Chlorine resistant Swim hat or turban

Can anyone recommend a swim hat / swim cap that keeps the hair nice and dry whilst swimming?
I have long hair, colour treated and would like to keep swimming pool chlorine off it when I go swimming!
I've bought swim caps off the internet before but my hair still gets damp underneath.
Does anyone have a brand they use that they swear by?! Smile

No, but I would wear a swim cap over hair that has been smothered in conditioner or hair mask.

I don't think such a thing exists - your hair is always going to get wet and please don't smother your hair in conditioner- if everyone did this the water would soon be too polluted to swim in.

Just wear a normal swim hat that is right on your head and do not touch once in the water.

Do not put conditioner on... as a PP said, it’s unhygienic, also, it will cause the hat to slip off.

I was a competitive swimmer for years with highlighted hair so know the rules here!

Swim Cap by Philip Kingsley is meant to protect hair from chlorine. You should be able to find bottles in the old design for cheaper!
