NO NO NO if you pluck them out then more of them grow (some people say 2 for each one you get rid of, some people say TEN :eek:)!!! I just cut them, 'course they'll grow back, but at least only in the same amount... :D

VIRGIL: now that's gratuituous cruelty, we know it very well. But my mum said she didn't go white that young so what's wrong with my DNA :D Maybe it's modern life, or stress, or pollution, but I refuse to have white hairs, to age and to grow up :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare:

I think that if this were true men going bald would just start pulling out their hair.

yes I'm prepared for that inevitability ;) . . . my dad and his mom both went gray quite early. but my mom (55) and her dad (80!) have barely any gray hair. I think I got my dad's hair genes though, alas.

Actually I got the same split between my mother's and father's side of the family. Unfortuantely I got my father's side of early grey. :bawling:

I've got lots of white hair, too. they grow in little nests with 5-20 of them huddling up. you can't really see them what with my mess of hair, but if you dig, you can find them. my best friend plucks them out for me.
they are about 3 times as thick as my normal hair :confused: :cold: are they mutants?

Thanks for the warning. I have heard of that and then asked my dermatologist and she said that this is not true ;) Not sure..but i don't see them (white hair) increasing in number ;)

Wow, all my fellow twenty-something lit netters seem to be going grey. Could it be the effects of too much reading? Too much lit. netting? I thought those whitish strands were just lighter bits of blonde, but now you have me wondering and holding bits of my hair up to the light. :lol: Clearly I need to sign off at this juncture and go back to work.

But sure, I'd have a tummy tuck if I needed it, my eyes lifted when the day comes, Botox, etc. I don't want to ever look like a plastic mannequin, but I do want to look "not wrinkled."

I'll admit it, I have veneers on my teeth, I get my hair colored to "enhance" it's depth, and I get glycolic peels. I'm in my thirties, so I use antiaging skin care products and don't sunbathe and don't smoke. I try to eat the right things and I sure do exercise a lot.

I would never get extensive lifting done, though. That just makes people look weird. I think we really need to change our views about aging in our society. I know some people in their fifties and sixties, in my hiking group, who feel like outcasts and really, they're in better shape than some twenty- and thirtysomethings.

hang on.. you're in your 30s? you're the lady in this pic, right? :eek: when I saw your pic I thought you were 19-ish :eek:

I don't want to look really old or gain a lot of weight, either. but I wouldn't mind a couple of wrinkles, seeing as they can make a face more interesting.

I have noticed in the last 6mths that my hair is a lot thinner than it used to be. Dont really care though, it is still thick enough to cover up the operation bald spot. Once that becomes visible I will start shaving it however....

Yes they're so thick they look like plastic! So I always try to think they're not real...

That photo is almost three years old, it will be this summer, so I was twenty-eight in the photo, and my husband twenty-seven. But yes, we're thirty-one and thirty now. We've never smoked, don't stay out late, sleep seven to eight hours a night, eat very healthy most of the time, exercise a lot, and meditate. Well, I meditate, my husband doesn't. We're both into good skin care, too. I have good genetics as well. My parents have always looked younger than they are.

See? Healthy living works! LOL Really, it does, but I think the good genetics play a big role.

Well indeed it all depends. I have the skin of a teenager, pimples included :lol: but my sleeping schedule has been crazy lately, I love junk food, don't refrain from a drink or two or three every now and then (England did that to me :lol:) ...etc. I recently had a temporary job and most people there looked to me like they were in their 30s. I then found out two of them were slightly older than me, and one even younger :sick: :eek: I looked at them closely and they had wrinkles! I think it's work (I've been mostly a student), or having kids.. or both. (not to mention the local lifestyle which is far more unhealthy than my native one, food and drink -wise...)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You're terrible!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I seriously wouldn't get any type of surgery unless it was for a serious reason. Falsifying yourself like that is saying to me that you don't like the way your parents, grandparents, etc. look...because that who you get or don't get it from.

I would like to hear from more people who WOULD and their reason's for why they would or have done it.

Actually isn't men shaving their faces and women shaving all the parts they shave :p a form of cosmetic surgery? :D And how about a hair cut? Isn't that surgery? :lol:
