We all love that feeling of gliding through the water, but let’s be honest: chlorine and saltwater can seriously mess with your hair.. Chlorine strips your hair of its glorious natural oils, leading to a very dry, damaged and dull mane if not properly taken care of....No one’s got time for dry, brittle strands, but the good news is, it doesn’t take much to protect your locks. Whether you’re crushing laps or just enjoying a casual swim, here are some easy hair care tips from your JAYD crew that’ll keep your hair looking strong and healthy.
Pre-Soak: Your First Line of Defense
Before you hit the water, give your hair a good rinse with fresh water. Why? Because when your hair is already soaked, it won’t absorb as much chlorine or salt. Think of it as a pre-game move to keep your strands happy.
Condition Like a Champ
Rub a little conditioner through your hair before you dive in. It acts like a barrier between your hair and the water. A quick coat can make a huge difference in preventing damage. We swear by TRISWIM Conditioner—it’s lightweight, but packs some serious protection.
Cap It Off with Confidence
Let’s talk swim caps. If you’re not using one, you’re missing out! A good cap—like our JAYD swim cap—keeps your hair from getting too tangled and reduces how much water hits your strands. Pro tip: wet and condition your hair before putting on the cap for easy on and off. Want to grab your own? Check them out [here]!
Rinse ASAP
After your swim, make rinsing your hair with fresh water a priority. The sooner you wash out the chlorine or salt, the better your hair will feel. If you’ve got blonde hair that tends to go green, this step is especially important.
Condition Again: Because Your Hair Deserves It
After shampooing, slather on some conditioner from roots to tips to lock in moisture. Let it sit for a few minutes to give your hair a little extra love. Our go-to? TRISWIM Conditioner for its ability to bring your hair back to life after a day in the water.
The secret to keeping your hair healthy? Consistency. Stick with these tips and your hair will stay smooth, soft, and ready for whatever adventures you take on next.
