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.
The Red Door Beauty Salon in Dromahane (near Mallow) has been inundated with ladies seeking help after falling victim to the acidic, iron-rich supply in the villages of Dromahane and Bweeng.
KAI RUNOVSKI, manager of the Red Door, first encountered the issue when the business opened in Dromahane a year ago. She tells Anton how they are dealing with it, and Cork Mayor John Paul O'Shea spoke of how he is getting Irish Water and Cork County Council to solve the problem.
The story was on the front page of Friday's Irish Examiner.
