Swimmer’s Hair: A Deep Dive
Salty and chlorinated water can strip the moisture out of hair, leaving it brittle. And pool chemicals react with the sebum and oils that protect your scalp biome, leaving it vulnerable.
The best solution is to wear a swim cap, but if you find yourself without one, follow this routine:
💦 Pre-swim, saturate your strands with clean water so hair won’t absorb damaging chemicals
💦 Post-swim, rinse your hair and scalp as soon as possible
💦 Follow up with a clarifying shampoo and deep conditioner — your hair will thank you
