"Treating Hair Loss and Premature Grey Hair" 2009. In a nutshell, this piece discussed the statistics of balding and premature grey hair found in men and women.

Since when did going grey become a negative thing? I remember a time when we looked up to the elders who proudly exhibited their grey manes. These manes signified the type of wisdom only attainable through age & experience. Maybe the reason why we are so quick to conceal our signs of aging such as balding and grey hairs is because they are reminders of our youthfulness slowly slipping out of our grasp, leaving us to take what has become the walk-of-shame into old age.
