Worrying Up a Silver Streak

If you keep worrying so much about what to worry about, you might wind up with a whole head of silver.

Here's a little song, I wrote
I might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
Every life we has some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
(Don't worry, be happy yeah)
Uh uh uh uh don't worry be happy
I arco place who lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
Hey may have to lit the gate
Don't worry, be happy (look at me I'm happy)
Uh uh;,don't worry, be happy
(I give you my phone no.
When you worried call me
I make you happy) oh;
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
In gumble gull to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
Coz when you worry your face will frown
In that will bring everybody damn
So don't worry, be happy;
Now then, this song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
(Like good to children) don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say in your life inspect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy;

Bandylu, I wouldn't mind a whole head of silver.

Joanne, Worrying for me is genetic. I'm going to do it anyway, so I might as well but it to good use.

Roberta- "Don't worry, be happy", and get yourself a hairdresser who is adept at color!

Hi Roberta
I also am getting a few gray hairs here and there, but if worrying caused gray hair, every hair on my body would be gray, lol. I was born to worry, yet at almost 39 I barely have any gray at all. I think it's genetic since my grandmother who died at 97 had very few gray hairs. My father didn't have much gray either and I was blessed with his hair. On the other hand, my mother went gray very young along with my brother who has the same hair as she does.

This reminds me of a funny story about a conversation I had with one of my best friends years ago. My friend who is 10 years older than I were out on the town one night and somehow our conversation shifted to hair. She already was half gray and colored her hair, but I still had no gray at all (about 8 years ago) and she started talking about how she was going gray in other places, "if you know what I mean". Well, I was shocked! I had never even thought of that. I said " you mean you get gray there too?" and she got a good laugh at my surprise. I guess you had to be there to see the look on my face, but it was funny

Worry?
How fast your hair turns grey depends on your genetics. Many people , never grey at all.

Others, grey at age 25 years. Look at your parents, and you'll see yourself down the road.

At 63, I am just starting to get a tiny bit of grey on the side. My mom, who is 93, has all white hair framing her face, but the back is pepper-salt, still with quite a bit of dark in it.. I should be so lucky. Her hair is gorgeous.

Hair
Many men and even many women tend to lose hair, besides getting grey hair.

I've had grey hair (partly) since I was about 27 or so - my brother was even younger when he started going grey. Now I color my hair but the roots are only partly grey and partly brown (yeah, the honey blonde is fake); my brother is all-grey and pretty distinguished-looking. Keep in mind I'm 40 and he's 43.

But - neither of us are wrinkled, yet I've known folks younger than me with a lot of wrinkles. Then again, we both stay out of the sun and neither of us smoke.

Your diet will also affect the texture of your skin.

How many over-weight women have wrinkled skin?

Yes, I realize that graying hair and wrinkling is largely genetic. I'm in my midfifties. Those few silver strands are fine with me.

But I want a streak. A Silver Streak. How can I get one without the use of chemicals? I'm guessing I can't.

Does it have to be natural if you know what I mean?

I'd prefer natural. Don't want to put chemicals on my head.

Well then we will have to do some more worrying can I send my worries to you? I have plenty to spare.

I'd have settled for gray hair, as opposed to my current headwise lack of same. The only thing I ever found to keep my hair in ... was a little box.

Oh, well, hurryin' 'n' worryin' only hasten yer buryin'.

Hi Roberta!!

I have a white streak on my left upper forehead, but as my hair continues to turn white, it is less apparent; plus, my hair is blond which lessens the dramatic effect.

Since I am an all purpose worrier, I don't have any suggestions for you. If I had just recently gone white, I would blame the Bush administration, but most of it happened before the Shrub.

Jespah, you dye your hair? That gorgeous honey blond isn't natural? I'm so dissillusioned.

I'd worry if I ran out of hair colour. I've been colouring my hair longer than I haven't. I started colouring it long before my hair started going grey. If all of my hair would be snow-puff white like my mother and her mother, I'd probably let it go all the way.

I found the first grey hairs when I was 17 (my father was totally grey by the age of 30). I left it alone throughout my 20s and 30s because it looked like it was streaked and people admired the colour job! When I reached 40 and my face began to show a few lines, I decided it was time to colour it.

I know it's genetic, but I know, too, that when I was 29 I was hospitalized for a month with a serious illness and when I returned home I had noticeably more white hair than when I went into hospital.

The thing I have noticed about my greys is that they have a mind of there own. There are not very many but they are thick and curly, yikes.
