Question for swimmers?

Question

if i'm swimming twice a day, every day, should i wash my hair every day from all the chlorine?

Answer 1

Yes! Wash your hair every day upon leaving the pool. Before you get in get it wet and put conditioner on it, then a swim cap. Every three days wash with Paul Mitchell Shampoo 3 which is really good for removing chlorine.

Answer 2

I have been a swimmer for about 18 yrs. You should always at least rinse it out and use a conditioner after every swim. Club soda is great for rinsing out chlorine post swim. I would use the chlorine removing or even just a clarifying shampoo every other day. Increase the days in between if you have dry hair. You should also use a deep conditioner every week and leave it in for at least 5 min. Put the deep conditioner in, wrap your hair up in celofane, and wrap a towel around your head. This helps add heat to make conditioner penetrate a little better. I like the Aussie brand conditioner. But you can use whatever.
Also, wet hair absorbs less chlorine, so wet hair(in a sink or shower) before putting on your swim cap or entering the pool.

Answer 3

Buy the swimmers shampoo and conditioner and leave-in conditioner called ION to prevent the green and to remove the chlorine and other harsh chemicals. I seen this product at Sallys beauty supply store.

Answer 4

Not only should you wash your hair, but condition too. Chlorine makes hair very dry and brittle. They have swimmers shampoo too....Megan is right...if you saturate your hair w/ water first, less chlorine will be absorbed.

Answer 5

I would suggest getting a cap or something.

Otherwise, ya I would wash it, just because chlorine is a chemical used to dissolve and disinfect in the water, so it has kind of assidic quality to it, meaning you should get that stuff out of your hair.
