Great question!
I'm 57 now and a few years ago I decided to let my hair go gray.
Now, I have always worked in the corporate world (accounts receivable/collections, etc.) and worried it might not be a good move. But so far it has been fine.
However, I will be making some major life/work changes in the upcoming year and am wondering whether I should go back to coloring my hair. Only for the reason of "fitting in" in corporate culture.
I myself have gotten used to its "grayness" so it's not really something I want to do (and definitely not those every 3 week touch-ups!) but I figure I'll do what I have to in order to still be "interview-worthy".
I definitely believe it's the attitude you portray that deems whether one is considered "old" or not. I certainly have met 25 year olds who have an 80-year-old mentality and vice versa. So I certainly plan on keeping my 7-year-old self front and center!
But what to do about the hair.....
