A blue hair American noun phrase
The noun phrase "a candy cotton hair (hairstyle)" can be replaced by the one "a blue hair" with the meaning that refers to a dyed-blue hair.
Used to imply a woman who is old

Used to describe a dyed-blue hair

To ask someone something in a very straight, direct way, sometimes even a rude way
A blue hair seems to be fit your face better.

This term was used first in the US in the 1940s. A parallel term popped up in the UK in the 1950s: “the blue-rinse brigade.” This term specifically referred to elderly women whose out-of-date hairstyles were thought to reflect out-of-touch, conservative values.
Do you see anything wrong?
