if you swim a lot and a pool has a lot of chlorine in it can turn green or if you swim a lot and don’t wash the chlorine out then you can have the chance of it turning green i use stuff make for blond hair that takes chlorine out i have never had green hair but i still wash it with it since i do swim in my pool every day.

And actually this happend more to naturally blond hair. I am one.

Yes it a green tint if your haircolor is blonde. Due to the chlorine and other harsh chemicals from pool water.

Usually natural blonde won’t change, but if your hair is chemically treated it WILL get a greenish tint to it. And yes, I’ve had it happen. All you need is a shampoo that removes chlorine…you can get them at Walmart. You really should use them no matter what color your hair is…chlorine is very bad for your hair.

The reason your hair turns “green” is from copper, not from chlorine…

If you die your hair blonde, the chlorine from the pool will turn it green. I know people whos’ hair has turned green it’s not that big of a deal

when you dye you hair blonde and stay in any pool for an extended period of time yes, your hair may turn green. I have never seen anyones hair turn green from swimming in a pool but i wasn’t really around any blondes long enough to really see their hair turn.

It happens usualy with bleached hair. It’s the clorine, it’s slightly green. If you wash your hair well afterwards, thoroughly, you should be fine. Bleached blondes won’t be though
My old room-mate found out the hard way.

Could also be the quality of shampoo used, perhapse?
