Officially old

I'm preclined to having white hair like my dad and I've noticed that I've had quite a few since my mid-20's. A guy at Jersey Mike's last year commented while I was next to him in line, "Oh, I was going to complement you on your highlights, and it turns out they're white [hairs]. That's really cool!" I took it as a positive, at least it grows in streaks.

Then this hazy Saturday morning, the man of my life gazed at me, and then looked me over. "Whoa, you have a lot of white hairs!" and proceeded to preen through the rest of my head and proclaimed "they're all over the place!" Helpfully, he notes that because they're white already, I just have to dye it some other color, and then the colors will really show off. Thanks for the help.


August 2011 Update:
Got a Groupon for cut and color, so got my hair dyed warm chestnut color at Sweet Lily Salon by B. It was a nice change to have the color, not much happened cut-wise. Since my hair's grown about a month since and there's almost an inch worth of roots, I can see the contrast of how the dye colored my white hairs, but also browned the dark black. Good FYI if anyone's trying to keep their hair black.
