How do I keep healthy hair when diving every day?

Question

I recently joined my university diving team, and we practice 4-5 times a week. I’ve bought a special shampoo and conditioner for the chlorine, but considering how often I’ll be washing my hair, I feel like it’ll strip my natural oils. I have somewhat thick and straight hair. 
How do I prevent that from happening? What products can I use to save my hair from the brittle doom of swimmers hair?

Answer

Avoid over washing and get a swimming cap instead.

Answer

6 plus years as a swim coach with thick curly hair. I can't recommend this enough. My hair stayed pretty healthy for 6 days a week in chlorine.

Answer

Have you looked into a swim cap?

Answer

Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Shampoo & Conditioner. It doesn't feel very stripping and the conditioner always makes my hair feel soft after a swim.

Answer

Coconut oil!!

Answer

You need this! Anything from a drug/grocery store will only dry your hair out more with the added alcohol they all contain. The conditioners contain wax to make your hair feel soft making you believe its working. Just read the backs of the bottles.
Try an Ulta or any professional salon. You also only have to use this product 1-2 times a week it is that strong. Follow up with a hydrating conditioner as well -from a professional place. I promise I’m not saying this for my health but your hairs health. The regular stores are a scam. Be aware!! -Fellow hair stylist here

Answer

Conditioner (not necessarily this one, any conditioner you like) and braid before swimming, or get a swimmers cap..

Answer

Try soaking your hair in fresh water (like from the shower) before getting in the pool. If your hair is saturated with fresh water it won’t soak up as much chlorine water. I was a swimmer for years and I noticed the biggest difference in my hair when I did that. Good luck!

Answer

This isn't exactly the product I was recommending. I picked up a cheap tub of argan oil hair mask at the pound shop and would put it on before putting my swimming cap on and the chlorine never dried out my hair over it and my hair smelled sooo nice! I'd def recommend!

Answer

Straight up coconut oil on your hair before you wash it, leave it for like 10 minutes then wash out how you normally would. After washing you hair apply some Aragon oil. Also use some hair skin and nails gummy vitamins by natures bounty
