Hi everyone! My 8 yr old's dirty blonde hair seems to have gotten a yucky muddy tint from a summer full of swimming in our pool. (I'm sure you blondes know what I'm talking about). What can I use to help restore her color or at least get rid of what the chlorine has done to it? I don't really want to dye it as she's so young, but it just looks so "dirty". But could I maybe just buy a dye that is close to her natural hair and leave it on for a short time? Would love some advice! TIA!!

I know what you mean; I'm a high-school swimmer! What works best for me is using a clarifying shampoo once a week. It'll get rid of the gross build-up in your hair caused by chlorine. Another good idea is using a shampoo designed for you hair-color such as Pantene Expressions designed for blondes; it'll enhance your color and make hair shinier. As for now, if your daughter goes swimming again (which I'm sure she will) something I do that prevents the chlorine from discoloring and drying out my hair is to spread conditioner over my dry hair and pull it back into a pony-tail before swimming. Hope I helped!

Honestly the best thing to use is Biolagé shampoo and conditioner. You can find it in most salons.
My hair used to do the same thing and that's what my mom always used. Talk to a stylist at the salon for the right kind, but it's formulated to get rid of the muddiness that chlorine gives to blonde hair. It also takes out that funny greenish tint that blondes get sometimes.

Please don't dye here hair !
But you can go to the retail store and get the just for blonde's conditioner that has restoratives for the blond hair in it . it's a golden tube and it works great . If everything else won't work you might also want to buy a shampoo especially for "pool hair"
' which takes the chlorine out of the hair.

Chlorine will change hair color. It sucks. When she gets in the pool put a wrap or something over her head so she wont get more in there. The more she washes her hair. It may come out.

I would take her to a salon and have them correct it. She's only a little girl, and if she feels bad about the way it looks now, think how traumatized she will be if a botched "home remedy" ruins it!
Call around to salons in your area, particularly family salons. Chances are they've had experience with this before and can fix it with a minimum of trauma and for not *too* much money.

The chlorine has bleached the color out of her hair and the only way to get it back is to color it, sorry.

Paul Mitchell makes a shampoo especially for this, its called Shampoo Three. its a clarifying shampoo, but made to get chlorine, iron, and other impurities out of hair.

Mash up bayer aspirin in water and make a paste out of it and apply it to her hair when wet but towel dried. They use it in salons and charge huge bucks for it!!!
