A little chlorine never hurt anyone...

Over the past 3 1/2 months we have enjoyed swimming at various loved one's pools.  It has been most refreshing to jump into a  pool and instantly be cooled down.  However, Madi and her blond hair have suffered a lot this summer because of the Chlorine.  Her hair has really changed from a beautiful, shinny blond to a dull, dry, distinct shade of green.

Madi with her cousin Derek at Newport.  She's a cutie but notice her dry hair :( and the green ends.

We never looked into it but last week a friend (Megan P) gave us a great tip and we wanted to share it with all of you.  All you need is a can of tomato paste.  It is so simple!  Wet your hair, cover your hair with the tomato paste and let sit for 5 minutes.  Rinse, wash and condition.  And Voilia.  C'est fini!

We did it in the kitchen.  It is rather messy.  But we are very happy with the result.
She has beautiful hair once again.  Thanks Megan :)

Thanks! We are going to have to do it again at the end of swim season. I don't want to have to do it more then necessary. It is a tad gross. lol
