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 never shampoo after swimming. I figure soaking my hair for an hour in a mild bleach solution means its clean. I found that if I shampoo after swimming, my hair ended up stiff and sticking out.
However, I use a lot of conditioner and I think the key is to let it sit on your hair for a couple minutes, so that it has a chance to work. So the shower routine is pretty complicated. To get done quickly, I have to be efficient.
- soak hair
- apply conditioner
- rinse suit
- clean goggles
- rinse out conditioner
- apply more conditioner
- wash the rest of my body
- rinse out conditioner
This seems to work well for me. The conditioner is the cheapest stuff I can find and formulated for dry hair.
