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,
Meridius
For years, I bought that shampoo for swimmers, can't remember the name but it is something like Swimmers Shampoo. It wasn't overly expensive, but not cheap either, for a small bottle. I ran out of it and needed something once, and grabbed Pert Plus and used that. Not only did it clean my hair, but my hair felt better than with the special swimming shampoo. I checked the ingredients on both bottles, and they were essentially the same (although I don't know the proportions of those ingredients).
Ever since I was in the Army, I keep my hair pretty short. But after swimming in an overly chlorinated pool, I can still get some tangles in it. So far what I do seems to be working.
