Chlorine does not cause green hair. Copper in the water causes the green hair.

Keeping hair color looking it's best Comments By: Mike on 2011-01-18

Once your hair is colored, keeping it that way is another story. Depending on the shampoo you use and the condition of your water (especially well water, that can wreak havoc with your hair), your hair color can fade fast or change depending on the mineral content of your water. To keep your color longer, use a good color depositing shampoo or conditioner. http://www.haircareusa.com lists quite a few, such as Tressa Watercolors, All-Nutrient Color+Shampoo, and ClayPac. If your hair (especially blondes) is changing because of your water, check out the Malibu Crystal Gel Treatment. An amazing product that removes chemical, minerals, chlorine, etc. while leaving your hair color intact. http://www.haircareusa.com carries that too. Great products to keep your hair color looking its best.
