    Source: my entire beard went grey/white by my early 30s.

    Yup that’s kinda what happened to me too. I had dark brown hair as a young kid, it really suited my colouring, then bam, traumatic shit starts happening and I lose a whole bunch of pigment.

    And to add insult to injury, I didn’t even get that badass looking ‘hair turned completely white from fear’, just this ugly and weirdly warm blondy looking colour that makes me look all washed out and kinda jaundiced.

    Oh and then when the facial hair started growing in, every other one of those gross thick hairs was unpigmented and clear, and every other hair between those clear hairs was pitch black, because fuck me right? Lmao.

      Damn, that sucks! I’m sorry. At least if half the facial hair is thick and black, you can get that with laser, which will probably still be quicker and cheaper than electrolysis, but I appreciate that’s only really a bright side after the fact and not before the fact.

      Also, I like your display name.

        Ah sorry, it’s been a weird day so far and I was just letting off steam by ranting about unrelated shit. None of that is really stuff that bothers me much any more and I’ve had tonnes of electrolysis over the years which got most of the facial hair, so I’m good in that regard too.

        Thankies for the compliment, cat emoticons are the best /ᐠ > ˕ <マ ₊˚⊹♡
