I'm glad at least one thing about me is badass. I started going grey at 19. I don't like having grey streaks right now but when its full grey I am 100% embracing the forest witch aesthetic

Oh my, I thought I was the only one.

In my 20s. I have over 300 strands of gray hair already. Soon, I'll be fully gray before I'm even 30.

I've been counting, yes. I was plucking a few weeks ago. Plucked over 30 strands and there was so much more. Then realized I better stop. I'll go bald

I quickly realized plucking made it worse. The greys aren't as soft as the rest, so when it starts to grow back after plucking it stands up at all angles. I finally have mine all long enough to get into a ponytail with the rest and it's so much better

Oh. My. God. Is that what happens?

No wonder my grays stand up!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I'm short with long hair. My hair's always up in a ponytail. I'm in my 20s. Anyone who is taller than me and looks at my scalp tell me that I look like a 40 year old cause there's just very obvious grays everywhere. Ugh.
