DD has beautiful curly blonde hair......but.....she absolutely loves to swim and she just needs to look at water and her hair starts turning green.
Anyone have some remedies that might help, or can recomend a good shampoo that will help. I don't want to waste money on shampoo that is supposed to work but ends up being crap. TIA  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

There's a shampoo called "Swimmers Choice" - it removes chlorine, salt and metals, and apparently the green colour. Your hairdresser should have something, or be able to tell you where to get it.
Green hair is no fun - I used to get it all the time when I was little. |

"Swimmers Choice" is great I used it on my girls when they were doing swimming lessons and it gets the smell out as well as helping with the brittleness that chlorine creates. Not sure about the green as my girls are both brunettes but if it says it helps on the bottle and it doesn't you can always take it back. You can get it at most Chemists.

I was told by a hairdresser that tomato sauce works (my hair went green after working on a ship with heavily chlorinated water) but I never tried it - at least it would be cheap? -------------

Tomato sauce?? 
Hehe. Can you post us a pic when you try it?? 
(Actually, you'd be staggered at what works and what doesn't - my hair is always gorgeous after I've given it a good dousing in beer. I smell like a brewery, but it makes it all shiny! The shampoo lathers like a b*tch though when you try to wash it out!!  )------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

The tomato sauce may work, tho I have never heard of that one. I am a hairdresser & when we had this problem we counteracted the green colour with red hence why the tomato sauce may work.
One thing you could try is putting conditioner in her hair before going swimming & maybe braiding. The chlorine gets in the hair shaft because it is dry & porus & the conditioner will help seal the cuticle somewhat the other thing is wearing a swimming cap. Good luck!! ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |

I say a swimming cap. I have a little girl in my class, and they have just began swimming this week, her hair is already green lol, poor little thing. I said to her today that maybe she could ask her mum to buy her a swimming cap. She was a little upset as the rest of the class were teasing her. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">
