Blonde hair turning green in parts of north Cork thanks to water supply

Many women afflicted with drab or greying hair believe a new colour would be to dye for — but for one crop in North Cork the sight of mousy locks leaves them green with envy — literally.

Everyone has a bad hair day — but what do you do when you literally can’t wash that problem out?

Women living in the rural part of Co Cork are spending a small fortune trying to cover up a greening of dyed hair, which is due to an excess of iron in the water supply.
