If you swim frequently in a chlorinated pool, you may already know that the chemical can cause hair to become greenish.
While bright green hair might be a social trend, the chlorine-green hair look is far from a desired look, or so most agree.
Here is a simple homemade rinse to stop chlorine’s chemical reaction with your hair!
Wet your hair in a shower. Massage ¼ cup tomato juice into your hair and let set for a few minutes before washing as usual. (This amount of tomato juice is enough for one rinse.) Rinse the tomato juice out of your hair, and then wash as usual.

Now if you could just 'rinse' the chlorine out of your internal system, where it does much more damage than turning your hair green.
Thanks for the article.

My 5 year old daughter has the green tinge from swimming daily in chlorinated pools & we over the last 4 years have tried many cures including wetting hair, swim caps, conditioner & swimmers products to no avail - her hair insists on staying mint green tinged. We have also tried ketchup which made no difference either. Will let you know how we get on with tomato juice! Luckily my daughter thinks its cool & is loving the experiments!!
Interesting!
