. WTH?!?

So I stood up and said, "Look at me. Do you notice anything different about me?"

My wife looked me over for a minute and said, "Is that a new shirt?"



I'm not sure she EVER would have noticed, but I said, "No! I got my hair painted!"

MORAL: Coloring the gray out will make you feel good, but probably no one else is going to notice. Which, if you think about it, is PERFECT!

...LOL...Great story...

giving lots of head will slow the process of a woman's hair going grey

Very True....
