Wash With a Clarifying Shampoo
The next time you shampoo after swimming, use a clarifying shampoo made for swimmers that is stronger than your regular formula. These shampoos are specifically to remove chlorine and minerals that build up on your scalp and hair.
Clarifying shampoos contain surfactants that dissolve and wash away chemical residue while detoxifying your hair and unclogging your scalp. Just don’t use them more than 1-2 times per week, as they can strip natural oils over time.
Apply a Deep Conditioning Mask
Counteract the drying effects of pool chemicals by replenishing moisture with a hydrating hair mask or deep conditioning treatment after you shampoo. These masks infuse your hair with nutrients and oils to restore softness and shine.
Look for moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, and argan oil. Apply the mask from roots to tips and allow it to penetrate for 5-10 minutes under a shower cap before rinsing. Use a mask at least once a week after swimming.
