Hair tip of the day: Protect your hair from swimming!

I don't swim because my ears get clogged, I burn and because I do everything I can to have my color not fade. But not everyone is that adament about keeping their hair color so pristine. When you do swim and have tint or hi-lites just do a few things to make it harder for the chlorine to penetrate. Even if you wear a swim cap it's best to hop in a shower and wet your hair (or dunk it in a sink) first. This ensures that the "good" water fills the hair cuticle so that the clorinated water can't. Then after swimming rinse well. Redken carries a swimmers line of hair care that is fantastic. http://www.redken.com/products/haircare/color-extend-sun
It leaves your hair soft and keeps it from fading (and turning green if you are a blonde). Now you can swim and have fabulous hair to boot! P.S. Don't forget to do a weekly Deep Conditioning!:)
