Help! The pool is trashing my hair


 
I do a lot of competitive swimming and, though I wear a swim cap, my hair often looks green and glassy, with a lot of dead, split ends. I have tried everything from pricey swimmer's shampoos and sprays to soaking my hair in things like ketchup and honey, but my hair still looking unhealthy. I have been trying to grow my hair out for years, so cutting it off is not an option. Is there anything I can do to prevent my hair from looking so dead all the time?


Good for you for rocking a swim cap in the pool! Other gals take note—it can save your locks from a lot of damage.


Using products with silicon-based polymers can protect your hair and give it some shine. The chlorine may keep the pool clean but the chemicals strip your hair of its natural oils and moisture.

If your hair has already been sacrificed to the pool gods what you really need is a lot of deep conditioning and moisturizing. Avoid dying, drying, perming or using other heat tools on your mane.

And, as much as you hate to lose length, once your ends split they will only continue to travel up the shaft of your strands. That means the healthy hair will be ruined until you lop it off. Split-ender menders can provide a quick fix until you can get in your stylist’s chair.

I always see makeup that would make green and blue eyes more pronounced, but not for dark brown eyes (the color of my eyes). Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make my dark eyes pop, but not making it look to goth?




Hey girl,

Using any brown shades (light on the eyelid and darker right underneath the brow), should really bring out the color of your eyes. Be sure to use natural shades so that it doesn't look too dramatic (no blacks). Good luck! x0x0

In the Summer like I always get super tan even when I don't want to. I always put on Sunscreen but whenever i go to the pool. An hour later I am like a shade tanner than i wa before. Is there any way I can like avoid getting tan this summer?????????




Hey girl,

The only way to really prevent this is to cover up with a hat, longer sleeves (in a light fabric so you don't overheat), and plenty of sunscreen. That's just your skin's natural response to the sun, so you'll have to reapply faster than other girls do. Listen to your body though - and do what ya gotta do to protect yourself!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!! My legs are unevenly tanned. My thighs are totally white, but my central part of the legs are totally tan, and then my feet are really white. It's totally humiliating, and I'm starting to shy away from shorts and flip-flops. How can I wear shorts and flip-flops without using tanning spray?

Hey girly,
You might want to keep wearing those shorts or flip flops. That is the best way to tan out your legs and feet so that everything is even. Good Luck!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! Is there any way to curl your hair without using a curl iron? And if so, how much would it cost?

Hey girly,
You could try braiding your hair into small braids and going to sleep with them still in. You also can't go wrong with classic curlers. Those things are pretty cheap and you can find them in your local CVS or Walgreens.
