Hello ladies!
Since it's now summer, or atleast it is for me, it's now time for swimming alot!
which means...
CHLORINE BUILD-UP! booo hiss
Tips:
-To remove chlorine build-up at home, leave shampoo on for 5-10 minutes. This deep cleans the hair. I leave it while I shave my legs in the shower, kinda like how I do conditioner.
-To help prevent chlorine-nastiness in the first place, put conditioner on your hair before swimming. It creates a protective barrier or whatever and blocks out chlorine. However, if you swim competitively, or just with a swim cap, this makes the cap slip off, which is hella annoying. soo....
-another preventative strategy is to rinse hair with clean (non-chlorine/chemical-ed) water directly after swimming, as in as soon as you get out of the water. The more you let it dry, the more chlorine and other chemicals stick in your hair.
Also, don't use pool shampoo!!!! It dries out your hair something awful, and if you use the first tip, regular shampoo works just as good or better.
