Like everyone else on the planet, I’m getting old. My hair started to go white about 10 years ago. Unlike normal people, mine went white in a 1 1/2 inch stripe above my right temple. I used to joke that if this was a Disney universe I’d be evil, and if it was a Super Hero universe I’d have superpowers. Society tells middle-aged women that if their hair turns gray they should dye it, so I did. I dyed it bright blue.
