thanks 4 the advice, but i was looking more for how 2 wear it in the pool, not what 2 use to wash it. does any1 get in the pool anyway.....??
Well let me just say this may be a rather long. I've been a swimmer for quite some time,and I've dealt with the improper care of my hair with chlorine and such;its no joke. Well for starters, you may want to just braid your hair down(3 strands), in a few sections, maybe 4-6 braids,or cornrows. You may want to use a swimming cap to protect your hair from sun, and less exposure to the chlorine. You need to rinse your hair in the shower before you get in...your hair will soak up less chlorine if you do. I always apply a leave in, typically,a spray on,after that...then you're ready to swim. Now once you get out, you have to wash your hair using a clarifier, not a NEUTRALIZING SHAMPOO. Some ladies do that but it's over drying. Once you clarify, wash as normal with a moisturizing poo and con,and to be on the safe side, DEEP condition. I think that's about it...HTH

Usually I put conditioner on my hair prior to jumping in the water. However, there are shampoos and conditioners specifically for swimmers. I have seen them at the health food store, if you are interested.
Have fun!
