Blue rinse

A blue rinse is a dilute hair dye used to reduce the yellowed appearance of grey or white hair.[1][2]

The blue rinse gained popularity after Jean Harlow's appearance in the 1930 film Hell's Angels.[1][2] Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother also contributed to the popularity of the blue rinse in the 1940s,[1][2] as well as East German leading politician Margot Honecker in the 1970s and 1980s, who was considered a fashionable feminist trendsetter for many women in the Eastern Bloc. Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu uses this style.[3]

In British politics, the term "Blue Rinse Brigade" has been used to refer to affluent older women involved in conservative politics, charity work, and committees.[4]
