One of the best parts about summer is spending as much time as you can in your pool. There is no better way to cool off, recharge and relax! But with all that time spent in the water, the chlorine can have a tendency to strip your hair of the natural oils that protect it from damage and daily wear, and it can turn dry and brittle and sometimes even green.
A great way to avoid this happening is to coat your strands with hair product before you jump into the pool. Oil and silicone-based products are best. Another option is coconut oil, which delivers shine and moisture to parched locks. You can also wet your hair in the shower before you jump into the swimming pool. This helps slow down the absorption of chlorine because your hair is like a sponge, and will take on less water when it’s wet.
If you want to avoid the effects of chlorine on your hair altogether, you might want to look into making the switch to a salt chlorine generator. Saline pools are becoming increasingly popular, especially since many families are trying to live a more natural, eco-friendly lifestyle these days. The water has a luxurious, silky-smooth feel to it. And unlike chlorinated water that can possibly irritate your skin, cause red eyes and dry, brittle hair, saline pools leave your skin feeling great. You also won’t have to worry about your hair turning green!
At Horizon Pool and Patio, we have a wide variety of salt chlorine generators, replacement salt cells, and related products for you to choose from that can keep your pool properly sanitized and safe for swimming. If you are considering upgrading your backyard experience with a salt water chlorination system, one of our Horizon Pool and Patio specialists can help guide you throughout the process and determine the best solution for your budget.
