Does Chlorine Turn Hair Green?

No, it is not the chlorine in the pool that turns hair green, it is the copper in the pool. Chlorine wouldn't turn hair green, because chlorine can be used to bleach clothes. Copper is in pools, because tap water has some copper, the machines used to clean the pool contain copper, and because if people have makeup on while in the pool the copper in the makeup will fall off, and get into the pool. So next time your hair turns green don't blame the chlorine, blame the copper. - John Baskin
