Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.
awful quiet lately
say it isn't so
OK, I'll speak up!
Hey, gals, have any of you noticed your hair thinning out from swimming? I know thinning hair is one of those things that can happen as I approach 50, however, it started thinning gradually right after I got back into swimming, two years ago. I wear the freebie latex caps we got at Nationals, because my silicone cap is too hot to wear for training in our 84 degree pool. And, I don't want to go without a cap, because my goggles don't stay on as well without a cap. (Then, there are the pool chemicals...) I'm just wondering if the cap is causing the problem. Or, is it just my, uhhh, advancing age? :blush:
Cheers, ladies!
:cheerleader:
P.S. Yes, I shampoo and condition my hair with good-quality products after I swim. Before I swim, I saturate my hair with fresh water, before putting on my cap.
