The original post here cited an increase in home hair coloring.

Note that in many large corporations (and some smaller ones) a "youthful appearance" is considered mandatory, especially for those seeking a new job. It's likely that more men are currently resorting to artificial coloring than women.

At my last assignment at Enormous Airplane Factory, I had a supervisor who had all the requirements for management there. He was (relatively) young. He was a little taller than average. And he had a very nice suit.

So far as I could determine, there were no other requirements for his job (unless facile lying and evading responsibility were actually a help to him - I never really could tell whether he was making any progress so those abilities may not have been of benefit).
