Unfortunately the grey wiry stuff comes out of your face too!

My head hair isn't wiry - but those 'Desperate Dan' hairs on the chin are a b*gger . Is it just me, or do they spontaneously erupt during an important meeting?

You sit there attempting to be interested/interesting/vivacious, then come out and there's a DD hair half an inch long waving at you :-S

I have my hair cut and dyed every 3 months with a cut in between. My daughter always says she can't see any difference from my original colour and that is good. I just want to cover the patchy grey..

I started off with hilights and now I have 'creative colour' which is highlights plus an all over dye so it doesn't look to densely coloured. Its expensive but I spend very little on myself. I have a good hairdresser who gives a lovely cut but I must say its never smart looking because I haven't the patience for too much blow drying. At present the colour is a good balance with my skin tone.

I remember when I was much younger having a different colour every month just for a change.

What peeves me is my eyelashes are disappearing at a rate of knots and the DD hair sprouts overnight :-(

I get pink streaks now and again.

I'm wondering if I'll end up like one of my grannies, with BLUE hair! My aunt told granny that she looked like a budgie. Granny didn't speak to her for weeks lol

I accuse my mother of being part of the blue rinse brigade, it annoys the hell out of her as she has never tried anything on her hair but has a definite blue hue :-D

Don't talk to me about chin hair. I was hair free for years after years of electrolysis and now its started up again. I think its got worse since I stopped taking HRT. You think there is nothing there then the sun shines.

I thought the black DD hairs were bad enough - butover the past year they're coming through white.
The white ones are impossible to see, what with failing eyesight, and those bl**dy energy saving bulbs. I can feel them, but can't see them. End up randomly plucking my chin in the hope of catching them :-S

Well, I am rather proud of myself for getting to my age, and have never shaved my legs 'cause I have never had any hairs on them.
So there.
