    Needless to say, I'm reluctant to dye it again!
    Took you cautionary advice on board, didn't dye my hair, had a permie interview this morning with grey hair. Turns out they wanted someone to take on a team lead role so the grey hair may work in my favour.., have to wait and see...

    Good luck!

    They can look terrible.

    Best to go to a hairdresser to get your hair dyed the first time.

    I said blond Yeah, white undies too. Maybe those yellow sunshades?

    Do that and the contract world will be your lobster.

    Depends on what you do. Some roles looking older is a benefit, other roles looking younger is a benefit.

    If you think that it's your grey hair then dye it. However dying hair and keeping it up is a hassle......

    ..nice manicure and firm handshake.

    Nah, don't dye your hair. Wasn't meant to be perhaps, it's just hard to feel your confidence ebbing away I guess. Chin up
