Everything You Need To Know About Fixing Swimmer’s Hair!
Swimmers' Hair
The local pools are open. After taking the plunge, your hair isn’t happy. It feels dry and brittle, gummy, crunchy, and clumpy. It tangles easily, and if you’re blonde, it has a bit of a green cast. If you’re a brunette, your dark locks are even darker. Remove the elements responsible and restore hair to its awesome glory.
Professional Care
Repairing chlorine damaged hair requires a special approach.
First, to improve the look, feel and health of your hair of chlorine damaged hair, we recommend an in-salon chlorine removal treatment.
This service naturally eliminate elements (chlorine, bromine, copper, calcium, lime or salts) that can make swimmers’ hair look and feel damaged.

- Draws out buildup caused by exposure to pool, spa and ocean water with a crystallized antioxidant natural wellness treatment
- Lifts out green discoloration by removing copper buildup (it’s not chlorine, learn more)
- Removes chlorine odor
- Nourishes, strengthens and protects while preventing further damage
- Strengthen hair from the inside out for body and bounce

We recommend before entering chlorinated water that you first prepare your hair by wetting it (a simple spray bottle works best), and then applying a small amount of your favorite conditioner. This stops your hair from absorbing chlorinated water as it is already wet and the conditioner protects from further mineral absorption.
While chlorinated water will always have somewhat of an adverse effect on your hair, there is no reason to suffer from extreme chlorine damaged hair. Simple preventative measures and the correct hair care products and techniques make chlorine damaged hair a manageable situation! Enjoy the Summer!
