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.

Personally, I haven't seen any change in the thickness of my hair due to chlorine exposure. The only side effect I've noticed is that it tends to lighten my hair.
Mine lightens up too, and despite my best efforts with condtioner etc it does tend to get brittle in summer with the sun/chlorine combo. I then end up with fluffy ends when enough of it breaks off, then I get it cut! No issues with it thinning though, even though sometimes I wish it would.
Must be your age :bolt:
Then again, you might be right about the cap. Thinking about it my GTD cap always seemed to have hair in it when I took it off. It only lasted about 6 weeks though, so not long enough to make a difference on my thick mop.
