Have you found a good chleating shampoo yet? I use kinky curly, but i think aburey organics has one and sports few others.
Also put an oil and/or conditioner in your hair before you swim. And rinse with water before you get in the pool. As time consuming as it is. You will NEED to deep condition. Its critical. There was also thread about this.. ..
But yeah maybe a French braid to keep your hair from free flowing. Im not sure many have had success with swim caps. HTH! I'm sure the other ladies know more or can refer you to the other thread

bumping for you!

my only tip is to not let the chlorine dry on your hair
i'd thoroughly wash my hair with water, maybe for like 3-5 mins, then shampoo with a clarifiying shampoo
then protein, deep condition.
but that is soooooo long if you have to do that every single day
hope you find something that works for you!
