How to Fix Chlorine Damaged Hair –<\/strong> It\u2019s the dead of summer, and it\u2019s HOT outside.\u00a0 If you have access to a swimming pool, you\u2019re probably spending a lot of time cooling off in it.\u00a0 This feels so good at the time, but can really wreak havoc on your hair.<\/p>\n

Chlorine not only dries out hair, but can also affect the tint.\u00a0 If have dark hair, you\u2019ll probably fare better than blondes who run the risk of stepping out of the pool with green locks, but we\u2019re all still prone to chlorine\u2019s harsh effects.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a swimmer, it\u2019s really important to use a shampoo that is formulated for chlorine removal, and most clarifying shampoos do the trick.\u00a0 What\u2019s a clarifying shampoo?\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s basically any shampoo that\u2019s designed specifically to de-gunkify; remove build up from hair products, oil, and chlorine.\u00a0 \u201dHey, aren\u2019t all shampoos supposed to do that?\u201d\u00a0 Well, yes, insofar as all shampoos are supposed to clean your hair.\u00a0 But, clarifying shampoos go the extra mile by really digging deep and getting every ounce of gunk out; think of as the difference between brushing your teeth at home versus getting a cleaning at the dentist: both are good, but one is stronger.<\/p>\n

When you use clarifying shampoo, make sure you use a moisturizing conditioner, as this type of shampoo is pretty serious on cleaning but not as much on softening\/hydrating.<\/p>\n

Some clarifying shampoo brands include Suave Professionals Daily Clarifying Shampoo or V05 Herbal Escapes Clarifying Shampoo, both available at your local drug store.\u00a0 If swimming is your primary concern and you don\u2019t use a lot of hair products, try UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo and Conditioner.\u00a0 \"\"This product does an excellent job of removing chlorine and protecting hair against chlorine related damage. Paul Mitchell makes a great cleanser called “Shampoo Three” that contains an ingredient specifically formulated to remove chlorine from hair. The product description itself says that it helps prevent \u201cchlorine green\u201d for swimmers.<\/p>\n

If you are a devoted swimmer shampoo your hair with shampoo and baking soda twice to remove the chlorine from your hair after each swim. Then use a good instant conditioner to nourish the hair to restore some shine back into the hair.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re opting for a more natural product, try Aubrey Organics\u2018 Swimmer\u2019s Normalizing Shampoo for Active Lifestyles. It uses organic corn syrup, citric acid, and organic shea butter and aloe vera to both remove all the chlorine and buildup and restore moisture.<\/p>\n

Happy swimming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
