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] Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu uses the 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]
