Swimming + shampoo

Use vinegar and baking soda to remove chlorine.

I just got this stuff called Malibu C and I love it :-)

I have similar hair. A cap doesn't make it any better, but I can't imagine not wearing one. Doesn't your hair get in your face?

I've always used Ultra Swim, but now I make sure I buy hydrating conditioners. After swimming, I was my hair, then put the conditioner in and let it sit in my hair for a few minutes (while I bathe my body or shave my legs) before rinsing it out. Then, if I remember, I try to run cooler water over my head. That seems to help the conditioner do its job too.

It's something I've always had trouble with, so I just do my best. Sometimes I wear my hair curly and sometimes I blow it straight. When I swim, it always looks best when I go curly. But, I have to go really curly.

L'Oreal Kids makes a swim and sport shampoo that works really well. It's significantly cheaper than Ultra Swim. Ditto trigal on following up with a good conditioner.

That's what I use too.

Suave Kids Swim and Sport - it does good things for my hair and it's super cheap. I also do a coconut oil treatment under my swim cap once or twice a month.
