Chlorine Green-Hair Recovery Rinse

Chlorine Green-Hair Recovery Rinse

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.

Inspired by Better Basics for the Home, by Annie B. Bond (Three Rivers Press, 1999).
