Why Wet Your Hair with Fresh Water Before Swimming?

Hair that is fully saturated with fresh water has less capacity to absorb additional water, which can help reduce the uptake of chlorinated or salt water and the chemicals it contains.

1. Pre-Wetting
Thoroughly wet the hair with fresh water before entering the pool or ocean.

2. Sealing
Apply a small amount of conditioner around the attachment points to help create a protective coating and reduce direct contact with pool or salt water.

3. Braiding & Securing
Gently braid the hair to minimize its exposed surface area and reduce contact with chlorinated or salt water.
