I like to go swimming to try and keep healthy. Usually swimming 2-3 times a week. This is not good for the hair. The chlorine is drying and reduces the life of the colour. I have tried applying conditioner before entering the pool and an anti chlorine shampoo. These did provide some relief but they are not as effective as Philip Kingsley Swimcap.
This treatment is applied to damp hair and then combed through to ensure all the hair is covered. The treatment is water proof and protects against the discolouring and damage caused by the chlorine. It does work. My hair is always manageable and soft after swimming and I don’t have to use conditioner when I wash my hair during the rest of the week because Swimcap conditions while it protects.
It can also be used on the beech to protect from the Sun and salt water but being scared of Nemo I very rarely venture in the sea.
Swimcap is a far cry from the floral headdress often adorned by retired ladies during their early morning swim. You know the monstrous head gear I am referring to. I was made to wear such a monstrosity during swimming lessons at school provided unkindly by my Mum. The cap was gaudy green with fancy chrysanthemum shaped flowers stuck to every square inch of the. These flowers protruded from the hat like Medusa’s head of snakes and when the cap was removed it would tug at your hair and leave a wonderful floral zig zag pattern embossed onto the forehead.
Putting that aside I would recommend Philip Kingsley Swimcap for regular swimmers or holiday makers who enjoy the sun and the sea.
