Don’t let the pool water eat your hair (literally)

You already have what you need to protect yourself! 

In this heat we know the only way to make it bearable is being in the water

But chlorine straight to unprotected hair is like a bleach bath. Combine it with the sun and bam, we have oxidation and a chemical process happening on your hair. 

So here’s what you’re going to do.

Before heading to the pool, wet your hair with water from inside, squeeze out a good amount of excess water, apply conditioner pretty thoroughly, and leave it in! 

What’s happening is we are pre swelling the cuticle with a gentler water, filling the hair with moisture, and using the conditioner as a protective barrier. 

Then I love to put my hair in a braid or a low bun to keep everything together (but still able to wear my sun hat!)

I really hope this tip helps keep your hair healthier this summer and keep your eyes open next month for some more styling tips. 

Stay cool,

Jacqueline

PS, here is my favorite conditioner for all hair types that is super moisturizing without weighing anything down.
