Answer 2

I have a spray-on conditioner that I put on in the morning, usually after my morning shower after my first practice of the day. Then all I do is leave it in then go to my second practice, where I wear a cap. My hair is long and probably the best it has ever looked.

Answer 3

I am an avid swimmer and  I always put conditioner in my swim cap it helps a lot. It leaves your hair less tangled.

Answer 4

Don't know how helpful a swim cap is but according to a magazine I read earlier this month: Condition before you swim, and shampoo and condition as usual after you swim.  Works for anyone who doesn't want their hair to turn green.

Answer 5

i never do that but i've heard that it does protect your hair while swimming. i dont think that colored hair and chlorine go together anyways...even if you put a cap on your hair still gets wet.

Answer 6

no it just gets your cap all icky and slimy and gross and doesn't help your hair. a cap is all u need, no additional conditioner!
