Summer Hair SOS

Regular swimmers know all too well that a steady diet of pool-water makes hair look bad and feel worse. Not only does it damage strands, but it can also give you an unwanted dye job. Chlorine itself is not the culprit here – the chemical actually causes minerals already present in water (like copper) to oxidize, hence the not-so-pretty green hue (think the Statue of Liberty). Blondes have it especially bad with the green factor, but bottled blondes have it even worse. In fact, any hair that’s been chemically treated will be more porous, and therefore, more susceptible to chlorine damage. On the bright side, there’s a lot you can do to keep your mane in shape while you swim. Throw your hair a life-saver with these tips.
