After I go swimming, and even after washing my hair twice it still stinks of chlorine!! How can I get it out? It also goes really straw like and frizzy afterwards!

Try a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse: 1/2 cup vinegar mixed with 2 cups of water. I know I know, ACV is stinky too.. but at least the smell of vinegar goes away after the hair dries. Vinegar rinses dissolve/remove unwanted residue from hair.

To get rid of the "strawlike" frizzy effect, you could work about a 1/2 tsp of oil through your hair before shampooing. (e.g. jojoba, macadamia, coconut, almond, etc..)

HTH :)
