CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich's famously thick, dark hair is dyed and will turn gray within months as he serves his 14-year sentence in a Colorado prison, where dyes are strictly banned, the former Illinois governor's longtime barber said Wednesday.

Peter Vodovoz, Blagojevich's Chicago-area barber for more than two decades, told The Associated Press that the 55-year-old ex-governor has dyed his hair for years and that his last dye will fade within three months.

"His hair will turn gray, like (talk show host) Jay Leno's," Vodovoz said, speaking a week after Blagojevich entered federal prison to serve his sentence on corruption charges.
