I was just wondering what others do for their chlorine damaged hair. My daughter has beautiful hair that is just getting damaged to the point that it is unmanageable. She goes swimming while I work out, three times a week and won't wear her cap. It looks great when I brush it but by the time we get to school it looks wild. I have joke with the teachers at the school about how crazy her hair can get.
Having gone through this with my daughter, it is somewhat a losing battle. My daughter now wheres a cap most of the time, but she is almost 12. At 6, no way. There is a product called ION crystal gel treatment that you can buy at Sally's beauty supply. It comes in little purple packets and is a powder that you mix with 2 ounces of warm water. It forms a very snotty like substance which you put in her wet hair, and then put a plastic cap on it. Heat the hair for 20 minutes with a hair dryer, then wash it out, and condition it really good. Infusion is a good product and so is VO5 hot oil treatment. If you can, get her to sit still for this at least once a month. I use it for my own hair once a month, and it really makes a difference.
