My hair is usually soft and silky, but chlorine has been building up from swimming, making my hair stiff and brittle. TJs citrus shampoo has usually worked fine once a week, but shampooing even daily after swimming a few weeks has been lathering much less than previously, probably due to the buildup of chlorine.
Rinsing with baking soda has apparently removed the chlorine, brought the shampoo back to full lather and removed the stiffness. Thus my plan is to continue with shampooing daily, and use the baking soda rinse twice a week. However, is shampooing this much necessary, and what do you think of the baking soda rinse?
I'm interested to see your comments, and how you remove chlorine from your hair.
Most of the chlorine removal may rid your hair of chlorine but they will also strip the heck out of it, including it's natural oils and color. If you use it long enough, it will do some damage even if it does indeed get rid of the chlorine smell.
Having raised all girls, here's a good tip...
-Always wet your hair before getting in the pool (showers are a must at our facility).
-Use a dab of conditioner, and wear a cap. Not too much conditioner or your cap will slide off.
-Rinse your hair when you get out, and try using a baby shampoo which is much less harsh than the variety of chlorine removal products.
-Use a coconut oil based conditioner or leave in hair treatment.
