I'm new here, so this will be my first (of hopefully many) posts.
I recently just started swimming again. I have long hair that I'd like to keep in good condition and I know the chlorine can be harsh on it. I was wondering if any one can recommend a combination of shampoo and possibly swim cap that can help me not damage my hair while swimming. I do currently have a swim cap, I just can't figure out how to get it on my head and cover the entire thing. Maybe I just have a huge noggin and a small swim cap.
The first thing I did when I came here was do a search of the forums and no results were found. Any links, advice or otherwise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Aveda Hair Detoxifier for shampoo. I use their leave-in Elixir conditioner, though it seems they may be discontinuing this in the near future, so if you can find some in a salon I'd suggest you get a fair amount of it. Aveda products are a little pricier up front but they are great, and a small bottle will last forever.
I've heard some folks put non-chlorinated water in their cap/hair before they get in the pool, but I can't swear by this.
