What product can I use to get the chlorine out of my hair and restore it's natural oils after I go swimming this summer? My hairs naturally dry, and swimming and the sun isn't helping. Please help!

It also does not show on wet hair so you won't look obvious.
You can then use a special chlorine shampoo and conditioner. I do a lot of swimming and have coloured hair, but this method makes my hair feel very soft and keeps it in better condition than anything else I have tried.
As you do not say which country you are in, it is difficult to recommend any particular brand. However, if you are in the UK, let me know and I will tell you the products I use.
Hope that helps and good luck. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
uisforukelele answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 12:12 am: there is a special conditioner by paul mitchell that is for use after swimming in a pool with chlorine. i forget what exactly it's called, but it works wonders. but be sure to always wash your hair after swimming. i find that using two different kinds of shampoos cleanses my hair better than using just one shampoo after swimming. i normally use sheer blonde and/or paul mitchell, but that's irrelevant. go see if your grocery store has that special conditioner for chlorine. it should help.

Also shampoo and condition with moisturizing products- there are some that are made for swimmers but any made for dry or damaged hair should work- i like Garnier Fructis. Deep condition once a week. If a shower isn't available, bring a spray bottle of water and spritz your hair down; if it's really dry, bring a spray-in leave-on conditioner (Herbal Essences makes a good one.)
