Should you wash your hair after each swim ?

Is the sea and pool on your summer vacation itinerary? Do you think it's necessary to wash your hair every day? So, if it seems essential to you, is it really? Is it absolutely necessary to wash your hair after every swim? TdeM tells you everything.

Sea, swimming pool, does water damage hair?

Sun, sand, salt, and chlorine—while these ingredients may be synonymous with relaxation, they also damage hair. Does it seem impossible to keep your hair from getting wet? In that case, it's best to provide your hair with good sun protection. Indeed, a sun oil protects your hair from UV rays that attack your scalp. On the other hand, it will leave a protective film against salt or chlorine that will keep your hair soft and silky. An oil based on jojoba or castor oil like resonance body and hair oil will provide real nourishing and revitalizing care.

Rinse thoroughly

After swimming, it's easy to notice that your scalp contains salt or sand residue. To avoid irritating your hair and scalp, it's essential to rinse thoroughly. If you don't, your hair risks becoming porous and fragile.

The crucial question remains: should you wash your hair after every swim? Experts tend to say no. Indeed, overwashing your hair tends to make it greasy. However, it's necessary to rinse it very carefully. Afterward, wash your hair a little more frequently than usual, but above all, use an ultra-gentle, well-suited shampoo.

Use a gentle, highly moisturizing shampoo

Using a gentle, even ultra-gentle shampoo to wash your hair after swimming will be necessary. Indeed, salt, sand, and chlorine can weaken your hair and irritate your scalp. It will therefore be essential to soften it. Made from all-natural ingredients such as almond protein, aloe vera, and coffee extract, range of shampoos offered by TdeM beneficially treats your hair. In fact, our shampoos moisturize, regenerate and repair.

Again, it's important to rinse your shampoo thoroughly to remove all residue. Otherwise, you risk weighing your hair down.

Make a moisturizing mask

While washing your hair after every swim isn't necessary for some, you should still pay special attention to your hair. Therefore, it may be a good idea to apply a moisturizing mask that will revitalize your hair fiber. In addition to the mask, you can also apply coconut oil or shea oil, in the same way you applied it before swimming. Thanks to its spray, our body and hair oil will give you perfect detangling, especially if you have long hair.

While some opinions may differ on whether or not you should wash your hair after every swim, one thing is certain: yes, swimming damages your hair. It's therefore essential to step up your hair care routine during the summer.
