Before you swim, you should wet your hair completely, this will prevent some of the chlorinated water from being absorbed by your hair. Use Paul Mitchell's Shampoo Three to remove any of the chlorine that your hair did absorb.What are the best hair products to use after swimming?
Before you get into the pool, wet it with cold-cool water from the shower. This will help close the follicle and prevent it from absorbing the chemicals in pool water as much. A light coating of a conditioning mask - nothing fancy, just a normal moisturizing mask [though uv filter masks will prevent your hair color from lightening in the sun] will also provide a barrier to protect your hair from harsh chemicals in the water.





After swimming, use a chelating shampoo or swimmer's shampoos. These types of shampoos are specially designed to remove chlorine and mineral buildup. Aveda's new Sun Care collection is great, as well as Joico KPak Chelating shampoo or Malibu 2000 Swimmer's shampoo.





These types of shampoos can be a bit drying however [as can regular exposure to chlorinated water!], so make sure to follow them up with a moisturizing conditioner daily and a good deep conditioning treatment once a week. :)





Aveda has a Sun Care kit that includes their sun care shampoo, the after sun moisturizing mask, and the protective hair veil in sample sizes so you can try it out and see if it works for you.
Chlorine is very damaging to hair you would need to wash your hair after each time that you go swimming (also very drying ) After time your hair will start fading out to a sort of orange color and if you really swim alot it will start to feel kind of slippery at the ends. That would be all of the elasticity(able to stretch) out of your hair. The best protection that you could do to your hair would be to apply a jazzing to your hair they sell it at Sally's beauty supply is a plastic coating that you apply to your hair it comes in clear and what ever you do to your hair it has to work through that first. It protects your hair and makes it shiny also.
well if ur tense about ur hair being ruined cause of chlorine.then before going 4 a swim u should put some conditioner on the lengths of ur hair so they wont get ruined and u should wash ur hair with a good shampoo after the swim.
Wet your hair in the shower BEFORE you get in the pool, then IMMEDIATELY after you get out was your hair and condition.
