A woman I worked with and deeply respect retired some time back and told me she dyed her hair because of general age discrimination at the workplace. she’s in her 60s. I ran into her at the mall with gray hair and the topic came up presumably because she felt she had to explain herself. It made me feel sad to see what older people have to deal with and what age discrimination I will face in the future. Why does it happen? It also made me realize why people dye their gray hair and it’s not because of vain reasons
