We are deep into the days of summer with hot days and lazying by the pool, yes, I said lazying-it is a word. Maybe you like to swim in the pool or the kids are taking swim lessons, either way, you are encountering a nasty, toxic chemical called chlorine, and perhaps your hair is turning that lovely shade of summer green--yuk!I am not going to get into the reasons why chlorine is unbeneficial, we can save that for another post. I will give you a remedy to get that green tinge from your lovely tresses. You need to use the red to get out the green, kind of like a "Christmas in July" theme, with tomato juice. This recipe comes from Annie Berthold-Bond, in her book, "Better Basics for the Home".
Here it is:
1/4 cup of tomato juice
Put tomato juice onto wet hair and massage scalp. Leave it on for a few minutes, then wash as usual. Celery stick and booze optional--joking!
That is it! Easy, simple and basic. Kind of brings new meaning to knocking your head and saying: "I could have had a V-8". Ok, I better go, I am getting silly....
Here's to you health and the dog days of summer!

I never had green hair until this summer and for some reason, this year, I had it BAD! Lemon juice got most of it out, but did leave a little green tint. A hair cut to get rid of the dry ends, and wetting my hair before swimming has prevented recurrance. I will try tomato juice if it happens again. Thanks!
Sounds great, Wanda. Let us know how it works for you.
