Can ketchup remove green from your hair?

Usually it can, but sometimes hair needs a little more. I used to use apple cider vinegar when I had a pool. All I did was take a pitcher of warm water and about half a cup of the vinegar, or more, mix it, and rinse my hair with it after shampooing. Vinegar has a certain acid that smoothes the hair folicle as well, so not only should it remove the green, your hair should feel nice as well.

Why do peoples hair get white or gry?

Hair has color when you are first born. Of course because you are just beginning to use the melanin,the thing that gives your hair it's color. Each hair has a different folicle that they grow in under the skin. Each folicle has it's own amount of melanin. When you get older, that folicle has less melanin and can't make enough to give your hair it's color. That's when your hair turns white or gray, when the hair folicle loses all or most of it's melanin.
