3. Protect Your Hair
Before swimming in salt water or chlorine filled pool water, it’s a good idea to rinse your hair with tap water first. Doing this will protect your hair because each strand will absorb the water and prevent any salt or chemical from being absorbed. Room temperature or warm water works best for this hack because cold water will close the pores in your hair strands and prevent the tap water from getting in, only to later open when they are submerged in warmer swimming water.
