It means years of dead ends, a cotton-candy texture and damage that lingers long after your last season. For any girls scrolling past endless videos of bouncy blowouts and luxury hair routines: I promise there <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ways to keep your hair as healthy as possible, even if you\u2019re dousing it in chlorine every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chlorine protection really comes down to two things: in the water and out of the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>In the Water<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1368\">Your hair acts like a sponge, so the goal is simple: keep it from absorbing as much chlorinated water as possible. That starts with one of the most well-known and most effective steps: wetting your hair before you get in. Dampening your hair creates a barrier so the chlorinated water isn\u2019t the first thing soaking into your strands.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1746\">Adding a leave-in conditioner or a hair oil is another strong line of defense. Yes, it might make your cap a little more slippery, but it reduces direct chlorine exposure. Some swimmers also swear by protective styles, like tight braids or buns, to limit how much surface area is exposed. It won\u2019t make you completely chlorine-proof, but it will help cut down the repeated damage over time.<\/p>\n<h4>Out of the Water<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The moment practice ends, your best move is to rinse your hair as soon as possible, before the chlorine sets in. Follow that step with a clarifying or chlorine-removal shampoo. Brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/ultraswim.com\">UltraSwim<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/solpri.com\/shop\/\">Solpri<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/malibuc.com\/collections\/hair-care\">Malibu C<\/a> are popular among swimmers because they\u2019re formulated specifically to target chlorine buildup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep-conditioning masks, serums and oils are also helpful. Look for products made for damaged or dry hair, and consider your hair type when choosing. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.triathlete.com\/gear\/swim\/post-swim-hair-care\/\">Triathlete<\/a> published a solid breakdown of swimmer-friendly products tailored to different hair textures, from curly to fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to avoid heat styling whenever you can. A curling iron once in a while isn\u2019t the end of the world, but consistent heat only worsens the breakage chlorine already causes. You should also avoid washing your hair more than once a day. That said, if you&#8217;re doing multiple practices a day, it&#8217;s better to rinse your hair after each practice and get rid of the chlorine than to let it sit. If that\u2019s your routine, continue to focus on hydrating and clarifying products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small changes, such as switching to a silk pillowcase, using microfiber towels, and adding deep-conditioning treatments to your routine can all contribute to your hair health. They help reduce frizz, friction and breakage \u2014 an easy switch that can go a long way for swimmers who already battle dryness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chlorine might be inevitable, but the damage doesn\u2019t have to be. With a few habits in and out of the water, you can keep your hair healthier, stronger, even if the sport you love tries its best to do otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"professor_prebid-root\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"professor_prebid-root\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"professor_prebid-root\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"professor_prebid-root\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"professor_prebid-root\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"professor_prebid-root\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Swimmer&#8217;s Guide to Chlorine Hair: How to Keep Your Locks Healthy Anyone who has swum since they were little knows the struggle of chlorine hair \u2014 dry, frizzy and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165060,"featured_media":288683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,17,122607],"tags":[68393,137062,137061,71417,137060],"class_list":["post-627697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-commentary","category-swim-life","tag-chlorine","tag-chlorine-hair","tag-chlorine-impacts","tag-hair","tag-hair-damage"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>A Swimmer&#039;s Guide to Chlorine Hair<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A regular battle for swimmers is chlorine hair, as daily practices can cause damage.
