Swimming a lot - hair products

I have some old suave pool shampoo that I like, I don't think they make it anymore.

One tip I've learned is to make sure you hair is wet before you get in. The hair will have soaked up non chlorine water leaving less opportunity for the chlorinated water to bing with hair.

I lived in the pool when I was your daughter's age. I had straight blonde hair. I always throughly wet my hair before I got into the pool. Saturated hair is less likely to absorb all of the pool chemicals. I also put about a quarter size of conditioner in my hair and a cap if I was lap swimming. The conditioner also protects the hair. I don't remember using a special shampoo or conditioner (it was the late 70's- so probably Pert!). I think anytime you spend time out in the sun your hair is going to lighten regardless. We spent a week in Mexico in March and I looked like I had a dye job gone bad when I got home.

Like a few other mentioned I also wet my hair before getting into chlorinated water and spray a conditioning leave in treatment on. It helps create a barrier. Right now I'm using Its A 10 leave in conditioning spray.

I have found that the Paul Mitchell Three Clarifying shampoo is the only one that works well at preserving hair color and removing the chlorine. I use a deep treatment once weekly for conditioning/moisturizing, but otherwise I just use a moisturing conditioner and avoid volumizing conditioners. Some of my favorites are L'Oreal Total Repair Damage Erasing Balm and It's a 10.

My favorite shampoo in the 70's. Was body on tap... Had beer in it and was great for bringing out highlights in brown hair

This is what we do now. My aunt owns a hair salon in WI and this is what she recommends to save money.

In the last we've used Aveda sun care for DD. It works great but is kind of pricey.

I use an after swim shampoo twice a week in the summer because my hair will turn green from the chlorine. I get mine at Sally's.

Wet hair and a swimming cap helped mine.
