Go to Sally's and ask them; they have the pro formulations of shampoo that will remove the green.
Good luck!

These ideas are all from the site listed below. Hope this helps.
Green Hair - Pool Chlorine
The greening of hair from swimming pools is not caused by chlorine. It's caused by the presence of hard metals (copper, iron, and manganese, in particular) in the pool water. Chlorine oxidixes the metals and bonds it to your hair. Copper is the worst offender.
If your hair is already green, purchase a shampoo that's specially formulated for swimmers and contains either chelating agents (metal removers), such as EDTA (ethylenediamene tetracetic acid), erythorbic acid, and possibly acetylsalicylic acid (same as aspirin, and main ingredient in Scalpicin).
"Paul Brown Clarifying Shampoo" - to remove the Chlorine & the "Green."
"Treat Elite Leave in Conditioner - to protect your hair in the water.
"Ultra Swim" - claims to render the chlorine molecules harmless.
Jason Swimmer's Shampoo (No description available).
Some swimmer's shampoos/conditioners may leave a "coating" on the hair. To remove the build-up, rinse your hair after shampooing with white vinegar and water. Do not over-use these products.
Check your local beauty supply for the above products.
John Frieda's Sheer Blonde works great
Use Aveda detoxifying shampoo or sheer blonde shampoos they work great.

Pour white vinegar in your hair. It stinks, but it works. I used to be on the swim team and had to do it once a week. I also used Aussie's Clarifying shampoo daily to stop it from building up.
To prevent it from getting so bad, put conditioner in your hair before jumping in the pool. Don't rinse it out. Just wet your hair under the shower, put in the conditioner and leave it in. Reapply from time to time if you are spending hours in the pool. Any conditioner will do, but I used Aussie's 3 minute miricle or the stuff that came in hair dye because it is thicker and stays in longer.

Its green because the chlorine in the pool has dyed your blond hair too blond. Therefore, you should not dye it further, but color it with a blond color.
You could try a chlorine neutralizing shampoo first.
If you go to a hairdresser, bring a photo of yourself showing the color of your hair before it turned green to help them pick a right tint.
Once you colored it, use a swimcap to prevent it from turning green again.
Good luck;-)

Only a professional can help. Don't believe all this stuff about useing vinager and lemon, they damage the cuticule of the hair shaft and your hair will start breaking off. Your professional stylist will be able to provide you with the correct shampoo and measures. Also don't use store bought products, as they are not guarenteed. Yes you might pay a little bit more, but trust me its worth it.

I used to buy something called CLorEAN or something like that, it's actrually a Chlorine hair shampoo, designed to remove the green and turn your hair back.
Check the shampoo section at your local shopping mart, or go ask a beauty store (Sally's?). Ask for chlorine shampoo.

they have leave in treatements for before you get into the pool - they are available at most drug stores. check those out - it should help the damage already caused too. but always protect ur hair - if u cant find this product just wear a hat outside or use spray sunscrean in ur hair and keep it up- the less exposed the less damange

LOL, this happened to my wife and she actually had to go to the beauty salon and buy a special shampoo to take the green out. DON'T put any coloring on it!! A beautician can tell you what shampoo would take the green out, and it probably will take more than one or two washings, but it will work.

Go smell the bottom of the pool, you'll be considered blond for the rest of your life if you do that.
