Question by snicker doodles: The dreaded “chlorine green” hair. Will it ever come out?
Well, I went swimming three days ago and I have natural medium blonde hair. After I got out of the pool, I noticed my hair had turn a bright green. I didn’t panic at first, because this happened to me quite often when I was a little girl and always came out when I washed my hair. When I got home and washed my hair, it was still in my hair. So I went to the drug store and bought “Ultra Swim”. It didn’t work. So the next day I went to the salon and bought “Paul Mitchel 3” which specializes in removing the chlorine. It worked slightly leaving me with what looked like green highlights. So I went to the salon and got something called “a malibu treatment” It took most of the green out but some of my ends still have a greenish tint. My question is, will the green ever fully come out, or am I doomed to have green tinted ends for the rest of my life? (and cutting my hair is not an option!)

It will eventually come out. Try the L’Oreal kids swim and sports shampoo. It worked for us. Also prevention is better than trying to fix it later. Just keep using your anti-chlorine shampoo. You could also try counter-dying it, which is where you make a mild dye from the opposite side or the color wheel to counteract the color. Like green and red, purple and yellow, or orange and blue. But I wouldn’t recommend it it might make it worse. If you want to give it a shot try a slightly watered down Kool-aid. Best case scenario, you’ll end up with sandy colored tips instead of green.
