Just before the Olympics, Ryan Lochte bleached and died his hair to a light silver color. It looked sharp and made headlines.
However, after the Olympics started, people started noticing Ryan's hair turning slightly greener by the day.
The green comes from high levels of copper compounds in the pool water. Freshly bleached hair will start to absorb the copper, and the green shows more due to the light hair color.
