Why did the Pool Turn my Hair Green?

You have heard the story or maybe you have experienced it yourself. You swim in a pool and you come out with green hair. This is more often seen in blond hair, but when it happens there are some steps that can be taken to ensure it does not happened to anyone else. Too high Chlorine or not balanced pH levels are often to blame, but that is not the case. Copper is the real culprit. High Copper in the water will usually oxidize with the addition of a lot of chlorine to the swimming pool. The copper will then turn a green color and cling to your hair. If you never shock your pool or keep your pH levels in complete control then you will not have green hair, but as soon as you start to increase other levels the results due to high copper in the water will turn your hair green again. So please click How to remove red, green, or purple from your pool.

If you do have copper in your pool you must use Super Rust and Scale Remover

How do I remove Green color from my hair?
There are several suggestions giving to Inyo each year. The majority of our customers have left feedback that they used a Tomatoes based juice, sauce, or soup that worked. Tomatoes juice would actually act as a neutralizer with the chlorine and help cause the copper to turn white. This is just a theory we have read about and heard back from our customers. Inyo employees have not actually turned their hair green and tried the tomatoes theory. Stylist may be mad at us on this Tomatoes suggestion, so for them we have another suggestion. A couple of people have told us that Prell shampoo has worked. There are also shampoos on the market that are just for getting green out of your hair from swimming in a copper pool. Hope this helps.
