Ultimate Summer Haircare: Say No to Chlorine Damage

July 31, 2024 2 min read

Summer is here, and that means lots of sunshine and poolside fun! But chlorine can leave hair feeling dry, brittle, and dull. Don't let chlorine ruin your summer hair goals!

Understanding Chlorine's Effects

Chlorine is a great disinfectant for pools, but it can interact with your hair in ways that aren't so great. By understanding how chlorine affects hair, you can take better care of it throughout the summer. Chlorine can:

  • Strip away natural oils: Imagine your hair as a bunch of tiny straws. Those straws have a natural coating that helps them stay strong and shiny. That coating is made up of oils your body produces. Chlorine is like a super-powered cleaner. When it comes into contact with your hair, it's really good at its job – cleaning. Unfortunately, it's too good. It strips away that protective oil coating on your hair, leaving those tiny straws feeling dry and brittle.
  • Change hair colour: Pools often have a small amount of copper in them. When chlorine mixes with copper, it can create a green substance that sticks to your hair, causing your hair to have a green tint. Chlorine can also react with hair colour, especially treated or dyed hair. This can lead to fading or brassiness.
  • Make hair more fragile: Chlorine can weaken the hair shaft, especially when our natural oils are being stripped away, making our hair more prone to breakage and split ends.

 

Keep Chlorine Away From Your Hair

The pool’s calling, but you wanna keep away from all these Chlorine damage? Here are some easy tips to keep your hair healthy all season long:

Before you swim:

  • Prime your hair: Give your hair a head start by saturating it with clean, tap water. Pre-wet hair absorbs less chlorinated pool water.
  • Conditioning shield: Apply a leave-in conditioner formulated for swimmers. These create a barrier to help protect your hair.

After you swim:

  • Rinse it out: The quicker you remove chlorine, the less damage it can do. Shower or rinse your hair with clean water as soon as possible after swimming.
  • Gentle cleansing: Use a mild shampoo to remove chlorine buildup. Harsh shampoos can strip away natural oils, so opt for a gentle formula.

Deep Dive into Haircare:

  • Replenish moisture: Chlorine can be drying. Treat your hair to a deep conditioning treatment once or twice a week to restore moisture and elasticity.
