Here's Your Post-Chlorine Hair Care Guide

I love swimming. I was actually on a competitive team for years. I also enjoy just sitting in the water too, especially when it's hot. But that chlorine isn't so great on your hair, so:

Mind your hair type. All hair will experience dryness but the curlier and tighter your hair pattern, the more susceptible it will be to extreme dryness and tangling.

Prepare for the pool. Condition and detangle your hair before you swim to protect from chlorine. Or wear a swim cap.

Wash with a clarifying shampoo.

Condition, condition, condition. Look into a moisturizing deep conditioner.
