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 

For an extra layer of protection and detoxification, incorporate our Zephïr detox shampoo and conditioner into your hair care routine.

The powerful formula of Zephïr removes chlorine residue, impurities, and build-up, leaving your hair revitalized, vibrant, and deeply nourished.

Post-Swim Care

After leaving the pool, your first task is to rinse your hair with warm water to remove chlorine residue.

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