Hair Care After Swimming
Hair Care After Swimming – Chlorine protects us from harmful bacteria that can grow in the pool, but it also has a negative effect on our bodies, making our skin dry and itchy and our hair dry and brittle. Amy Horvath, swim instructor and mother of 2, shares tips on how to protect and prevent the effects of chlorine on the body.

I showered as soon as I got home, but within a week my itchy shins had turned to blood in my sleep and my hair felt like it should be feeding a cow instead of on my head. Those few minutes made a huge difference in my body’s ability to protect itself with its natural barriers.
