Chlorine in the pool was ruining my hair!

Every swim season I face the same problem.  As soon as I hit the pool, my hair turns into straw.  It's dry and stiff and I'll almost say crunchy.  In the past I tried to gel it up but that really made things worse.

This season I decided that I'm going to find the solution.

• I tried a body wash/shampoo and that can best be described as horrible.
• I talked to women on the club and the best advice I got was to use a bunch of conditioner.  I tried that and it didn't really do the job.  I used a 2-in-1 shampoo that didn't work.  Then I took a bottle of conditioner and is sort of worked, but I was carrying a lot of stuff into the shower at the pool and it was inconvenient. And my hair was still sort of crunchy.
• I went to a hair salon and they told me to use a deep cleaning shampoo.  I bought the expensive shampoo and that really dried out my hair.  I tried the deep cleaning shampoo with a conditioner.....again a bunch of bottles that I have to carry around with no great effects

So at this point, I'm considering cutting my hair really short and just living with it.  I am a bit vain, because I am a 45 year old guy and I have hair.  Minds you, I don't have as much hair as I used to, but I don't want to cut it all off.

I decided to try a swim cap.

Bango! that was the solution!  

That's it...I started using a cheap 2-in-1 shampoo with a swim cap and I have all the control that I need!
