Okay, so water isn’t the villain. But you still want luscious, non-crunchy locks. Here’s the cheat code: Pre-wet your hair with clean water before swimming (it acts like a barrier against chlorine), and always use a conditioner after shampooing.
Conditioner seals in moisture and smooths the cuticle. Think of it as the “Thank you for not being a jerk” note you leave for your hair after a shower. Also, skip washing every single day. Your hair likes a little oil. It’s not greasy; it’s glowing.
