POOLSIDE HAIR

A quick dip in the pool is a great way to cool off, but the havoc it wreaks on your hair is not. The chlorine present in the water, paired with the harsh sun is the cause of hair damage. Hair gets porous, dry, brittle, and colour-treated hair loses its shine as well. To keep your hair protected when going for a swim, Najeeb Ur Rehman–PPS Director, Schwarzkopf Professional, Henkel Beauty Care India says, “The best thing to do is wet the hair with tap water before going into the pool to prevent the hair from soaking up chlorine water. Once you are out of the pool, rinse the hair with a clarifying and deep-cleansing shampoo to take off any impurities. Then use a conditioner for two to five minutes. In case you are going to swim regularly, cover your hair with a swimming cap.”
