Avoiding chlorine green seems inevitable, but Beato Salon has a remedy that will help you avoid dry, brittle, green locks:
- Wet your hair in the shower before jumping in the pool. Make sure your shower water isn’t chlorinated.
- Wring out the water and apply Redken's Nature's Rescue Conditioner or Paul Mitchell's Wild Ginger Awapuhi's Conditioner to the middle + ends of your hair. You don’t need a ton- the size of a quarter will do the trick. Don’t rinse it out.
- Now put your hair in a low tight bun before jumping in to the pool.
Your hair is like a sponge. Whatever it soaks up first will likely sit on the inside allowing very little chlorinated water to make its way to the middle. By soaking the hair with unchlorinated water + either of these two nurishing conditioners, you’re protecting the majority of your hair and avoiding a very harsh removal process later on. After a chlorinated swim, always wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo like Redken's Clarifying Shampoo or Paul Mitchell's Shampoo Three. Even when the chlorine only hits the surface, it can still greatly effect the shine of your hair because it roughs up the cuticle (outer layer). Rough cuticles = brittle hair. After using a clarifying shampoo, once again, condition with moisture rich, Strength Builder Plus mask by Redken.
