Getting Rid Of Green Hair

What causes my hair to turn green ?

There are 3 major causes of "green hair"

(1) swimming
(2) hair color
(3) hard (well) water

Continue reading to see the "why" and "solution" to the mystery behind green hair...

(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 blond you will have green hair.

(a.) Solution
- if your hair is already green use Paul Mitchells shampoo 3... it removes 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 little 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.. if 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 seeing 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 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 (like shimmer lights at Sally's)

Now that you have some information on what causes green hair and how to handle it, you can relax and know what to do the next time it happens to you or someone you know.

As a stylist, it is important to note that it is always again best to see your stylist in the event you're interested in trying something new with your hair. If you are experimenting, see your stylist.. if you have questions see your stylist.
