I was in the car (in the passenger seat, ofc), on my way to the train station several months ago when I saw it: my first baby grey hair. At 33 and with no family history of going grey young(ish), I was totally caught off guard and thrown into panic mode. Did this mean I was going fully grey now? How did I feel about this? Would I have to start dyeing my hair differently? Or should I embrace it and start reaching for the purple shampoo?
Turns out, I didn't really need to worry. In fact, the odd tiny grey (this one was very short) doesn't necessarily mean you're heading toward all-over silver locks at a million miles per hour. They're pretty common, actually, particularly for those who experience plenty of stress like me, and I actually haven't seen one since.
