Swimmers who swim daily on synchro and swim teams need
lots of hair protection to keep hair in good condition.Pool chemicals like
chlorine strip
natural oils from the hair shafts. Hair becomes dry and
brittle with split ends.
There are many things team swimmers can do to protect
their hair.
1. Start by getting your hair wet in the shower before getting in the pool. The un chlorinated shower water will fill the hair shafts and make it harder for the pool chemicals to seep in.
2. Wear a swim cap in the pool.
3.Shower after your swim, and use a conditioner... What

Most swimmers on swim teams wear thin team logo swimcaps. These caps offer some hair protection but many swimmers may still have hair troubles. Try wearing a more water tight swim cap over the team cap for one or two practice swims a week. Its a very simple way to provide extra protection. Instead of your hair being treated to a dose of chlorine 5 to 7 days a week limit the damage to 3 to 5 days a week. It will make a difference and you can keep swimming!
