Swimmer's shampoos??? Recommendations needed please

[sillybigsausage]

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good shampoo to get chlorine out of hair post swims - oh and a conditioner that will help avoid the post swim scare crow look?

Cheers!!

Boots do a v reasonably priced range of hair products for sun and swim. Includes a shampoo, conditioner and a 2in1.

Sainsburys and Boots both do a dechlorinating shampoo. Sainsburys is cheaper, I haven't tried the Boots one yet. Boots also do the conditioner, not sure if Sainsburys do. Charles Worthington conditioner is very good - you only need a little bit. Dd uses a spray on detangler after swimming, but I can't remember the make. If I can find out I will come back and post again - I know we bought it in Boots.

kerastase shampoo
and conditioner
is the absolute best, I go swimming every other day and have found nothing else comes close. These two products have won lots of awards too.

whoops wrong link kerastase shampoo

Thank you!!! I will look at the Keratese, Boots and sainsbury's - many thnx

Boots is rubbish IMO - made my hair drier than the sahara. Definitely splash out on the kErastase.

Binky My hair is a bit like the Sahara ATM - will try the Kerates I think

Can I buy it in any supermarket?

Barking thanx for the links - and well done for swimming evey day. I manage 3 times a week (4 if lucky) but would love to go each morning if only I could

Oops I mean Keratase not Teese

Think you need to get it from a L'Oreal stockist - most hairdressers should have it in.

Binky?Barking - have just ordered some Keratase shampoo & conditioner from that link :

Hi Sillybigsausage, I got mine from my hairdresser but will be buying from that link from now on as it is very expensive - you only need a small amount though, which is just aswell!
Let me know how quick delivery is and what you think.
I promise you it's fab!

Barking - will do

I ordered last night so will expect it towards the end of the week. I went a bit mad and ordered 2 x shampoo and 2 x conditioner, so it should last for months. The postage is free on that website, whivh is gret!

i have very fine curly shoulder length hair and swim lots too, so it is pretty dry.

what sort of hair is yours barking, do you think that kerastase would be good for me?

the problem i have is finding something moisturising enough which doesn't weigh down hair.

Will keep checking the thread Sillybigsausage...
Fishie - my hair is thick and slightly wavy, so not sure with fine hair...the ones I linked to are extremely rich.... maybe just concentrate on the ends if that's where it gets dry?

fishie i have fine hair too and hate the feeling of any gunk on it, so will let you know how the Keratase feels when it hopefully arrives in next few days..IKWYM about "weight"

thank you both, i will wait to hear. i've heard fab things about kerastase too.

Well it has arrived - will use it over the weekend as I forgot to put in my swim bag this morning, so still have the old shampoo for today

Sillybigsausage - How's the hair?

Sorry for the hi jack but do you think the Kerastase would be good for hair that seems to get product build up with every shampoo? Honestly the amount of products I have got that I used for a week then spent a week washing with head and shoulders to get the build up out! I am using boots fragrence free at the moment but still feels greasy from the Charles Worthington dream hair one that I was using a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry about the delay - turned into Waynetta Slob over weekend and didn't wash hair for several days

Well Keratas made my hair look very healthy and shiney fo work yesterday (took 10 years off me LOL - from the back!!)

Feels slightly oily and gunky now, 48 hours later, but on balance that is better than the dried out bird's nest I have had on my head recntly!!

Thank you pistachio, do you think that would be ok for coloured hair too? I only have semi permanents done but when I used head and shoulders it completely stripped it so it faded so quickly. That looks more natural though??

Thanks Pistachio, I'll have a look at that one too!!

I find that my hair has really suffered as a result of my regular swimming exercise. I am currently doing some research to see if other people share the same experience and whether there is a genuine market for a new brand of hair care products that cater to the needs of the people who swim on a regular basis like me.

It would be tremendously helpful if you can spare 5 min on giving me your insight!
