Stylin'

They call it "swimmer's hair." It is popularly believed to be caused by chlorine. It only afflicts blondes.

No, I haven't been swimming since last summer. Contrary to popular belief, it isn't caused by chlorine. And, yes, I'm very much an afflicted blonde.

I knew I'd developed into a bad case when someone laughingly told me that "it's not a bad shade of green."

It took us a few days and a little research to track down the cause: a very high copper content in our water.

I'm still figuring out what to do about it.

I am also left wondering why people pay good money for green hair. And taking comfort in knowing that I look good in hats.
