(1) Swimming - Your hair is like a sponge.. when you get into the pool and dip your head into the water it soaks up the chlorine and over time ends up giving your hair a green cast. If your hair is blonde you will, most defenitaly have green hair.
(a.) Solution - if your hair is already green use Paul Mitchells shampoo 3 it removes all of the chlorine and impurities keeping the hair healthy and moisturized
- to keep the green from coming back, wet your hair with fresh water and conditioner in your sink, shower or use a water bottle.. if you use a water bottle put conditioner in it when using the sink or shower apply a small amount of conditioner after wetting it.. this will put a barrier on the hair not allowing anything else to soak up
(2) Hair Color - from home color to over-processed hair, if you have blond hair do not color your hair without seeing your stylist first.. it can turn green if you have over-processed hair.. it will be very dry, brittle and resemble cotton candy (NOT GOOD!)
(b.) Solution - I always recommend that you see your stylist in these situations
(3) Hard (Well) Water - with the high amount of copper or nickel in your hard water, you're bound to get a copper or a green tint
(c.) Solution If you can, get a softener, if that's not possible there are filters for the shower head at reasonable prices or purple/blue shampoo for blondes and grey tone hair
