does chlorine damage your hair?

I do not know much about the negative effect of chlorine and was wondering if it damages your hair and contributes to the receding hair or whatnot at all.Do swimming caps actually protect you from that, 'cause it seems like when I take it off after the practice, my hair is all wet, as if I was not wearing anything. Just wanna keep my full head of hair :-))) Thanks.

    Maybe your hair was more on the blonde side as a child? And now you're a brunette? I wear a cap all the time BUT I do like the free color that is provided by the interaction of the water and my natural color. I like my summer color better than my winter--sun + chlorine = natural looking streaks and highlights! Also--as an adult you know you should wash your hair after swimming and as a kid--well--you were a kid!!!
