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,

I am a guy with long hair. I wear a silicon cap, and usually don't pre-wet my hair beofre I put the cap on. My local pool has pretty good water chemistry.
In "bad" water, I will pre-wet my hair, and if it is really bad, I have been known to put some conditioner on it before the cap.
I usually don't shampoo after swimming, just rinse and run.
Well, that was certainly worth 2 cents, eh?
