Parecía pelo empolvado a estilo Pompadour, y como lo tenía tan rizoso y tan bien partido sobre la frente, muchos sostenían que ni allí había canas ni Cristo que lo fundó.

It looked like powdered hair in the Pompadour style, and as it was so curly and so well parted over her forehead, many maintained that no grey hairs could be found there.

You'll have to choose between "there were no grey hairs to be found there". and "maintained that no grey hairs could be found there." :-)

Yes. A- Locución utilizada para negar algo rotundamente.
A- La expresión NI CRISTO QUE LO FUNDÓ, así como su sinónima NI DIOS QUE LO FUNDÓ (o NI EL DIOS), es fórmula usada para enfatizar fuertemente una negación previa.
Translated literally it doesn't mean much does it?
Just ... that there were absolutely no grey hairs there. / that there was not a single grey hair to be found there. ?
