Okay, so, picture this: I recently took a dip in the pool, and my blonde hair decided to take on a lovely shade of green. Yeah, not exactly the look I was going for. So, I went on a mission to fix it, and let me tell you, it was quite the adventure.
First things first, I hopped online to do some digging. I mean, who hasn’t turned to the internet for a quick fix, right? Anyway, I stumbled upon a couple of ideas, and they seemed pretty harmless, so I figured, why not give them a shot?
Attempt 1: Baking Soda Magic
- Mixing: I grabbed some baking soda from the kitchen – you know, the stuff you use for baking or whatever – and mixed it with my regular shampoo. About a tablespoon, I think? I just kind of eyeballed it.
- Washing: Then I hopped in the shower and washed my hair with this concoction. I made sure to really massage it into my hair, paying extra attention to the green parts. It felt kind of weird, all gritty and stuff, but I was determined to get rid of that green.
- Waiting: I left it in for a few minutes.
- Rinsing: I rinsed it out thoroughly.
Honestly, after this, I didn’t see a huge difference. My hair felt a bit stripped, and the green was still there, just maybe a bit lighter. So, that wasn’t the miracle cure I was hoping for.
Attempt 2: The Pink Toning Conditioner
- Shampooing: I shampooed my hair like normal.
- Applying: Then, I grabbed this pink toning conditioner I found online. After my first attempt, I applied it to my wet hair, making sure it was evenly distributed.
- Waiting: I waited for about 2-3 minutes, as the instructions suggested.
- Rinsing and Drying: Finally, I rinsed it out and dried my hair.
When my hair was dry, I noticed that the green was almost gone. It’s like the pink neutralized it or something. I was pretty stoked! It wasn’t perfect, but it was way better than before.
I also read about using natural stuff like henna, chamomile, or even coffee, but I was too impatient for all that. Who wants to wait for weeks, right? Besides, the idea of putting coffee in my hair sounded kind of messy, and I’m not a big fan of the smell of henna.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I tackled the green hair situation. It wasn’t easy, and there were a few bumps along the way, but I got there in the end. Now I know what to do next time I accidentally turn my hair into a green mess! And hey, if you’re dealing with something similar, maybe give these methods a try. Just don’t expect miracles, okay? It’s all about trial and error.
