Be Careful With the Pool Water

{!firstname_fix}

Welcome back to the email series all about taking good care of your hair during the 
summer. Another common issue to deal with is going into the pool. Of course you love 
the swimming pool during your summer break – who doesn’t? Unfortunately, the 
chlorine can be a little too harsh for your hair. Here are some tips to protect your hair 
when you are headed to the pool.

Wear a Cap

The first option available is to cover your hair with a cap while swimming. This is not 
always the ideal option, but if you have a pool in your backyard that you will use often, 
you might not mind wearing a cap and covering your hair. This is going to provide 
excellent protection for your hair, even though it will still get a little wet. 

Rinse Your Hair Beforehand

Not only should you rinse your hair right after exiting the swimming pool, but try wetting 
it before you get in as well. This helps to protect your hair as wet hair doesn’t absorb as 
much chlorine. If the pool has a shower, that is perfect. Otherwise, bring a spray bottle 
with you to spray it before you head into the pool. It is a good idea to rinse your hair 
when you get out of the pool.

Enjoy your time swimming while following these tips to protect your hair! Check back
