Summer isn’t just about the beach—many of us spend hours by the pool. But chlorine can wreak havoc on your hair, especially if it’s colour-treated or bleached.
Over time, chlorine strips the hair of natural oils, causing it to become dry, brittle, and even discoloured. Without proper care, frequent exposure to chlorinated water can leave your hair looking dull and lifeless, especially at the height of summer.
To prevent chlorine damage, it’s important to take extra steps in your poolside hair care routine. The Ultima Boar Bristle Brush is ideal for keeping your hair healthy after a swim. The natural bristles work to redistribute your scalp’s oils, providing a nourishing coating that helps protect your hair.

After swimming, use a clarifying shampoo to remove chlorine buildup and then gently brush your hair with the boar bristle brush. This will help restore its shine and softness while preventing breakage.
Pool Hair Tips:
- Wet your hair before swimming to help prevent chlorine from being absorbed. Pre-soaking your hair with fresh water helps fill the cuticles and minimise chlorine exposure.
- Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil before swimming to create a protective barrier between your hair and the chlorine.
- After swimming, wash with a clarifying shampoo to remove chlorine residue, then use a natural bristle brush like the Ultima Boar Bristle Brush to redistribute moisture and keep your hair smooth.
Proper hair care doesn’t end at the poolside. With the right products and tools, you can protect your hair from chlorine damage and keep it looking fresh all summer long.
