BEACH TIME- 5 TIPS TO PREVENT CHLORINE DAMAGE

The summer time sun can be very damaging to your hair. The chlorine in the water can do just as much damage. Since we all love to visit the beaches, pools, and the water parks this time of the year, take a quick look at how to prevent/minimized damage while in water:

1. PRE-WET YOUR HAIR- Wetting your hair before you get in chlorine water help eliminates the chlorine water from getting to  the shaft of your hair.

2. APPLY A CONDITIONER TO YOUR HAIR- This acts as a moisturizer and as a shield to protect your hair from the chlorine.

3. COVER YOUR HAIR WITH A SWIMMING CAP- Steps 1,2 and 3 together is the best was to protect your hair. (I am a former swimmer and I HATED wearing swim caps...they are not cute at all, but I will say when used properly they work)

4. RINSE HAIR- After you're done with the chlorine, rinse hair thoroughly with regular water. Club soda or vinegar also helps rinse out chlorine from your hair.

5. SHAMPOO AND CONDITION HAIR- You want to cleanse your hair of the chlorine as much as possible. A shampoo and a conditioner to put back the moisture in your hair will seal the deal.
