Ah, summer—the time for sunshine, barbecues, carefree days, and of course, swimming pools!
While swimming is a refreshing way to beat the heat, the detrimental effects of pool water on our hair can be discouraging. But fear not, lovely pearls, we have got solutions!
Read on to discover some invaluable suggestions that will enable you to dive into summer to your heart's content while keeping your hair looking fabulous!
Understanding Chlorine
Chlorine serves a vital purpose in pools by eliminating germs and bacteria, ensuring a safe swimming environment.
However, when it comes to our hair, chlorine poses a significant challenge. Our scalp naturally produces sebum, a protective and hydrating oil that keeps our hair smooth and shiny.
Unfortunately, chlorine strips away this sebum, leaving our strands coarse and brittle. Chlorine can even alter your hair color, it’s a strong chemical indeed! So how can you avoid that?
Pre-Pool Ritual: Water Immersion
Before taking the plunge, try immersing your hair in non-chlorinated water using a spray bottle. This simple step allows your hair to absorb chlorine-free water, reducing its ability to soak up chlorinated water from the pool.
Shield Your Hair with Protective Oils
After soaking your hair in non-chlorinated water, it's wise to shield it with a lightweight oil.
This not only helps retain moisture but also creates a protective barrier between your hair and the chlorinated water.
To create this barrier, we recommend using our Angëlia hair mask, or experiment with olive oil or coconut oil.
Rejuvenate, Safeguard, and Detoxify

Then, use a mild shampoo like Zephïr detox shampoo to eliminate the excess oil, and chlorine.
