"Whoofta kassie, beside taming FrIzZ (thank gosh for Hamadi Leave In Conditoiner) in this HEAT, water issues such as swimmers Chlorine and Hard Water is a seasonal "Informed Beauty" topic as of late.
Chlorine (and other chemicals out of our shower head) is used in pools to help reduce the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. While that's good news for an infection, it's not so good of news for you and/or your children's hair. Chlorine leaves the hair and skin desert-like dry, split ends, dull, and a GREEN ray of dimension to your beautiful tresses.
Options to prevent Chlorine and Sun Damaged Hair.
BEFORE you get in the pool, we suggest rinsing your hair with water in the addition of a few Sprays of our NEW BABO Cucumber Aloe Vera detangler/conditioning spray. "This fills the cuticle layer, adds a UV Filter with Wild Pansey that helps resist effects of chlorine, salt and sun and leaves less room for the chlorine to seep in [and do damage]."
If possible, always swim with a cap, and/or coat your wet tresses with an moisturizing conditioner before getting in the pool which acts as a barrier.
The Effects
Exposing your hair to the summer sun, salts, and pool water can cause the following adverse effects to hair:
* Hair feels dry, brittle.
* Hair is difficult to comb through; tangles easily.
* Hair moves in sections; clumps together.
* Hair feels gummy, has a fiberglass appearance.
* Hair is discolored. Blonde hair turns green (often referred to as swimmers' green hair) and brunettes tint darker.
Chlorine and Copper are two elements in our everyday and pool water that can cause damage to your hair, scalp and skin.
Solutions
* Remove the build up of chlorine and copper that has attached to hard/swimmers' hair.
* Rebuild hair proteins that have been damaged by chlorine and copper.
* Remove discoloration caused by copper.
* Restore shine, manageability and health to hair.
* Replenish moisture that has been oxidized by hard water, chlorine, air and sun.
* Gently cleanse hair and remove elements without using harsh ingredients.
