Avoid dreaded swimmer’s hair with helpful products and clever hairstyles.
Swimming loses its appeal when you have to deal with your child’s chemical-ridden, tangled hair. With a few preventative steps and a bit of follow-up care, you can avoid the gripes and tears that often accompany those post-swim comb-outs.
Allison Tyson is a second-generation swim instructor, former lifesaver and author of The Lush Long Hair Care Guide. “I know first-hand the importance of keeping hair from distracting and tangling when kids swim in the pool,” explains Tyson. “I don’t want to spend the entire class pulling hair out of goggles or having kids stopping to wipe hair from their eyes or swallowing their hair.”
