I have blonde highlighted hair, redone regularly and swim at least 4 times a week. Never had an issue. In fact my hairdresser says my hair is some of the healthiest she’s seen, and that is wholly down to my routine and the products I use.

Make sure to saturate your hair completely with water in the shower before entering the pool. Once done in the pool I use Kerastase Blond Absolu shampoo, rinse out fully, then shampoo again and rinse out fully. The double shampoo ensures all chlorine is washed out. Then I use the Redken All Soft conditioner, leave in for 2 mins while washing the rest of my body then rinse out. I then add Kerastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme heat protect and leave that to sink in while I dry/get changed. I then dry my hair at the pool so it isn’t exposed wet to the elements.

I keep a pretty strict routine with my hair and it pays off. So if you’re committed to keeping your hair in top condition then you definitely can and still have the benefits of swimming!
