icemaiden Nov 2014 1:51pm, 22 Nov 2014 4,249 posts	0 icemaiden All this swimming has been lovely but the chlorine is knackering my hair. Any recommendations on shampoos please?
Tomsmum Nov 2014 2:28pm, 22 Nov 2014 1,485 posts	0 Tomsmum Wet your hair (to prevent pool water from being absorbed) and then put on a swimming hat is the best protection. Then I use the Boots swim and gym stuff, my hairdresser recommended a paul Mitchell shampoo which strips out the chlorine but it's too expensive for me to buy very often. I suspect a dry/damaged shampoo/conditioner combo is the best way
