My hair is a freakish color of blonde! its coppery and i hate it. I constantly tuck my hair behind my ears, and when i untuck it it is all kinky. If possible, I'd like a shampoo or product that helps with taking chlorine out of my hair? Possibly lightening it and making it soft. I use biolage conditioner and it does make my hair soft, but it's greasy afterwards! Help needed! Thanks!

Garnier, Aussie, and Suave make excellent, inexpensive shampoos. Aussie makes one, I forgot the exact name, but it mositurizes your ends and gets rid of excess oil [granted, most shampoos should do that already, but this one supposedly has a better formulation, and for $3 it's worht a shot]. I've heard that lightly coating your hair with conditioner before swimming minimzes chlorine damage.
Kinky hair can usually be tamed with some basic styling cream. Try one or two, and see what works. You could also try a new style around your face. Maybe some layers or something similar that cuts away the kinky parts around your ears? Hairspray could solve your problem too.
