White Hair is a Bane

• This blog post is about the subject "White Hair is a Bane"
• Bane is just the right word to describe white hair.
• In a sense this post is continuation of my earlier post as below:
• Natural-state-of-hair-and-beard
• I know I had concluded the topic in the fourth post.
• Now two months passed since I stopped cutting my hair and started shaving.
• What happened one fine morning (4 days back) I saw white hair on both sides of head in the region above the ears.
• I guess white hair is caused by lack or loss of melanin

• So I realised that white hair is part of ageing process.
• White hair shows that your time on earth is getting over.
• Soon you are going to be "gone case".
• It means your time of enjoyment is limited.
• Hindi songs also tell us like one Salman Khan movie song "Jeene ke hai char din, baki hai bekaar din". Means you got only few days to "live life to the fullest", balance days of life are "wasted days".
• Earlier also I have recommended (in my earlier posts) not to shave but trim your beard and moustache, but the fact whether it is right hits you when you see that white hair is flowing out of your facial hair (mainly beard).
• In my case when in 2013 I stopped shaving for several days at a stretch I did not have white hair on my beard ( at least not as much as now) and I was 37 then but in 2019 and onwards I am finding white hair when I am 42.
• When you see white hair flowing out of your beard you have no option but to apply colour to make it black.
• Beard is a small area to apply colour but when white hair stars showing on your head your area to apply colour increases massively.
• Then what do you do.
• I will tell my case.
• When I saw white hair on my left and right side of the head, I just lost it.
• I removed my Moser hair trimmer and removed the tuft of hair near my ears.
• Then it became somewhat annoying.
• It like when you remove the moustache and keep the beard or trim certain portion of the beard and keep the rest.
• You miss those parts which you lost and then you may not be able to restore it even in a week as that stuff takes time to grow.
• So you do the next best thing and clip it all away.
• And think next time we would see what is to be done.
• And if you see the white hair on your beard, the best thing is to shave it off.
• Because in order to trim it it has to grow at least 2-3 mm and then the white hair shows clearly.
• And there is no use to apply colour to such small beard.
• If you want to apply colour to your beardyou need to grow it at least 5mm and beyond.
• Now with hair on the head it becomes infinitely more complex.
• In fact I will say that being bald is better than showing white hair.
• Certainly now I feel like this.
• White hair is a curse and it shows that human is very meek in front of God.
• White hair shows that human has an "expiry date" written on him the moment he is born.
• And being bald is better than white hair. Or having tiny hair is better than showing "long white hair".
• And for beard, being clean shaven saves you the work of applying colour to your beard.
• But to shave you need to shave daily else it is not worth it.
