Nothing is more refreshing than a summer spent swimming, but it’s not so fantastic for your hair. Salt water and chlorine strip your strands leaving them dull, dry and prone to breakage.

It's Not Easy Being Green

Prolonged exposure to chlorine can give blondes, and sometimes brunettes, that dreaded green hue. High concentrations of copper in pool water reacts with chlorine, resulting in a chemical compound that binds to the hair cuticle. It’s even been reported that shower water can turn hair green. Using a Ph rebalancing shampoo like California Baby Swimmer’s Defense Shampoo & Bodywash does wonders at preventing this problem.

The Scoop

This non-invasive formula cleanses hair and soothes dry, itchy skin. Swimmer’s Defense contains coconut oil to add vital moisture and is ideal for parched or color treated hair. It contains organic and sustainably grown ingredients and is void of chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate and DEA.

Why It's Unique

Swimmer’s Defense is slightly acidic to counteract the alkaline in chlorine and salt water. Many clarifying shampoos smell medicinal or artificially fruity. California Baby’s formula uses essential oils such as lemongrass, coconut and gardenia to deliver a natural, citrus-y scent.

How to use it

Thanks to its gentle formulation and hydrating properties, Swimmer’s Defense can be used everyday or in frequent rotation without over-cleansing or stripping your hair. Since it acts as a two-in-one, it’s the perfect formula for men who don’t use conditioner, or anyone with limited time.

What the “Experts” Think

A recent New York Times article asked two Olympic swimmers, Summer Sanders and Aaron Peirsol, to test and rate a batch of new swimming shampoos. Sanders main concern was getting rid of the chlorine odor, while Peirsol wanted a shampoo that would keep his hair looking healthy. California Baby Swimmer’s Defense came out on top with both athletes. Sanders liked that it left her hair feeling clean, hydrated and smooth, and Peirsol was most impressed with its latherability. You can’t get a better seal of approval than from two people who spend most of their time in the pool!
