If you get your hair wet from a shower before you put a cap on, your hair will already have absorbed fresh water so it will absorb less chlorinated water.

It's just the one chemical, actually.

Wearing a swim cap will protect your hair, if you are in the pool for 2 hours a day definitely invest in one, unless you like your hair being greasy straw :p. You may be able to find some soaps specifically for cleaning chlorine of your body/ hair. I have a natural soap bar (goat milk, and oil I think?) that I scrub on the skin, but in the future I may look into something swimming specific (I've never personally looked). I read somewhere that one guy would take a spray bottle with powdered vitamin C / Water solution, and spray it on his skin after swimming to deal with the chlorine. Overall I think high levels of chlorine can be bad, so you should do what you can to protect yourself a bit.
