Okay, I'm blaming this on the whole "kid goes off to college" thing!

<p>My eyebrows are turning silver. </p>

<p>Obviously, the stress of dealing with the whole ramp up to college attendance is to blame!!</p>

<p>Harumph!!!</p>

<p>I’m with you on this! Mine turned very white last year as we prepared for D to go. As we lived through freshman yr, I noticed that the chin hair I normally tweeze was also turning white. Also noticed that I needed to color my head more often because the growth increased. </p>

<p>I’m waiting for the nose hairs and the ear hairs to go-EEEEEEEW</p>

<p>Sorry folks…it’s God’s way of helping us realize it’s TIME for our kids to leave the nest:)</p>

<p>I’ve had silver hair sprinkled through my dark hair for years now. I don’t color it. I blame it on living with three incorrigable males all these years. </p>

<p>My eyebrows are not silver but seem to be much thinner than they used to be.
I keep imaging myself looking like the little old ladies at church with crayoned eyebrows.</p>

<p>My husband is starting to go silver at the temples, but he’s 33, so maybe it’s God’s way of helping us realize it’s TIME for us to actually <em>conceive</em> some children…!</p>

<p>(I think it makes him look really cute.)</p>

<p>owlice-
You’ve had enough stress for 10 people. Maybe the silver is an award! Like a badge of honor. Too bad it isnt sterling…</p>

<p>I have noticed that the silver eyebrow hairs are rogue hairs, that will grow an inch long or more if left on their own. It makes me think of those old guy profs in college who had eyebrows that looked like some huge hairy caterpillars. But I didn’t know women were at risk!</p>

<p>Hey! I use those crayon things! I’m not about to go and get eyebrows tattooed on! No grey yet, lucky me!</p>

<p>jym, thanks! I’m kind of glad they are going silver rather than gray (if they have to go some color!), not that there’s anything wrong with gray, mind you, but the hairs on my head that have turned have gone silver, so it looks like I’ll have a matching set eventually. (But really… silver eyebrow hairs already?! Sheesh!!!) The silver hairs I have are not very noticeable yet because of my light hair color, but they are getting there, they are getting there! </p>

<p>pipmon, what is with chin hair, anyway? The ones I tweeze are black! Black!! Unbelievable, and yet, there they are!</p>

<p>bugmom, iiiiiiieeeeee!!! Rogue eyebrow hairs!!</p>
