blue rinse
Granny's hair treatment
Blue rinse is a temporary hair coloring with a bluish or violet tint, traditionally used by older women to brighten gray or white hair and counteract yellowing.
By extension, blue-rinse describes settings associated with elderly women: a blue-rinse crowd, blue-rinse brigade.
The term often carries a faintly dismissive tone.
