1. Apply conditioner or hair oil
It’s highly advisable to apply a deep conditioner or natural oil like coconut oil to your hair to prevent dryness before going into the pool.
This helps to create a layer between your hair and the chlorine and other chemicals in the pool and also helps nourish the hair follicles.
2. Shower before you swim

However, for maxim chlorine resistance, it’s best to wash and condition first.

Use a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles after washing. Avoid using blow dryers if you can, as that will limit damage to your hair.
5. Wash after swimming
After swimming, use a sulfate-free shampoo to wash your hair and skin in order to get rid of all those chemicals.
