What's an 'old blue hair' and how not to become one?!

An 'old blue hair' is the little old lady you see at the grocery store, in church or the casino with elastic waist pants, a floral blouse, coat sweater and blue hair! Quick, look in the mirror. Have you become one? Is your hair blue maybe even purple? Take another look...

I'm asking because it's not just little old ladies that get the blue hair sydrome. It's anyone who's lost their base hair color and have since botched the job of turning what was left, back into sexy tresses. How? By attempting to alter a mixture of grey, white and yellow hair back to their original color of choice and youth without consultation. 

...and yes, I did say yellow hair (much like old man beard). As if it's not bad enough to get grey hair it also turns yellow due to enviromental issues like pollution and smoking.

So, while most blue hairs prefer their natural color they are simply guilty of ignoring professionals and using store bought color rinses improperly and far too often. A bum deal thanks to heredity and cheapness? So, unless you are Emo, edgy or rebellious, it's Halloween, your name is Marg Simpson or you're an Anime please ask a stylist for help...questions are free ;)

...and when you see your next blue hair actin' like they've got it goin' on. remember, it could be you oneday thinking you look like a hot, silver fox (eyesight and perception depletes with age)! Do you want to be the one to burst their bubble?

Tips for 'normal' looking hair ...

- do not use colored rinses and dyes without consultation.
- use a clarifying shampoo to fight product residue and enviromental build up on your hair.
- use hairsprays, gels and creams that stay clear and add shine without color.
- if your hair looks yellow to you, but your friends and the stylist swear it's bright white, believe them!
