Answer 4

Chlorine is very damaging to hair. If you swim every now and then it's no big deal, but for a daily swimmer it can be an issue. Most people who swim a lot use shampoos and conditioners designed to help undo chlorine damage.

The chlorine dries out your hair which can cause breakage. It's not a permanent thing though, if you stop swimming in it, any new hair growth will come in healthy.
