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:

I read a book this winter, The Curly Girl, about embracing curly hair. What was interesting is, the author says, do not use shampoo, ever, as curly hair is dry and shampoo dries hair out (for curly hair, dryness means frizz). Anyway, I stopped using shampoo. I still 'wash' my hair, I rinse with water and use conditioner and then rinse most, but not all of the conditioner out. Once a week, I wash with the conditioner. Meaning I get in and really scrub the scalp, rinse and condition again. It really works. I have frizz this summer with the humidity, but my hair is not dried out.
This 'no shampoo' probably works with straight hair, too, as far as not drying it out with shampoo, but you may want to wash out all the conditioner.
