What is tiene el pelo canoso y es vieja?

This phrase describes someone who has gray hair and is old. It is a bit blunt and could be considered rude.

Here are some ways to rephrase it depending on the context:

More polite and respectful:

* Tiene el pelo blanco y es mayor. (Has white hair and is older)

* Es una persona de edad avanzada con canas. (Is an elderly person with gray hair)

* Su cabello está encanecido por los años. (Her hair is grayed by the years.)

More descriptive and nuanced:

* Tiene un cabello plateado y una sabiduría que viene con la experiencia. (Has silver hair and wisdom that comes with experience.)

* Sus años le han dado un aspecto distinguido. (Her years have given her a distinguished appearance.)

It's important to be mindful of the language we use when talking about people's age and appearance.
