What do you do with your hair when you're in the hot tub?

Right now I'm putting mine in a bun, and wearing a fancier shower cap that I found, but I'm thinking I could be doing something better than wearing a showercap.

Sometimes I will add coconut oil before I get in it, but I don't always.

Thanks.

I use the hot tub after my AA workouts. I have my hair in a high bun to keep it out of the water.

If I'm also swimming it gets handled like I do for swimming, if not- it just gets put up with a claw clip or a metal fork into a high bun.

I usually use a big claw clip on the crown of my head or I forget one a high bun.

I don't have the opportunity to soak all that often, but when I do my hair is up in a large bun.
love,

If I've been swimming then my hair is already in a braid or a bun. If not then I just go in with my hair however it was before. Then again, hot tubs are generally too hot for me to get more than knee deep, and my hair doesn't get in the water that way.

I oil it and put it up. :)

Thanks for all of your responses - my problem is that I'm in Minnesota, and if it gets wet in the winter it will freeze, and I don't want that to happen - thus the beautiful shower cap!

I just stick it in a high bun, and sometimes wet it down first. (Supposed to shower anyway, and it's a quick dash through the snow to the gazebo with the hot tub at the club.) Rinse and/or CO afterward.

Add some kind of oil or conditioner to it, then put it up in a high, very secure bun

Bun and never let it in the water.

I ruined my hair once by dunking in a hot tub on a winter night in colorado and my length froze.

Wet, frozen hair = shattered hair = millions of splits. It was bad. :( Don't let your hair freeze.

usually a big old top knot!!! Terrible amounts of chlorine in most of the hot tubs!

I never go in hot tubs. The water is too hot for me. But I put it up in a bun to go swimming.

Lazy, high, bee butt bun if it's a random soak and all I have is a hair tie on hand. It looks VERY silly and feels silly but it keeps the hair out of the water. If I have my claw things, then a high cinnamon bun.
