Obama's Hairdresser Quashes “greying” Concerns on President-elect

Barack Obama doesn’t seem to be hassled by his prematurely greying hair, and nor does his faithful barber. The president-elect’s long-serving hairdresser in Chicago has quashed all media speculation on the “greying” issue; the two of them simply don’t care!
