How to Remove Green Pool Tint from Hair

Purple shampoo neutralizes green undertones from chlorine exposure by depositing violet pigments that counteract the unwanted color.

1. Assess the damage. Check how green your hair actually looks in natural light, not bathroom lighting. Green usually appears most obvious on lighter hair colors and tends to concentrate around the ends where hair is most porous.
2. Choose your purple shampoo. Pick a purple shampoo with strong color-depositing properties rather than gentle daily-use formulas. The more pigmented the product, the faster it will neutralize green tones.
3. Apply to damp hair. Work purple shampoo through wet hair section by section, focusing on the greenest areas. Leave on for 3-5 minutes initially, checking progress as you go.
4. Monitor and repeat. Rinse and assess under natural light. Most green tones should lift after one treatment, but stubborn areas may need a second round with slightly longer processing time.
