Green Hair Disaster!

What to do if your blonde hair turns green from
swimming
"There's
more to life than hair... but it's a good place to start" –
The Aussie philosophy
I'm
sure all you blonde bombshells out there have been dubious about
submerging your beautiful golden locks into pool water, without a
little fear that you'll re-emerge with hair like the Joker...but
chances are you'll live another day with a goldilocks mane.
In
the past I've gone swimming a lot with bleached hair and had no
problems with colour distortion. I was a worried a
couple of years ago after I'd freshly dyed my hair a few days before
holidaying abroad and swimming in the pool daily. But again, nothing
went wrong. So, naturally I thought, what is everyone talking about?
Perhaps it's just platinum blonde hair that encounters this problem.
Unfortunately
not.
On
my recent holiday, I was in the pool for less than 20
minutes, washed my hair and made my way back to the hotel room. As I brushed my ombred hair, I noticed that
where I had bleached my ends they weren't blonde anymore... they were
BRIGHT GREEN. Now, don't get me wrong, if you want to dye your hair
green then great, go ahead, that's a decision you made. However, I
did not make this decision. I decided to dye my hair blonde NOT
green. Silly pool water! Anyway, naturally I cried haha as my hair
was very long and I liked the colour. I also didn't like the idea of getting most of my hair chopped to save the situation. So, I asked
shouted my boyfriend to Google remedies. After I washed my hair five times, he came in and suggested two home
remedies. Coke and tomato juice. We made a trip to the local
convenience store and bought both products.
I
started with the tomato juice. The tactic here is to submerge your
hair in the juice and let it soak for at least 15 minutes. I filled a
water bottle to the top, twisted my hair, and plonked it all in the
juice and left it. And YAY it worked! I couldn't believe it! There
was still a green tinge but it was so much better.
The
day after, I soaked my hair again and it was loads better, hardly
noticeable.
However,
because of all the washing and soaking it became quite dry. So I did
end up having a bit of a chop....

| after chop... |
I
intend on blonding it up again in the next week so hopefully that
goes well!
Sorry
I don't have any pictures to show how green the hair was... but I
wasn't in a good state of mind to be snapping selfies in a hair
disaster!
