What products should I use after swimming?

I have long, curly, African American hair. I have to swim at school for 2 weeks and I dont want my hair looking like crap. I'm thinking about rinsing it out well with water, putting some leave-in conditioner to hydrate it, and some Paul Mitchell pomade that has a hold to it to keep the curl in. I only have 16 minutes to change out of my bathing suit and get my hair looking decent. I need to do something quick and easy! Please help!



What products should I use after swimming?

I used to swim a lot and my friends always wondered why it didn't damage my extra-dry locks. In fact, my hair was even more beautiful after the swimming pool than before (no kidding!).



My trick is to apply oil on my strands before I put my cap and before I start swimming. Palm oil or coconut oil are great because they are solid at room temperature so you can be sure that you won't leave a greasy trail in the pool. After the swim, I shampoo as usual. But as my hair was protected from the chlore by a waterproof film and was treated to a deep treatment mask for an hour or so, it is nourished and doesn't need extra moisturizing. So this is a quick and easy trick (plus it's cheaper than any leave-in conditionner or moisturizing hair cream you could buy).



Hope this helps.

try going to some beauty brand store or whatever..and look for mineral shampoo. it cleanses the chlorine from your hair, preventing a dry scalp and restless hair.

there's a great shampoo and conditioner made especially for swimmers made by ICON. Use a thick conditioner under your swim cap if you chooose to wear one (recommended).

I've always put lemon juice in mine.



But, I think that deals more with the color then the hair...



Umm. Loreal makes some kid 2-1 shampoo for swimming.



I've used it before..
