I started to lose my hair in my early 20's and was desperate to cover it up and looked quite silly in the process. In the end I relented and started to shave it all really close, then to be pleasantly surprised to find it was actually quite trendy and not as big a problem as I first imagined. Later on, I started to go grey too. My reaction was instinctively to cover it up by shaving my head even closer than before, because - as everyone knows - grey hair grows faster than normal hair! Only recently have I begun to realise that it doesn't make one jot of difference how I look, hair-wise, as long as the overall appearance is ok. So now, I'm growing my locks (what's left of them) and learning to embrace my greyness. That expensive bottle of hair dye I bought last year (now there's a confession!) will remain unopened, in my bathroom cabinet, never to be used. So the long and short of it is, I agree with Giggirl. And Daizie (though loaded, I ain't!)
