(14,779 posts)Prior to the 1980s, hair stylists would give senior citizens the option of what color they wanted their hair. Do to the decline in their eyesight, many senior citizens opt for blue hair for it looked blonde to them. In the 1980s Blue Hair was "big" then Senior Citizens learned that their hair was blue (no one wanted to insult grandma, so people for years did not tell them). The hair stylists would make comments among themselves, but like the rest of us, they did not want to insult grandma.
Once senior citizens learned about their eyesight and blue hair, they decided to either have a younger member of their family pick the color, or told the hair stylist what they wanted and that given their eyesight it was better for the hair stylist to pick the actual color. That killed off blue hair.
Thus I have NOT seen Blue Hair in 20 years, and I live in an area with three senior citizen apartment buildings.
