I went through a couple million pages of old threads and didn't come over a topic like this...maybe I just missed it in my skimming, but if not...
my hair is completely dead. Chlorine build-up, dry and just BLAH. I have asked around at those stores that only sell hair products, and they always reccomend a different one. I can't not calculate how much money I have spent on various hair shampoos and conditioners that were suppose to be GREAT for swimmers. I was wondering what some of you all use. I don't have a problem splurging on a product...if its going to work!

In the past I've gotten into having multi-color highlighting and asked my stylist how to protect it with all the swimming. She told me to mix baking soda w/water, work it into my hair and let it sit for a few minutes. It nutralizes all those chemicals somehow. Then shampoo with a high-moisturizing shampoo and a good conditioner. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes too. Avoid the blow dryer. When I follow this regimen I find my hair stays pretty healthy and the color hold pretty well. Anyone else ever try this baking soda treatment?
