Or if your hair is already green, you can try some at home remedies below to see what works best for you. Rinse with Tomato Juice , ketchup or lemon juice. Soak your hair as best you can with tomato juice, then let it set for minutes.
Or try ketchup. After coating your hair with it, you will need to wrap your hair in tinfoil or wrap a swim cap and let it sit on your head for about 30 minutes. If you decide to give the lemon juice a try, put the lemon juice in your hair and let it sit for about minutes.
Whichever you choose, wash and condition your hair after you have fully rinsed. Try aspirin, baking soda or lemon Kool-Aid as a rinse. Massage paste into your hair and let it sit for about minutes. If you decide to give aspirin a try, crush about tablets in a bowl then add warm water to it for it to dissolve. The acid in tomatoes breaks down chlorine and copper, which fades the green from your hair.
The acid might also make you feel a bit itchy, but it is not bad unless you are allergic to tomatoes.
If this is the case, go to your stylist to get a good clarifying or swimmers' shampoo. Copper is the culprit. This metal is found in most pools, and when it is oxidized by chlorine, it binds to the proteins in your hair strands, turning it green. It is a simple chemical reaction.

I was horrified, and my husband, who thought it was hilarious at first, felt like he was in a torture chamber with a crying wife. Question: I had green highlights after applying a wash out purple hair colour. Will tomato sauce work? Wash and condition as normal when you are finished. Ketchup — Coat your hair in ketchup. Either wrap it in up tinfoil or put on a swim cap and let it sit for about 30 minutes before shampooing and conditioning.
Aspirin — Crush aspirin tablets inside a bowl, add warm water to it, and let it dissolve. Put the aspirin-water mixture into your hair and let it sit for about minutes. Rinse it out with clean water, then shampoo and condition normally. Massage the paste into green hair and rinse it out with clean water, then wash and condition normally. The amount of times this needs to be done will depend on the intensity of the green color.
