Yesterday I was blow-drying my hair and then I saw it: a white strand. That's the second in as many days. An occasional strand once in a blue moon is okay. But now it's quite possible that there might be more. It's hard for me to conceive of myself as having white hair.
I remember that when we were kids we used to pull out my mom's white strands and get 10 cents for each piece. Nowadays mom has a hairdresser visit once a month for her henna hair treatment. It's a natural-looking dye which makes her hair appear as if it has highlights. I wonder, will I be doing the same thing 30 years from now?
In my head I think that I am still young but that white strand begs to differ.

didn't understand what "cellophane" meant in parlor lingo until last year. yup, have white hair (silver sounds better)too! fortunately hidden, but nonetheless increasing... so i succumbed to "cellophane" finally. and i'm not even close to 30 years your senior. despite the silver hair, we think, we feel, we ARE still young!! :)
Yes I prefer to call it "silver" too. My hair has been slowly greying since high school. It took me a while to accept it, but now I love it. Especially since I keep getting compliments from men about it.
Last time I was in Manila, I even had a very cute younger guy (maybe late 20s) tell me he found me attractive because of my hair. And then he asked for my phone number! Sayang I'm married. Also I was leaving the next day.... oh well.
i had silver hair since i was seven... and now im 19, i have loads of them... they say its in the genes but no matter what, i like them... they're a symbol of wisdom...as they say...
