How to Remove Green Tint From Blonde Hair

Chemicals found in chlorine do not only reside in swimming pools, but may also find their way into your tap water where they can turn your blonde hair an unattractive shade of green. There are many home remedies to return your hair to its original shade. One simple home remedy uses an item that you probably already have on hand--baking soda.

Things You'll Need

• Baking soda
• Shampoo

Instructions

Getting the Green Out With Baking Soda

1. Take a palm full of your favorite shampoo and mix it together with a few teaspoons of baking soda. Use just enough to create a paste-like texture.

2. Apply the mixture to your hair from root to tip and allow it to set for a few minutes. You may feel a slight tingling sensation as the baking soda begins working.

3. Rinse your hair with water. If there are any remaining tints of green, repeat the process.

4. Condition and style your hair as usual.

Tips & Warnings

• Wetting your hair before getting in a chlorinated pool can help reduce the 'greening' effects on your hair.

• If you have recently tried another home remedy, be sure that all added chemicals (lemon juice, tomato juice, etc...) are thoroughly rinsed from your hair before applying the baking soda/shampoo mixture.
