    If you're a swimmer, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping your hair healthy. Chlorine and saltwater strip away your hair's natural oils, leading to dryness, brittleness, and even discolouration. But there's no need to panic just yet! With the proper post-swimming haircare routine, you can keep your locks healthier and shinier than ever.

    5-Steps to Healthier Hair

    Here's a breakdown of the best product for regular swimmers to repair and protect against chlorine damage:

    1. Rinse Immediately

    Start off by rinsing your hair under lukewarm fresh water as soon as you exit the pool or ocean. This helps to remove chlorine, salt and other impurities from building up before they break down your hair's health.

    2. Clarify and Cleanse

    Next, use a colour-safe clarifying shampoo or toner to neutralise any unwanted discolouration and remove any lingering residue and buildup that regular shampoos may miss. This is especially important for swimmers, as chlorine and salt water can leave a film on your hair, sometimes making it look dull and lifeless.

    Replenish moisture and repair damage with a deep conditioning treatment. This will help to restore your hair's natural shine and elasticity.
