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.

I see a lot of people mentioning Ultra Swim. I have tried it and hated it. Not only it didn't take the green out of my hair, but it also made my hair feel funny, it seems like it coats the hair with something. I read somewhere that to avoid that use first the Ultra Swim then instead of "repeating" use regular shampoo to wash off the coat.
I got a Brazilian shampoo from L'Oreal called "Solar" (my mom sends it to me from Brazil) and that has done WONDERS for my hair, both the shampoo and the conditioner make my hair look so great that I end it up using it even when I don't swim.
Growing up in Brazil the trick was to put milk (really, just regular milk) on the hair, let it dry and wash it off. It used to work for the green (the milk used to drip a blueish tone). Haven't tried that in at least 10 years though!
