Canuco

A Dominican term for a person with gray hair, whether they are young or old. It is typically used for a salt and pepper look where gray and natural hair are mixed, though it can also describe someone whose hair is fully gray (Dominican Republic).

He went Canuco before his time: he started getting gray hair before reaching old age.

Negro Eterno

A brand of hair dye popular during the mid-20th century that was also a potent poison (in the Dominican Republic, it was notoriously used as a method for suicide).

If you put on Negro Eterno, do not go out in the street when it is raining, because otherwise it will run down to your mouth and poison you.
