I personally find grey hair really attractive and distinguished on some people. I guess it depends on his gray pattern and how aged his face is. If he walks in with ebony hair and an older face, looking younger won't be any easier to pull off.

It's his call, really. It's tough to say.

Good Luck! My opinion on the hair color is that unless he is comfortable dying his hair and knows it will look natural -- don't do it. It could bring up a whole new set of worries, such as "What if they notice that I've dyed my hair?" Besides, some people gray prematurely and it is probably more culturally acceptable for men to leave it that way than dye it. Tell him to look young by getting a good night's sleep and being energetic :).

Natural is better. Gray actually denotes maturity, and they aren't hiring his HAIR.. they are hiring HIM. A bad dye job, on the other hand, draws unwanted attention. If he's concerned about his hair, I would try a younger looking cut vs a dye job.

I make my boyfriend dye his.

LOTS of men dye their hair to cover grays (even my dad and he's 55.) It's no big deal at all. There are box dyes you can do at home, or if he's really worried about it, he should head in to a salon for a professional job.

I think it's sad that this even needs to be questioned... My mom thinks I'm crazy for not wearing make-up to an interview, but if that's the only thing the interviewer cares about then I don't want to work there.

I can see how it's a bit different for greying hair since grey hair generally = older, but it could also mean more experienced? I wish that these things wouldn't be problems when it comes to interviews, but I remember when I couldn't get a job at my college because I was in my senior year and they wanted a freshman or sophomore.
