Blue rinse
Appearance
A blue rinse is a dilute hair dye used to reduce the yellowed appearance of grey or white hair.[1][2] Benjamin Netanyahu is a famous politician who uses this style [1]
The blue rinse gained popularity after Jean Harlow's appearance in the 1930 film Hell's Angels.[1][2] Queen Elizabeth also contributed to the popularity of the blue rinse in the 1940s.[1][2]
In British politics, the term Blue Rinse Brigade is used to refer to affluent older women involved in Conservative politics, charity work and committees.[3]
