"I'm gonna wash that gray right out of my hair"


Upon having a discussion and taking an unofficial poll at the workshop this morning, it was decided by the majority, that women may have a better chance at getting a job if they look younger. We already have the age discrimination factor against us, so don't add to it by looking older than you are.

Some of the comments: "Gray will date you;" "Perhaps if you were trying to sell a unit in a retirement village, gray might help you;" and "Do everything possible to look as young and vibrant as possible during your job search."

As we all know, though, men are treated differently. Men with gray hair are viewed as distinguished, mature and handsome!

What a great article. Learned a lot. I'm going out to get the Crest White strips today!

Here is a fun read that only people that are actually considering whether to "wash the gray out" will appreciate to the full extent possible.

I will have to admit that I owned/used a very high percentage of the products mentioned.
