What to Look for in Conditioner for Swimmers' Hair

Swimmers need specialized conditioners to combat dryness and damage from chlorine and saltwater exposure.

1. Chlorine Neutralization

Look for conditioners that contain ingredients specifically designed to remove or neutralize chlorine, which can cause dryness and discoloration in hair.

2. Intense Hydration

Swimming frequently can strip your hair of moisture, so choose a conditioner with deep hydrating ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or glycerin to replenish lost moisture.

3. Strengthening Properties

Conditioners with proteins such as keratin or silk amino acids help strengthen hair strands weakened by repeated exposure to chemicals and sun.

4. Color Protection
