DID YOU KNOW THAT SWIMMING CAN AFFECT YOUR HAIR?

LET’S HAVE SOME HAIRDUCATION…📚📚📝📝📝

I bet you didn’t know that Swimming with your hair in chlorinated water does more harm than good to your hair.😪👇

The feeling of gliding through the water can feel serene until you remember the damage that the chlorinated water is likely doing to your beautiful hair.

Daily pool swimming can wreak havoc on hair due to the harsh chlorine found in pools; however, it’s possible to protect your hair from chlorine exposure and its damaging effects.

👉How does chlorine damage your hair?

Chlorinated water can make your hair dry and weak, which can cause breakage. While regular tap water contains chlorine, it usually doesn’t contain enough to be a problem for regular showers. But the increased amount found in pools can have damaging effects on your hair and skin with more frequent exposure.

👉Effects of chlorine on your hair.

Swimming pool chlorine is essential to kill bacteria, but it can do serious damage to your healthy hair if you’re a frequent pool swimmer. Chlorine strips the natural oils (sebum) your body produces to protect your hair. In addition to irritating your skin and scalp, chlorine causes your hair to:

👉Crack and split.

👉Strip your hair’s natural moisture.

👉Change the natural hair color (or dyed hair color).

👉Weaken, leading to split ends.

Casual swimmers don’t often see the effects of chlorinated water for example, a dip in the pool once a year on holiday won’t make a massive difference to your hair’s health. But it doesn’t matter if you swim once a month or once a day; people with specific hair types are more susceptible to chlorine damage than others.

This includes people with:
👉Thin or fine hair
👉Color-treated hair
👉Bleached hair
👉Chemical-treated hair
👉Dry hair
👉Thin of fine hair
👉Hair with existing damage

Whether you’re a regular or daily pool swimmer, you need to know how to protect your hair from chlorine damage, regardless of your natural color or hair type.

In the Next post we’d be discussing how you can protect your hair from chlorine damage.🙌
