@tessapeay: What chlorine actually does to your hair 👇🏼🥲⚠️ • Strips your natural oils Chlorine is a disinfectant. It breaks down organic matter, including the protective lipid layer on your hair. That’s why hair feels dry and rough after swimming. • Lifts the cuticle Repeated exposure can increase porosity, leading to frizz, tangling, and breakage, especially on longer hair. • Turns hair green This isn’t actually the chlorine itself, it’s copper and metals in pool water. Chlorine oxidizes those metals, and they bind to the hair shaft. Lighter hair shows it most, which is why blondes can develop a green tint. Growing long hair isn’t just about what you add… it’s about what you protect it from. 💗 Follow for healthy hair all summer long ☀️🌊 #haircare #healthyhair #chlorine #summerhair #poolhair
