Color Run dye leaves its mark on joggers' hair

The Crazy Color Run in Leeuwarden on Sunday had an unfortunate end for a number joggers. Many of the about 1,800 participants can not get the paint washed out of their hair. "And now? I've already tried Robijn, Vanish, Oil Shampoo from Kneipp, Head & Shoulders, blonde shampoo.. And I am still a colored bird of paradise, or a canary", one participant complains on Facebook. She is one of many people complaining on the event's Facebook page. A hair salon in the area had people coming in on Monday morning who still couldn't get the paint out, even after washing their hair 30 times, NOS reports. "Normally we are closed on Monday morning. But we opened the doors especially for all those people", an employee told the broadcaster. "Red is fairly easy to get out, but blue and green..." The organization of the event has offered its apologies. They are blaming the supplier for the colorful mistake. "Most of the complaints that we have received are about the powder that is difficult to remove from hair, we are seriously waiting on this and are waiting for a response from the insurance company, you can imagine that this will take some time", they write on Facebook. https://youtu.be/oTkhGV0W4iU
