Who doesn’t love a dip in the swimming pool when temperatures rise?
Your hair, that’s ‘who’!
Chlorine is very harsh on hair, stripping it of natural oils and moisture and even destroying the keratin in your hair.
Over time this can cause excessive dryness, increased porosity and breakage.
Before you dive into the pool, here are a few tricks to minimise hair damage:
• Pre-soak your hair with clean water.
• Apply thick conditioner to serve as a barrier.
• Wearing a swim cap. Alternatively, wear your hair in a bun or braid it.
• Rinse your hair immediately after swimming.
• Let your hair air dry and use a wide tooth comb.
