(from CNN).Although Mitt Romney is out of the race, his hair received considerable play during his campaign. Numerous commentators noted that his hair was black enough to appear young yet white enough to show a little age (which conveys the aura of wisdom). Consider the following comments on Romney's hair:
- Based upon documents secretly obtained from the Romney campaign, staffers expressed concern that "his hair looks too perfect" (Boston Globe)

Romney's black hair natural (from Boston Globe)
The former governor of Massachusetts laid to rest on Friday any rumors that he dyes his hair black. His sleek dark coif, with just a hint of gray on his sideburns, is completely natural, he told reporters following a fundraiser in Milwaukee.
"I don't dye it. I don't color it and you can take a real close camera shot and see there's a lot of gray mixed in with all that black," said a laughing Romney.
Earlier this month Romney turned 60, an age when many men are forced to decide between coloring their hair or living gray.
Though Romney hasn't had to think about that just yet -- or so he says -- his campaign advisers worry that his hair is too perfect, according to an internal campaign document that recently surfaced in the media.
Romney is trailing in polls behind two older, hair-challenged candidates -- former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is mostly bald, and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, whose hair is white.
