Question for the blondes

When I was younger, every summer my hair turned green from the chlorine in the the pool. I swam nearly every day. It didn't matter that I washed my hair every day, it still turned green. Sometimes, VERY green.

My question is, if you have any dye, highlights, etc. on naturally blonde hair, will the hair still turn green?

Yes, the chlorine will cause a reaction.

They do, however, sell shampoos which prevent the green. The only thing is you need to wash your hair as soon as possible after being in the pool.

I believe the dyed hair turns even more so..
Like Kris said.. they have shampoos and products to prevent it from going green. Try leaving in a layer of conditioner in your hair before you swim to protect it

:nono: I'm allergic to ketchup
Please explain the excedrin. I know I'm blonde, but I'm pretty sure I don't take it orally to get the green out.

Oops, sorry. Ketchup, don't use obviously. :lol:

The excedrin is what I have on hand...if you crush it up and add a bit of water...put it on your hair it will take the green out completely. (generic works well too.)

Buy the cheapest aspirin you can find...uncoated works best and costs the least. Put about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of aspirin tablets in a large container of water. It will dissolve immediately. Put the dissolved aspirin in the hair and work it in

And I thought excedrin was only good for headaches. I'll have to remember this, I usually have a giant bottle of excedrin on hand since that's the only thing that works for my migranes.

I heard that Pantene Pro-V works the best to get chlorine out of hair. My friend gets her hair permed and has blonde hair, she uses this. Works great on her.

Green? I don't remember my hair ever turning green. When I was little my hair was almost white. It never happened to me. :shrug:
