2006-04-25 18:15:36 Chlorine can be very damaging to the hair. Swimmers should rinse their hair as soon as possible after swimming and shampoo once a day with a mild shampoo. Conditioners for dry hair are a good idea. There are products sold in beauty salons and at some swim meets which help take the "green" out of blonde hair. Ask your hair stylist. A rinse of 3 Tbsp. baking soda to one gallon of water is a good rinse before shampooing to restore pH balance.
