This is one query that is on top of the mind of most regular swimmers. We all know there is chlorine in the water along with other chemicals. Regardless of our
swimming
caps, we can't fully protect our hair from the pool water. So what should you do?
Experts recommend washing your hair is the best thing to do after using the swimming pool. Because if left unwashed, the chemicals from the pool will settle in your hair and create havoc.
But if you do not want to use a shampoo every time, it is best advised to rinse it using water. Otherwise they will just dry out your hair.
However, washing it daily may also not be the best thing to do as your hair will start losing moisture. So buy a targeted shampoo that removes chlorine from your hair and cleanses your scalp as well as the hair.
And if you do choose to swim daily and thus wash your hair daily, think about ways you can moisturise it from damaging in the sun. Replace your regular conditioner with a super rich hair mask - something that you leave in a bit before rinsing again.
Also, you will do a big favour to your hair by letting it dry out naturally. Do not expose it to more heat by using a dryer. Leave in conditioning spray can help you too.
You can also consider using hair creams before you head for a swim to keep them protected.
