Product Information

Jsyk, chlorine can build up on your hair almost like a mineral deposit. To counteract this, chlorine removal shampoos contain chelating agents—i.e., strong clarifying ingredients that can dissolve tough mineral and chemical buildup. The most effective chlorine removers are EDTA, sodium citrate, and high-dose citric acid, but gentler options (like apple cider vinegar and vitamin C) can also help clarify hair. Confused? Don’t worry, I personally tested and reviewed 14 chlorine-removal shampoos on myself and spoke with trichologist Shab Reslan and hairstylists Marty Harper and Meri Kate O’Connor for all the details on the best chlorine-removal shampoos to try, starting with a few of our favorites: pH balanced formula. We all know how brittle and dry hair can be after extended chlorine exposure. Swimmer shampoos have a specially designed pH-balanced formula designed to restore the natural pH levels of your hair. Since this shampoo can sometimes leave your hair dry, I recommend using a complementary conditioner to go along with it. You can research which ones would work with the brand and for you personally.

Much like TRISWIM, TRIHARD also offers a full product line to help remove chlorine. One unique thing about their conditioner and body lotion is that it’s designed for pre and post-swim. Wear a swim cap. While swim caps won’t keep your hair 100% dry or keep out all the chlorine, it protects the majority of your hair. You’ll find that usually, the hair around the seam of your cap will become damp (if you haven’t wet your hair already) One thing that might surprise you is that it’s not the chlorine that turns your hair green. It’s actually the copper in the other chemicals that turn your hair green! 🙂

Protect your eyes from chlorine and salt water

It can also mess with the chemical levels in the pool and to correct it, the pool staff may need to add more chemicals to balance it. Without chlorine (or other pool-cleaning chemicals like bromine) it wouldn’t be possible to swim laps without the pool turning into a petri-dish of germs and assorted nastiness. What does chlorine do to my hair? Chlorine slowly drains your hair of its natural oils and can cause your hair to fall out more easily.

We will disclaimer this with the statement that swim caps won’t keep your hair 100% dry. Nor will they keep out all the water. Some will seep through no matter how tight it is. They also keep your hair from getting drenched in chlorinated water for the duration of your swim! Should I put shampoo or conditioner in my hair before I swim? Wash your hair after your swim. Usually, the sooner you can wash your hair, the better. This can help remove any chlorine buildup that occurred during your swim. If you can’t wash your hair, rinse it out with clean water to remove the chlorine. Men should especially use swim shampoo if they prefer to swim without a swim cap. And usually, your standard 2-in-1 shampoo won’t be up to the challenge of removing the chlorine if you’re not wearing a cap. By the time you’re ready for swimming in open water in the spring, your hair will need some type of repair if not sooner. Why Do Swimmers and Triathletes Need Shampoos for Chlorine Removal?You need to remove the chlorine for your hair to be happy and healthy again. And, to have its natural bounce and vibrant colors. Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo: This is excellent for removing chlorine from your hair and lifting away residue and any pollutants (like salty ocean water). It works for fine to medium hair that is otherwise healthy and non-color-treated. How do swimmers keep their hair healthy?

I cannot recommend this brand enough! It’s really gentle on your hair while it works hard to remove the chlorine and other oxidized metals. You won’t have the compromise your moisturized hair for having chlorine-free hair. Prolonged exposure to salty water (from swimming or hanging out near the beach) can dry out your hair. When the salt and water combine in your hair, it creates a saline solution that coats your hair and makes it feel rough and gritty. Like chlorine, long-term exposure to salt water can also strip your scalp’s natural oils. What shampoo should a swimmer use? The sulfate-free formula works to calmly remove pool chemicals and any build-up without robbing your hair of its natural ingredients. This is more of a “designer” brand of shampoo, but equally as effective as the UltraSwim. The shampoo was actually recommended to me by a stylist friend who recommends clients who use a lot of product in their hair (hairspray, etc) to use this particular shampoo to flush chemicals from hair strands. It works just as effectively with chlorine, bromine, or whatever else your local pool is treated with.

Swimmers with fine hair

It’s recommended to dampen your hair, apply a generous amount to your hair, especially on the ends, and then do your swim workout. Aqua Guard strongly suggests waiting 3-5 minutes after you’ve put the shampoo in before going into the pool. After, you can use Solpri’s lotion for swimmers, but any lotion with Vitamin C will help moisturize your skin after your shower. And, if you missed any chlorine spots, the Vitamin C will take care of that. Features
