HELP!:drown:
The chlorine is really doing my hair in. And I've tried it all...Always rinsing hair before getting in water and putting a conditioner on before. Also, I always wash with chlorine removing shampoo afterwards...
However, my hair still is so dry. Also I pay crap loads of money to have it colored and my blondish color hair is just turning an ugly, dull brassy color. EWWWWW!
Can anyone recommmend a really good pre swim treatment for the hair?
Come on...I know not all of you have a rat's nest on your head!!!hehe:joker:
I have long hair. As a teenage swimmer, the beauty shop people would always use my hair as an example of what chlorine did to blond hair. Since I started swimming again two years ago after a 25 year hiatus, I put conditioner in my hair before swimming and it kept it from getting real dry, but my cap would always slip off. One day, I was out of conditioner and had heard that olive oil made for a good hair conditioner (it is similar to natural hair oil). I have been using it ever since and now my hairdresser recommends it to others after seeing the good condition my hair is in now. The heat from the workout makes the oil penetrate my hair while I swim. After swim, I add shampoo and rub it in without extra water and then rinse it all out. :fish2:
