I just got highlights, can I get in the pool?

Question

I just got platinum blonde highlights at about 1:00 [about 3 hours ago]. Can I get in the pool without it fading or turning green?

Answer 1

I'm dyed my hair black once and I had to wait like 45 minutes but with the clourine I'm not sure.....I would wait 24 hours to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

id wait a couple days, and even then, wash your hair with shampoo for color treated hair, then put on the conditioner for color treated hair, and put it in a ponytail.

then, when you get out, immediatly wash and condition your hair with shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair.

Answer 3

wait for a day. the first "liquid" you want to touch your hair is clean water not chlorine pool water.

Answer 4

nope wait a few days

Answer 5

Don't get in the pool!! It will do both fade and make them turn green!

Answer 9

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Answer 10

you might wait until tommrrow,the chlorine in pools can react diff. with diff. chemicals??

Answer 11

If you want to go swimming where a cap and drench your hair in club soda it helps to keep the clorine from settleing in. If you plan on keeping your hair up and don't put it under water you will have no problems at all.

Answer 12

personally, I wouldn't, but if you do, get your hair wet first. If the pores in your hair are already full of clear water, they won't absorb the green chlorine water. Also, wash it afterwards with a clarifying shampoo. And maybe you'd better call your colorist and ask her...

Answer 13

NO!

Absolutely not,

give it atleast a week or so,

and still BE CAREFUL

and dont stay in the water long.

Plus, if you have thin hair it'll split it horribly.

Answer 14

Probably but you might want to wait until tomorrow just in case! ;-)

Answer 15

i would not get in the pool the same day!

Answer 16

if there permanent yes if there temporary yes, chlorine wont ruin the color

Answer 17

Answer 18
