Good you have hair left to dye. Mine fell out years ago. I keep it in a
bag and look at it from time to time.
At least I keep what remains buzzed, unlike a few of my male friends who
have bad comb-overs or wear party hats (wigs or toupees).

Subject: RE: Job market and potential age discrimination?
With apologies to CSN&Y:
Almost dyed my hair
Job hunting just the other day
It's gettin kinda gray
Can't pretend it's not in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my AARP flag fly
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone
My strategy for growing old in a young-person's industry is to make sure
I'm not still "just" a TW when I leave my current employer. I'm a year away
from finishing my MBA. And, yes, I'll probably dye my hair <smile>.
