So I can just imagine all the dryness everyone suffers from swimming in chlorine, bromine, etc.
What is the best way to prevent damaged hair & over-dry skin?
Moisturize, moisturize & moisturize is all I seem to do as of late.
Are there methods that really work? Give a shout, i would love to know. :confused:

evidently, the baking soda strips chlorine and other chemical deposits out of your hair. I think she let it sit on her hair for a little bit. Remember you have to use one of the deep conditioners afterwards.
In reference to the wet your hair before you get in the pool...
osmosis--Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane.
It would seem to me that human hair would act like a semipermeable membrane and that over the course of a swim chlorine would move across the membrane from the high concentration (pool) to the low concentration (shower water in your hair) until the chlorine was equal on both sides of the membrane.
POP QUIZ: Why doesn't this principle hold for human hair? Or does it, and the wet your hair before you get in the pool just an urban legen?
