Does anyone have a home recipe to remove the "green" tint out of hair as a result of swimming?

Years ago, we lived in a community with a pool. They always put too much chlorine in it. So all the little blonds were all the little greens! Needless to say, I had a houseful of blondes, but I didn't let them go cos I didn't know there was a remedy out there! Wish I knew then what I just learned in here! Apparently no one did cos we had green heads all summer long into the fall cos it just had to wear off. I was the "bad mommy" cos I didn't want a bunch of Martians living with me!

I have made the baking soda/shampoo paste for my daughters hair, and that seems to work well, but it is hard on her hair to use it frequently. I will try diluting the baking soda with water. I will also have to try tomato and lemon juice..... Thanks

I've heard that rinsing with beer works well too.

I was wondering if lemon juice would take the green out of my hair? I have highlights in my hair and they are green now from me swimming in a pool. Will lemon juice it take it out? If so, how long do I have to leave it on my hair to work?

Thanks,
Autum

As weird as this sounds, try tomato juice.

That used to happen to me every summer. My mom always made me rinse hair in lemon juice and it worked.

Baking Soda 09/02/2005
1. Make a paste of baking soda and shampoo and apply to your hair and let sit for a few minutes then rinse and condition very well.

and/or

2. Dissolve a few teaspoons of baking soda in some water and add to your bottle of shampoo. Shake before using.

Tomato Juice 10/20/2005
My youngest daughter has blond hair and her hair turns green all the time (we live in Las Vegas, so she is in the pool most of the year). I have her take a shallow bath and pour tomato juice over her head, making sure that it is distributed well. I let it sit for a few minutes then wash as usual. It gets the green out and leaves her hair very shiny.
