How to prevent a blonde from turning green in the pool: 3 proven folk remedies

She dove in the pool like a platinum blonde, and came out already like some kind of green water? Do not panic!

First, it is simply the result of a chemical reaction between the clarifier and the chlorine in the pool (and it can also be in tap water). The presence of copper in the water can also make the situation worse. When copper and chlorine are mixed, they form a film that “sticks” to the hair, which eventually causes a color change. The effect is well known to you from copper statues or coins.

Second, there are several life hacks that will help minimize these consequences. One of them is very simple: do not enter the water with dry hair. If the hair is already damp, the copper-chlorine mixture will not “cling” to it so firmly. And, of course, don’t forget to wash your hair as soon as possible after swimming.

If the hair is already green, a few home remedies will save.

It might sound a bit unusual, but ketchup can do wonders for the green tint in your hair. Apply it as a mask before washing and leave it on for 30 minutes, preferably with a shower cap and a towel wrapped around your head. Instead of ketchup, you can also use tomato juice: rinse your hair with it and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes.

It can also be used to neutralize greenish hair (and smells better). Also apply it before washing, but since lemon juice is acidic, you should not use this SOS product too often so as not to damage your hair.

Another home remedy that most people always have at home is baking soda or baking powder. Mix the contents of one sachet with water to obtain a creamy paste. Apply it to your hair and leave it on for about a quarter of an hour. Then rinse thoroughly and wash your hair as usual.
