If you love swimming but have a hair system, you’re probably concerned about the effects of water. Maybe you’re worried about losing it or damaging it, or you might wonder what your hair will look like after a swim. The good news is that there’s no reason to avoid swimming. Here’s what you can do to protect your hair system and enjoy the water.
Is Your Hair Real or Synthetic?
First of all, you need to consider whether you have a synthetic hair system or one made from human hair. Water, even chlorinated pool water or salty sea water, doesn’t damage synthetic wigs as much as human hair wigs. With that in mind, be sure to rinse your hair system after swimming, so the salt or chorine is less damaging, regardless of whether you have a synthetic or human hair wig.
Get a Double
Even with the best of care, frequent swimming can cause any kind of hair to become dry and lackluster. If you’re worried about damaging your hair system, one solution is to use a spare wig for swimming. You can use an older wig or buy an inexpensive one, and use it specifically for swimming and watersports. You’ll avoid damaging the hair system you use daily and keep your head covered in the water.
Secure Your Hair System
One of the problems when swimming with a hair system is that it can become dislodged. You don’t want the embarrassment of losing a wig, so you might want to use a swim cap to secure it. You can also use clips or adhesives designed for hair systems. Pay attention when diving into the water, as this is a risky time for hair systems to become dislodged.
Care for Your Hair System
It’s important to care for your hair system after a swim. First, detangle it, and rinse it in fresh water. Some hair care products help keep the hair system in good condition, too. They help prevent it from drying out and will make it look healthy.
If you love swimming and have a hair system, you can continue to enjoy it by using some easy-care techniques for your system. Get into a routine after swimming, so you keep it in excellent condition. A day at the swimming pool or beach is a joy, so get outside and have fun!
