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!

Used to use the Ultraswim products but it wasn't cutting it for my hair. I found that the Malibu (Kiefer) products were slightly better. I have a problem with my hair getting dry and strawlike.... and after a while getting a little frizzy on the ends. (So for a guy, I keep it short, getting it kept short every 7-8 weeks and taking off those ends, but still.....)
Now I am cycling between using:
Nexxus Aloe Rid (Clarifying) Shampoo which strips out the chlorine/chemicals (but seems to dry it further too) with Humectress Conditioner-- or --
Nexxus Therappe shampoo with Keraphix Conditioner.-- Or--
Biolage Matrix Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
(None of it cheap...)
And sometimes still using a light spray on, leave in conditioner
On the weekends when not swimming and actually showering at home, I end up using the wife's Bumble and Bumble stuff or regular Pantene and my hair seems to almost catch back up to a little softness after 5 days a week in the pool (no cap).
