Watch the Pool Water

Swimming is fun and relaxing, but you do have to take some extra precautions before entering the water. Chlorinated water and constant friction from swimming will take a toll on African American hair. Pool water contains chemicals that can dry, damage, and discolor your hair. To minimize the damage, always wet your hair with tap water before entering the pool. This will "fill up" your hair with clean water which prevents it from absorbing as much chlorine. After you swim, rinse your hair with tap water again. It's also best to wear a hat if you plan to stay in the sun after you exit the pool.

 

Always shampoo your hair after you're done swimming for the day. It's important to use a shampoo that gets rid of chlorine and mineral build up. If your regular shampoo contains EDTA or Phytic Acid, it will provide thorough enough cleansing. You must also take the time to condition your hair every time you shampoo it, even if you swim every day.

 

This remedy will help reverse any chlorine damage to unprotected hair.
Combine:
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 cup pureed, peeled cucumber

Massage well into hair from scalp to ends, then cover with a plastic processing cap. Process for 30 minutes to an hour at room temperature, then cleanse hair with a non-sulfate based cleanser.

Make your hair grow faster and stronger

Eating well, drinking plenty of water, taking vitamins, getting plenty of sleep, and living a stress free lifestyle will promote faster growth of the hair. The hair is often a reflection of the entire body. A body that is healthy and well maintained will likely have hair that is strong, and healthy looking.
