I'm worried about my gray hair.

These days, every time I look in the mirror, I sigh. In the past, if I saw a gray hair or two, I'd laugh it off and say, "Oh, when did that happen?" But these days, I can feel it's gotten noticeably more, and it makes me feel a little uneasy. Even when I'm drying my hair, I see a shiny spot, and when I try to tie it up, I'm startled to see white patches here and there.

I don't really feel that old yet, but I don't understand why my gray hair is so honest. I wonder if I'm just too stressed, or maybe it's from lack of sleep. I feel like there are too many to pluck out, and I'm worried that dyeing it will damage my scalp. I've become more sensitive for no reason, and I'm becoming more concerned about even the smallest things.

When someone casually remarks, "You've got a few gray hairs," I know it's nothing serious, but it still stings. So these days, I'm trying to find shampoos that are good for the scalp and take supplements. It's a little funny how I'm so concerned about this, but I guess I still have a strong desire to look young. While I know time is inevitable, I keep wishing it would just slow down a little.
