Michelle Obama: 'Barack Cares Very Little About His Appearance,' Doesn't Dye His Hair

Comments (26)

Like many dads, Barack Obama doesn't spend hours in front of his closet every morning, mulling over which suit to wear. He's more concerned with getting to work on time and getting his job done. So why would he, after being salt and pepper for years, suddenly take a box of Just for Men to his spreading greys?

Funny what a little lighting will do to a man's hair color! Gossip blogs were stirring about a January 22, 2011 appearance of the President with what seemed to be a much darker head of hair. Everyone wondered: did he dye?

No, says his wife, Michelle Obama, who would probably know better than we would.


The FLOTUS told Matt Lauer of the 'Today Show' this morning,

"He's pretty grey...it's lighting. I think if he had known he would be president, he would have started dying his hair ten years ago."

In fact, Michelle claims that Barack is anything but vain. She says, jokingly,

"I wish he would focus more on a different color suit. A new shirt. Sasha and Malia and I cheer when he puts on a bright-colored shirt. We're like, 'yeah!' He cares very little about his appearance."

Hey, you have to do what works for you, right? Better to be focused on running the country than what color your suit is. Michelle is perfectly okay with her husband leaving all the trendsetting to her.
