ok, so we just moved into a house with a salt water pool. I have bleach white hair (which has taken me over a year to achieve). I have been swimming a couple of times with no problems and my hair stayed white, however i hopped out of the pool and now my white hair is BRIGHT GREEN. Im really upset and distraught because i loved my white hair and it took alot to get it white. So anyway i have toned my hair 3 times in the shower already and its still bright green. what do i do? x

I am sorry that this happened to you... I can only imagine! :( BUT, there is good news!! :D To fix your hair: You can put several aspirins or 1/4 c. baking soda to some water and then pour on your hair before shampooing, leave in your hair for a few minutes, then wash and condition your hair as normal. OR wash and rinse your hair, then pour this baking soda solution on your hair, leave for a few minutes, then wash and condition your hair. OR wash and rinse your hair, use this solution AS a rinse, then conditioner it.
Another way of getting your hair back to normal, is to find a shampoo that contains ethylenediamene tetracetic acid (EDTA). It is a substance that is specially formulated for swimmers to prevent hair coloration from happening. If you have a shampoo that doesn't have this, it will NOT get rid of the green. Just look for EDTA written in the ingredient list on the bottle and shampoo your hair with it until until the color comes out. I have searched on the net and found that: Pantene Shampoos and Herbal Essences Shampoos contain this ingredient. So if you aren't already using that kind, they shouldn't be too hard to find (your everyday shampoo/conditioner aisle). I hope this works for you! Please let me know if it does :)
