Micro Braids And Chlorine

Q: Can you swim daily with micro braids in a chlorine pool?

A: Of course you can. The braids will have a tendency to become looser after you swim but you can still do it. If you can find a loose fitting cap to wear over your braids I'd recommend that when no cute guy you might have your eye on is checking you out.

Also, it's really important to take care of your hair underneath the braids because the chlorine can dry in your hair and damage it badly (believe me I've been there before).

I suggest that before you go swimming you wet your hair with clean water and then use a mixture of diluted conditioner with water and spray it all over your braids.

What this does is create a barrier between your hair and the harsh chemicals in the pool water.

Always rinse your hair completely in a stream of fresh water after you come out of the pool and spray your hair with the conditioning mixture again until you get home and wash your hair properly.

Have fun swimming!
