Moscow (ANTARA News/RIA Novosti-OANA) - U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama has dismissed rumors that her husband dyed his hair, NBC TV said on Wednesday.

When Matt Lauer, anchor of the Today show, asked why President Barack Obama seemed to have patches of grey hair in some photos but not others, she said it was down to "lighting".

Michelle Obama said it was too late for her husband to start using hair coloring. She said that if he had known that he would become president, he would have started dying his hair long time ago.

Obama "cares very little about his appearance," Michelle said, adding that she and her daughters "cheer when he puts on a bright-colored shirt." (*)
