I apologize if this is a duplicate kind of thread....I know there are threads out there on this topic, but I never seem to have any luck with the search function.
That being said:
I've just joined a gym, and there is an indoor pool. I *love* to swim, and would like to incorporate two swim days into my workout schedule. I would do my twice weekly CWC on those days post-swimming.
I'm looking for tips on how other longhair swimmers protect their hair in heavily chlorinated water.
What I'm doing so far:
Braid hair, slick with conditioner, fold braid up, put on Lycra swimcap (I tried a silicon one, I couldn't get it to fit over my hair, and my hair got wet anyway - the Lycra just secures it and I'm hoping helps keep the conditioner on my hair). Swim, CWC.
Is there anything else I can do? What are other people doing?
TIA :blossom:
