How To Protect My Colored Hair When Swimming In A Chlorinated Pool?
Posted by admin in Colored hair on 05 24th, 2009 | 7 responses
I dyed my hair around 5 shades lighter recently. I am going to start swimming everyday really soon. Will the chlorine make my hair lighter or will it wash out the color? And how do I protect my hair so that the color won’t fade or wash out?

Many companies make shampoo to remove the chlorine from your hair.
Use after each swim.
Just look in the section of your favorite store, they will be with
the other shampoo bottles.
Hmm, this is a tough one. Wellll, It probably stinks that you recently dyed it and now are going to swim soon, but thats okay. Chlorine can do a number of different things, including damaging the hair anyway, and I would say washing out the color. Im not sure that it will make it lighter, but my friend dyed his hair blue and it turned pink within the chlorine getting to it. To protect your hair, it sounds really odd, but you could use a swim cap. this is only if you REALLY want to conserve the color, it would be a good idea. Another idea to protect it, is to just get a good shampoo and conditioner. I also use detangler spray when swimming (after). Preferably, I would use a color conserving shampoo and condition, or there’s some that are made for pooools and chlorine, I would look under Loreal for that. Good luck, hope the color stays=D
I know that chemicals put in a pool are of a low concentration that unless directly contacted with your hair, won’t dramatically change your hair color. Even in public pools where they crank the chlorine.
However, shower after swimming, and use a lot of shampoo and conditioner right after, or at least rinse out what you can at the pool (if you’re at a public one) and then go home and shampoo and condition. Just don’t let it “sit” in your hair. You might see a small tiny amount of color loss, but it really shouldn’t be noticable.
Use a swimming cap and wash/condition with colour protect shampoo/conditioner. There are products made for “swimmers” to stop the “greening” with chlorine. See a professional for advice at a good hair product shop/slaon.
There are also colour protecting sprays that you can put in before swimming. I have one by Wella Professional.
Good luck
what you do is.. before you get in the pool wet your hair in the shower with fresh water. the hair absorbs this water and doesnt absorb the chlorinated water. and it would help alot if you wore a swim cap (not sure if your swimming laps or just playing around). also when you wash youor hair use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner..
i do this. i color my hair.. and im on a swimteam so constantly in the pool! my hair hasnt done anything funky yet!
I had a friend once who said add conditioner to your hair but that would be kinda icky in the pool….
a tight shower cap?
