Why it works

Pick your problem. See the chemistry.

Green is metal, not dye. Chlorine oxidizes the copper in pool water, and it binds to light or porous hair.

Chlorine strips the oils that coat each strand, and hair takes up pool water like a sponge.

Chlorine roughens the cuticle, and rough strands catch on each other. That's the 20-minute comb-out.

Bleached, highlighted and color-treated hair is more porous, so it soaks up the most pool water and shows it first.

A barrier goes on before the water does

Shea butter, sweet almond oil and argan oil coat each strand, so copper meets the barrier instead of bare hair. It's made to keep the green tint from taking hold.

Shea · Sweet almond · Argan

Damp hair soaks up less

Wet your hair with clean water first. Hair that's already full of clean water takes up less pool water, and less of the metal in it.

KEEP COLOR SAFE

FORGET THE FRIZZ

Saltwater and pool chemicals strip your hair of natural oils, making your post-swim comb-out a nightmare. Leave frizzy hair, impossible knots, and broken strands behind!

GOODBYE GREEN HAIR

When copper and chlorine bond, they form a film which adheres to the proteins in your hair. The result: flat, stringy, green hair weighed down by oxidized minerals.
