Hair Care for Swimmers with Natural Hair

If you live in the Caribbean like me you know that you are surrounded by beautiful beaches, and swimming pools its all part of the island life! So how do you deal with salt water when it gets into your hair?

The chemicals used to keep pools clean are harsh on any type of hair. Treating your hair before and after so that the harsh chemicals, salt, sun and wind doesn't dry, damage and break up your hair. 

Wetting your hair before getting to the pool is advised due to the fact that dry hair absorbs more chemicals. If you don't wish to get your hair wet its simple, just wear a swim cap. 

Wearing protective hair styles such as braids and twists are also ideal to protect hair for damage.

Also don't wash with shampoos after a swim, especially if u plan to get back in the water the next day. 

Try co-washing this is a good way to ensure that your hair doesn't get too dried out, it is also recommended that you follow up with natural oils. ღ Pretty Impression ღ
