> At age 61 I need to be on the job market again. I would like to look a little younger. While my hair is salt & pepper, my beard is all white. I will either dye my beard (and possibly my hair as well) or shave it off (the beard, not the hair). Anybody out there do this? Know someone who did? I like my beard & it is an important part of my self image, so I would like to keep it.

If you ever want to work again in the US then by all means dye it…if your hair is showing gray dye that too. However do not dye it black, die it a believable color.
