Valuable Tips by Aline Leite

Getting into the pool and coming out with green hair is every blonde's nightmare. If you think this happens because of chlorine, you're mistaken. In fact, it occurs because it's normal for another substance to be present in the water: copper sulfate - as stated by hairstylist Aline Leite!

But there are ways to prevent your strands from turning green. With some care, your locks can be protected from the component when diving in. Aline Leite from Hair Concept by Roberta Gomes - Vitória, shared some valuable tips!

When your hair is very dry and porous, the cuticles of the strand remain open, making it easier for copper sulfate to penetrate. This is what results in the greenish tone. Always keep your locks hydrated to avoid the problem.

Washing your hair with running water before entering the pool is very important. This cleaning makes it harder for copper sulfate to penetrate. After diving, rinse your locks again in the shower to clean and remove any residue of the substance from your strands.

The strands are more sensitive after the bleaching process. The ideal time to wait before your next dive is 15 days. If you expose your hair to copper sulfate before this resting period is over, your locks may turn green quite quickly. Be patient!

Using the recommended products for a dive in the pool is very important. These protectors, in addition to shielding your locks from sun damage, prevent your strands from suffering the damage caused by chlorine and copper sulfate.

The purple shampoo won't help you much in this case. It only works to remove the yellowish tones from the strands. For this, toning is the best solution to remove the green from your locks. You should seek a trusted professional to help you solve the problem. After all, blonde is a delicate shade. If you try to fix the damage yourself, you might end up staining your hair even more.
