What can they do about this? If you have highlights in your hair, and especially blonde highlights, the chlorine in the swimming pool will affect the colour. With repetitive exposure to chlorine and sunshine, your blonde highlights will turn green. In order to remedy this you shouldn’t just redo your highlights again to get the original color. This will result in breakage to your hair. If you are going to have the color redone, only do the roots.…
