@Nonametoday you are correct. Peroxide does lift the cuticle and chlorine from a pool can stain your hair green. Also, purple or blue shampoos will stain the hair too.
Conditioner and peroxide mixed is used on course textured hair to lift the cuticle so that the color will take and hold if your hair is color resistant.
Thanks so much ladies for all your help, especially Carmie (hairdresser)! I've never smoked and I do use a flat iron and heat brush. I take only thyroid pill daily and a multi vitamin. I'll try potential solutions given for sure. I'll may report back if a solution works.
