The Salt and Chlorine in the Swimming Pool
Before jumping into a swimming pool, you need make yourself well prepared for your hair. Do a self-check by asking yourself these questions:
Is Your Bond Ready to Contact Water?
If you wear men’s hair systems for a while and you might have heard of the 24-hour rule. The first 24 hours of a new application of the hair system is very important. You’d better avoid washing, swimming and even heavy sweating during this time. Your hair system bonding needs this period of time to completely work and cure.

When the hair is wet in the pool, it becomes very vulnerable especially when it is tangled. So before making your hair wet, please make sure to comb through your hair and gently remove any tangles. Better to braid it or wear a swim cap to keep it from tangling in the water. Also using leave-in conditioner can help the tangling condition.
