Cremated history

For most of my grandfather's life he was obsessed with perfecting his hair. Every Friday morning around 7 he would be coloring his grey hair with black paint that he called "kolop". He wanted to preserve time more than his dark asian hair itself. It really makes one wonder how upset he'd be to know his precious hair will now be grey forever.
