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!

I have to remind everyone that water varies heavily by region, and this makes a big difference in how one's hair responds to shampoos and conditioners. I have shampoo that I really like when I visit my folks but I can't stand using it when I am at home. And when I travel, it's really kind of crazy how weird the hair acts. Some places may have hard water, others soft, others softened, etc.
All that said, ultraswim shampoo right after swimming works fairly well for me, and the rest of the time I use Neutrogena anti-residue formula shampoo. Some people may feel like that strips the hair, but my hair never got out of puberty and it is still really oily (unlike my skin). For conditioner, I like many others just use some cheap stuff.
