Go Green

We hope you all had a great holiday weekend! We love summer but it can really do a number on your hair. All summer long our clients come in asking how to get the green (from chlorine in the pool) out of their locks. We've tried everything from clarifying shampoos to baking soda and none seemed to do the trick, not to mention they dried out our hair. Our best solution? Tomatoes! It sounds weird but it works on even the blondest of blondes.
We keep a big bottle of Ketchup in our shower and use it after we shampoo. Leave it in for at least 5 minutes, rinse and follow with a hydrating conditioner or masque. To avoid going green in the first place coat your hair with a leave in conditioner before you go swimming and immediately rinse your hair after. Pin It

GREEN HAIR?

We LOVE summer but it can really do a number on your hair. One of the most often asked questions we get is how to get rid of the green in hair from the swimming pool. Well after searching high and low and spending an arm and a leg we finally found the best solution, TOMATOES! It sounds wierd, we know but it really does work on even the blondest of blondes.

HOW TO: Shampoo your hair like normal and rinse, follow with your tomato product of choice. We prefer ketchup (you can buy a huge bottle from somewhere like Cotsco and keep it in your shower). Coat your hair with the ketchup, like you would conditioner, and let it sit for a couple minutes. Rinse and follow with conditioner. It should work its magic after the first use, if you still notice green continue to use the ketchup every time you wash your hair until its gone. If you have had problems with green hair in the past, we recommend using ketchup after every time you swim to avoid it turning green to begin with. Tip: To help protect your hair even more, coat your hair with a leave in conditioner before you swim.
