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.

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