water sports hate good hair

Hello everybody!!!! To all who love water sports, be it swimming in the pool or sea... I feel for your hair :(

As you would have experienced, when you shower after swimming, your hair feels like CRAP. Well, not like crap CRAP... Just bad... it's dry, easily tangled... even after shampoo-ing + conditioning... Chlorine in the pool water destroys your hair! And the seawater will dry and dull your hair. :( no matter what you do after the activity, your hair condition seems to be worse than before...

HATE IT DON'T YOU! I DO! I love wakeboarding! but the seawater is sooooo bad for my hair, I actually thought of not going to wakeboard anymore... :(

UNTILLLLLL MY COACH told me this: "Just apply conditioner on your hair la! It will be easier for you to shampoo afterwards!"

And I tried... OMGAWD YOU MEAN IT'S THAT EASY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Yes ladies (and gentlemen), it's THAT easy. Just apply a generous amount of conditioner on your hair before engaging in any form of water sports. :D I'VE TRIED IT AND IT WORKS!

It reminded me of my hairdresser. He told me to replace conditioner with hair treatment cream or hair mask, because conditioner seals the cuticles of your hair. As your hair is coated with conditioner, it is difficult to absorb any hair treatment oil or whatsoever after the shower. Hence, DO NOT USE conditioner after shampoo as it's not as good for your hair!

p.s SORRY for the lack of photos... Shall upload my wakeboarding photos when i'm more PRO! teehee
