Whether you swim for exercise or fun, in a pool or an ocean, the fact of the matter is: it can damage your hair. Chlorine from pools, or salt water from the ocean, can dry out your hair. This leaves it more prone to breakage and frizz. Here are some ways to protect your hair when swimming often.

Wear a Swim Cap

The tried and true method to protect your hair while swimming is wearing a swim cap. Although it might not be the most flattering option, it’s the only thing that will truly protect your hair from any damage.

Oil or Leave-In Conditioner Before

If swim caps aren’t your thing, you can also put oil or a leave-in conditioner in your hair prior to swimming. This creates a protective barrier around your hair, which will help prevent the chemicals or salt from penetrating the hair strands. Although this doesn’t protect it completely, it certainly helps.

Rinse Before and After Swimming

If you have no other options, the best thing you can do is to rinse your hair with clean water before and after you swim. When your hair absorbs the clean water, it prevents the hair from absorbing some of the harsh elements of the water you will be swimming in.

Even if you often like to go swimming for fun, starting to swim as a workout routine is a whole different beast. It’s not easy, but it is incredibly effective and rewarding. Thinking of trying it out? Here are some things you should know first.

It’s Going to Be Hard

If you think you’re a good swimmer, think again. Because swimming is very hard. Demanding and technical, swimming workouts are not nearly as intuitive as splashing around in the lake for fun. So get ready for a learning curve. And don’t give up if things are difficult right off the bat.

It’s All About Breathing

There’s pretty much no workout on earth that focuses on breathing as much as yoga other than swimming. Yep, you’ll have to really put focus and effort into learning how to breathe correctly while you’re in the water. Because holding your breath will make things much harder on you.

Get a Swim Cap

They might not look cool, but when you spend enough time in a pool, you need a swim cap to protect your hair from the chlorine, reduce drag, and stop your hair from getting all over the pool. In fact, many pools even require them.
