Recently tried out a new salon in town...as soon as i walked in the door the colourist and stylist were just short of strapping me into a guerney and hooking me up to a drip...it was like hair E.R. Basically I was told my hair was coated in LIME probably due to me living in a hard water area and was GREEN. ( I didn't know it was green and am still disappointed my mates allowed me to wander around like a troll for months!) I have blonde hair and after around 8 year's of highlights it is pretty over-processed. I had noticed it dulling somewhat recently. I was told we had to SAVE the hair otherwise I would have to go brown! HELP. The colourist was great and suggested deep cleansing shampoos combined with moisturising hair masks that could help. (i.e....Put away the defribillator Sheila).
Just in case anyone is having similar issues..I am aware that you can buy water filters to sort out yer hard water problems, having discussed the issue with friends I learned that some girls only wash their hair in bottled water! I did some googling and found that if you plaster your hair with ketchup and leave this to soak in for 15 mins and rinse - apparently the vingear and acidic ingredients will remove the green from the hair. Tried it this morning and it actually worked! Shame I ended up smelling like a chipper for the rest of the day though....
If anyone knows of any other longer term (less ridiculous solutions) or has come across the problem before please let me know! 
Thanks!
