Swimming daily can damage your hair, so protect it from chlorine. Swimming in the pool every day doesn’t have to be a worry since there are several ways you can keep your hair healthy:

• A good way to prepare for swimming in the pool is to wet your hair with pure water before entering. As long as the hair is completely wet, neither water nor chlorine will be absorbed by the hair/
• Another remarkable trick is wearing a swimming cap . Additionally, putting on the cap when the hair is wet enhances its sealing effect.
• A leave-in conditioner is your best friend. Apply it right before you step into the swimming pool to seal the hair against moisture.
• Both natural oils and conditioners will work. Chlorinated water cannot penetrate oil.

Avoid Wetting the Hair Every Day if You Have Hard Water

It is impossible to mix hard water with hair. Why? As a result of minerals in hard water, a stubborn film forms on your hair. Moisture is prevented from entering the film.

If you continuously use hard water on your hair, it will stay dry regardless of how you treat it.

If you have hard water, you may notice the following signs: 

• After washing your dishes in the dishwasher, you notice spots on them.
• A film forms on your hands after you wash them in water. 
• Despite not applying any hair products, your hair feels weighed down, frizzy, or lacks shine.
• Whatever products you use, your scalp is irritated after washing. 
• You don’t seem to have a lot of movement in your hair, or it feels stiff.

Hard water minerals can easily be removed from your water with a water softener. Whether you wet your hair daily or not, we recommend using one.

Avoid Daily Hair Wetting With Hot Water

 When you take a warm shower, you might think it’s convenient to wet your hair, but this can cause your hair cuticles to become very dry very quickly.

Your hair may feel dry after being wet with hot water, probably because the water was too hot.

To keep your hair moisturized, it is much better to use lukewarm or cold water.

Let your hair get a daily rinse with cool water. It will thank you in the long run.

Can I Wet Curly Hair Each Day?

You may think your wash’ n’ go style looks perfect on day one, but it is normal for it to flatten out after sleeping on it. A simple rinse with water will revive your wash ‘n’ go.

Spraying water from a spray bottle is the best way to refresh curls and waves every day. As a result of this water application, your hair will be remoistening the products that you applied the first day.

The curls can then be reshaped with your fingers. Adding fewer products is the best option. Regularly reapplying hair products can lead not only to scalp and hair build-up but also to hygral fatigue.
