CLEAR Hair!!!

It's happening.

I can't stop it.

And I cannot join that "club".

You wanna know what I am talking about?

Please don't laugh or snicker, just be

empathetic and give suggestions.

I am a girl who gets her hair colored for fun.

You know, highlights sometimes, dark other months of the year...

mix it up now and again and 

I try different hair colors and looks for fun.

Well now, I am gonna be getting my hair colored

because......

it's necessary.

I found 6 clear gray hairs last night.

Yes, yes, I have had a couple before, but nothing you would ever see.....

I usually find them when I am washing my face for bed at night, and I decide

to see how bad my roots are, or flossing my teeth 

or checking if there are any stray eyebrows to pluck.

Branmuffin is usually laying in bed watching me in the mirror

going..."seriously, what are you doing in there?".

Well this is just different.

It was horrific, in fact.

I brushed my hair and parts of my hairline glistened and sparkled.

Read that again......

I saw parts of my hairline glisten and sparkle.

I like jewelry and things that sparkle...not hairlines.

So, I started plucking, and searching, and finding more

clear gray hairs.

And if I didn't have somewhere to go,
I would've shushed the kids out of my bathroom, 

locked the door, and 

contorted my body in weird positions to search every

area of my scalp.

Maybe I will train Tatum to be my monkey 

and comb my scalp looking for clear gray hairs.

And to be fully honest, cuz I always am with you and everyone
I meet, even in the line at the grocery store.....my hairdresser found 

a long clear gray hair in the back of my head one time!

It was probably because I begged her to see if she could find one, cuz

if I ever find them, they are at the top of my head.

I am gonna hire some kid that wants to make

side money, to search my head and pay them

50 cents per clear gray hair strand.

Here is my worst nightmare...

having a long clear gray hair that I am unaware about.

That others could see and notice and not tell me.

Or worse, if they grow near the front of my head/hairline

like Stacy London!

Seriously, why does she not color that,

and am I the only person who has ever wondered that?

This is making me a lil' nuts.

I have been a low-maintenance gal on 

the beauty scale and I might have to rethink

my whole mojo.

I'm the gal who leaves the house with wet 

hair and just a bit of concealer and blush...now I might have

to be a coiffed hairdo and full on makeup girl.

Seriously, isn't that what happens to 

dare I say the words.....Old Ladies?

And so they say...

I don't know what the story is....but I do know that

I am giving each and every one of you permission

that if you are ever around me and seek out a clear gray 

hair on my head....you can pluck it!

Pluck it fast, pluck it hard, and even without 

warning and I will be forever grateful.

Because you were there for me.....when I needed you most.

So NOT Stinkin' Cute!
