How do you protect your hair from chloring when swimming in a pool?

Your hair is like a sponge. Keep your hair in good shape by always conditioning your hair. Before you get into the pool saturate your hair with fresh water. This will prevent your hair from absorbing the chlorinated water. When you're done rinse your hair and wash with dechlorinating shampoo. Wearing a swim cap also helps. If you do wear a swim cap, you can coat your wet hair with leave-in conditioner.

I am a contact-wearer and avid swimmer (9 years of swim team)\nI do wear my contacts in the pool.  I try not to open my eyes as much because the chlorine does dry them out. Usually I wear goggles when I am swimming laps.  The water doesn't get in my eyes.  If you're going to a water park you're probably going to be in wave pools and slides and such. I'd say you're going to be safe wearing your contacts. Bring a spare pair, as well as your glasses just in case.  You'll also probably want some re-wetting drops since the chlorine dries out your contacts.  \nBasically\n*Don't open your eyes underwater a lot\n*Don't rub your eyes (increases chance of knocking one out)\n*Have spares and glasses just in case.\nMainly, don't worry about it and have fun.  If one falls out don't try and put it back in though.. it'll be ruined.\n\nGreg

One method puts pressure on the scalp (scalp tourniquet) to block blood flow, thereby preventing the drugs from damaging the hair follicles. Another method uses ice or cooling devices (scalp hypothermia) to decrease the amount of drug taken up by the hair cells. Lastly, certain medications have been used to prevent alopecia.\nto treat an irritated and red scalp and minimize hair loss include:\n• using a mild shampoo\n• using hair brushes with soft bristles\n• avoiding the use of hair dryers, hot curlers, and curling irons\n• using the lowest setting on a hair dryer (if a dryer must be used)\n• avoiding hair dyes\n• avoiding permanent wave solutions\n• wearing sunscreen or a hat when outdoors\n• using a satin pillowcase

Put green dye in the pool water and tell her she can't swim till the system filters it all out.

You can help yourself by avoiding the use of corrosive shampoos with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=235&i=17\nConsider making your own or finding shampoos that do not contain this corrosive detergent in them,\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=235\n\nRinse out your hair with apple cider vinegar you get from a store and take one tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar with a tablespoon of cinnamon for flushing your thyroid, liver, kidneys, and galbladder.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1

If you have a pH kit and residual chlorine tablets, start by measuring the pH. If it is above 8 there's no point in adding chlorine (bleach) to this water until you've acidified it, that is , lowered the pH to around 6. You do this by adding a pool pH corrector (acid) until you have the right pH. Then you start dosing the bleach. Add 300 ml bleach) per M3 of water. The pump and filter should be running. Measure the residual chlorine after 1 hour and you'll probably find it's zero. Add the same dose  again, wait an hour and remeasure the free chlorine. Keep doing this until you start to get a free chlorine value with the tablets. This will take some time because the algae will be consuming the bleach as it is killed..The more algae you have the more bleach you'll need and the longer it will take. Don't be impatient, you'll get there in the end and your pool will clean up.

You may have better luck draining it first. Once thats done clean it with what ever, dish soap even. When you fill it back up with water, add two caps full of bleach every four days. That will keep the slime from comeing back and not enough  to hurt the kids. Kmart used to have small tablet of clorine for kiddie pools.

The only option I can think of is buying one of those large backyard pools that you fill up yourself and use your hose to fill it up, since that water doesnt affect you. I am allergic to chlorine so I need antiheistamines whenever I go swimming in a pool, and sometimes even when I drink tap water that hasnt been filtered. I have no problem in the ocean or river though. Rivers are fresh water and are generally cleaner than the water we drink. I cant stand the salt in ocean water and can react to that too though. GL with finding a solution.

The chlorine found in pool water breaks down the oils and wax than protect our eardrums, leaving them open to infection.\n\nThe higher the chlorine level, the greater the risk becomes. In pools using "alternative sanitizers" the risk of ear infections is reduced due to the lower chlorine levels required.

Just make sure you are swimming slightly b/c if you are not moving you will get a heat shield ora thing around you. Similar to that fume thing when you put gas in your car.

You can put some bounce sheets thru hair. Use static guard. Use an antifrizz serum. I like to use hand lotion after i rubbed it into my hands. You can use a metal coat hanger as well. Use conditioner in the hair as well. I would advise to put on sweaters before drying hair, when you pull it over head the electricity is alot. Good luck!

Not that I know of!  Do you not want to get it wet or are you concerned about chlorine damage?  If you are worried about chlorine damage then put a little conditioner in your hair before puttting the cap on.

It is caused by many different reasons,my children get it when they go swimming,they do not remove the clorine from their hair and this dries the scalp skin and it starts to flack in some areas only,this can also be caused by fungi.\nit is usually the skin of the scalp,it sometimes becomes hard and thick and comes off when you comb your hair.\nit is dry dead skin yes but at times some fungus makes it thick amd very hard too.\nIn kids it is usually caused by not removing the shammpoo well or the conditioner too the clorine in the pools also contribute.\nOILING THE HAIR OFTEN HELPS A LOT.

Public pools and locker rooms are hot beds for germs. Plus the chlorine from the pool, while it supposedly disinfects the water, nevertheless can be a source of distress, especially if the chlorine levels are not carefully monitored. Chlorine is a dangerous element, a toxic poison on its own, and when it is overdone, it can be toxic to the body. Even taking a shower, one is breathing in the chlorine gas as it steams into the air. I would stop going to that pool; your body is trying to tell you something. Use echinacea and goldenseal to overcome any infection you might have, as well as monolaurin (lauric acid), if  you can get your hands on it.

Mostly they add sodium hypochlorite or bleaching powder to swimming pool for disinfection. It is the active oxygen in these products which kill the organic matter of the bacteria and virus, leaving them dead. It is not chlorine gas which is evolved, rather it is active oxygen which is evolved and it is also corrosive to skin. Avoid using swimming pools when it is smells a hell of chlorine.

After swimming rinse your suit out in Woolite or use a chlorine neutralizing shampoo. Put the non-chlorinated suit in a bucket with just enough water to cover the suit then add the Woolite or shampoo. Soak for about an hour them rinse thoroughly with fresh clean water. Do not wring out your suit. Place in a large beach towel them roll it up tightly to remove excess water.
