Pool Protection for Bleached Hair
by: Anonymous

It certainly can. Bleached hair is usually more porous and will grab onto the chlorine. One way to protect your hair, if you don't like the idea of wearing a cap, is to rinse your hair thoroughly with plain water BEFORE swimming. Your hair will absorb the water, making it less able to hold the chlorine. Hope this helps.

Chlorine can discolor bleached hair and create a rough texture. Excessive exposure to chlorine can lead to brittle hair and a telltale chlorinated "shine."

You can use a special shampoo to remove chlorine from the hair. Here are two I like...

Malibu 2000

Joico K-pak Chelating Shampoo
