| I think I'm going to start swimming for exercise again and I'm wondering what the best way to protect my hair is. It isn't that long...2-3 inches past my shoulders, maybe, but it's extremely thing, which means that I have a lot of hair and it's hard to get it in a swimming cap. I know to wet it with regular water before getting in the pool to keep the hair from absorbing the chlorine...any other hints? |

You might also oil your hair before getting it wet...

I agree with missMNK I use to do a lot of swimming and that chlorine isn’t great on hair. But the best way to protect your hair to wear a swimming cap. I know its not very fashionable but it does keep the chlorine away from your hair. |
