Rinse Hair Before Swimming

I have blonde hair and it's also pretty long. To keep the chlorine in the swimming pool from turning my hair green, my hair dresser told me to thoroughly rinse my hair in plain water before getting into the pool. Your hair can only hold a certain amount of liquid and if you saturate it first, the chlorinated water won't be absorbed. She says she's been doing this since she was a kid, and it really works.

Editor's Note: Many ThriftyFun members have recently commented that it is copper in the water, not chlorine, that turns hair green after swimming.

This is an urban legend. Chlorine does not turn hair green. Copper, however, does! Pools which have a high level of copper will turn blonde hair green. Copper is a common ingredient in many algecides, but can be avoided by maintaining the correct level of chlorine and only using non-copper containing algecides.
