Spring motivates us to do lots of things, including getting a new hair color. Gina Rivera, founder of Phenix Salon Suites gives some good tips about what to do when considering lightening your hair color.

Gina writes about the stress swimming can have on your hair:

Really, the stress on your hair is coming from all sides. The sun dries your hair, swimming washes out all the moisture, chemicals in the water can leave deposits on your hair, as can the dirt and dust from all those happy trails.

Chlorine can have incredible damaging effect on your hair. Remember to use Goodbye Chlorine Shower Gel after swimming to gently and immediately remove chlorine from your hair.

Competitive and recreational swimmers no longer have to live with the damaging effects of chlorine. We manufacture products that remove chlorine and return the pH balance and moisture to swimmers hair and skin.

Spring is a great time to change your hair, and exercise routine. If it includes swimming, then don’t forget to take Goodbye Chlorine products with you to the pool.

It used to be that swimmers with blonde hair wouldn’t go swimming, but now thanks to Goodbye Chlorine products, swimmer can follow any hair color trend they want.

Recently bleach blonde hair has been making a comeback in the fashion world. Here is an expert article on the subject of going blonde by Mellissa Hoyer.

How Swimmers Maintain Blonde Hair:

• Use a leave-in UV protection spray as this as this will protect your hair as it is at a very porous state once is has been bleached. You want to look like a chic, not tortured blonde.
• Using a ‘blonde’ shampoo each week should counterbalance any brassiness or yellowing of your blonde locks.
• Smoking can help turn you hair a fairly bad shade of yellow, so do your entire body a favour by giving up the fags.
• If you swim in a chlorinated pool, chances are your blonde may turn murky green as the chlorine attaches itself to bleached hair. Go the swimming cap.
• Just like your skin, remember to moisture your hair: summer and aircon takes it out of our skin and our hair is no different.

While these are all great tips, we would add one to the list: If you go swimming, don’t forget to pack the Goodbye Chlorine Shower Gel. Goodbye Chlorine was made by swimmers for swimmers, and it immediately neutralizes chlorine. Swimmers no longer have to fret having damaged hair or dry skin because of chlorinated pools.

Don’t worry. If you want to go blonde this summer and swimming is in your plans, just remember to pack chlorine removal shower gel.
