How can I protect my hair and skin while swimming?

My hair gets very brittle in the water. I have never used a swim cap. Are they helpful in saving your hair, or are they more useful for smoothing your head for speed? Do you put an ointment in your hair to prevent the chlorine from drying it out? What do you you put on your skin after swimming also? I have tried using an oil, but it doesn't seem to absorb. Thanks.How can I protect my hair and skin while swimming?
UltramSwim is the best. There is also, Nexxus Aloe Rid Gentle Shampoo, and Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three. These are products that help remove the chlorine from the hair.





The swimming cap will just minimize your exposure to the chlorine, but if you use one of these you should be able to scrap the capHow can I protect my hair and skin while swimming?
Swim cap, Nexxus Aloe Rid, shampoo and condition like crazy. Any good over the counter lotion is good for a post swim. Chlorine is drying you out. And drink water. Yes, you sweat in the pool and you need to rehydrate.
Swim caps can streamline you and keep hair damage down. A simple way to help hair and skin is to take a shower before swimming wetting your skin and hair.This helps to get unchlorinated water in the skin pores and hair shafts. Applying conditioners before swimming can be done if you wear a cap but should not be done if you swim capless. (not to make a mess of the pool water) . After your swim take your time and apply some skin lotion. Swim caps are available in many styles and sizes. Yes you can stay 98% dry with some cap combinations but a loosely fitting swim cap that keeps hair dry does not exist. You will have to try some different methods to see what works best for you.
stay under the water at all times
Hello, Swim cap definately helpful. I can say from exp i swim a lot and i have good healthy hair. There are different products i.e.: Nexus Shampoo (After Swimming one). i don not recommend using oil.
You must wear a swim cap so that water will not touch your hair.





Apply some oill. It does not need to get absorbe but it will act as a sheild to protect your skin. Dk
