My grey hair : Aug-09

Running within the Koh family, is our characteristic of having grey hair. The funny thing about this family gene is that only the male family members will have the 'good fortune' to inherit it.

And so, 4 hair cuts after my last dye, i was able to reveal all my grey hair i have. My recent decision in not dyeing my hair stirred many interesting responses among friends and family. Some have asked me why i had chosen to look so old when i'm not; some have admired my 'ash' color hair; some just stared so long at my hair before they asked "what happened?"; some like the 'fashion'; some encouraged me for not using the dye chemical; my hair-dresser commented "i doubt you could endure this for long", and another hair-dresser friend even seems very keen to immediately 'soaked' my head into pail of color.

Anyway, i feel fun about this little initiative because i am able to observe the variety of perspectives people could have over a single thing. To me, dyeing back my hair is just an hour job and i could do almost anytime i like, but to be able to observe so many responses? Like mastercard says, "Priceless".
