Swimming and hair: protecting it from chlorine
Chlorine and sea water can leave hair dry and tangled. Here is a simple routine for before and after a swim.
Wet it first
Wet your hair with clean tap water before getting in the pool. Hair that is already wet absorbs less pool water.
A swim cap
A swim cap reduces exposure. Put it on and take it off slowly so it does not pull on thin hair.
Rinse and wash after
Rinse straight after swimming and wash with a gentle shampoo. Put conditioner on the ends to reduce tangles.
After treatment
Ask your consultant when it is fine to swim again after treatment, and follow the aftercare guidance.

Does chlorine cause hair loss?
Chlorine is more linked to dry, brittle hair. A good rinsing routine helps.
What about sea water?
Salt and sun can dry hair. Rinse with clean water and protect your scalp from the sun.
