Question:
I know you can get the super expensive shampoos but is there any cheaper versions out there, or something else I may have in I can use. My hair feels hard and greasy after being swimming and I have washed it with ordinary shampoo, it feels yak!!
Answers:
DD used to swim 4 times a week and has waist length blonde hair.
She used to wear a swimming hat ever time but still needed to wash her hair straight after swimming. She used any shampoo as the expensive ones didn't really work and given she was only age 8-10 at the time she used half a bottle with each shower. She used to shampoo twice and then apply copies amounts of conditioner for dry/damaged hair and brush it through in the shower. She would then stand around and chat for 5 minutes and rinse off. I found the Tesco ordinary shampoo and conditioner (about 59p each for big bottle) as good as Timotei etc.

I've used this before too, and it's really great! And only about 79p a bottle I think!

Unfortunately I'm allergic to the lovely stuff they make the caps out of, blisters are not nice, so can't wear them, will try the Boots one.

There are two materials used for swimming caps. Latex which are more stretchy or silicone which are a much tighter fit and last longer.

I use Paul Mitchell No 3 shampoo for after swimming use. It's about £5.95 a bottle but absolutely brilliant.

My local £1 shop has speedo anti-chlorine stuff. I bought up a few bottles as I go swimming 3 times a week. Works a treat. They do a male and female version - differences are the female smells different and has added conditioner. They still had it in last time I was there. The female one comes in a blue bottle.. the male in a green and black one.
That's the pound shop in piccadilly gardens, manchester btw, but others might have it.
Home bargains also sell an anti-chlorine shampoo for £1.50 but not tried that one.
Answers:
Both my chiildren used go swimming 5/6 times a week, they used to use the leave in conditioner from avon. Also that if you put conditioner on before swimming and use a silicone cap it protects your hair while in the water.
Answers:
Thanks for all the replies, will try the £1 shop/home bargains when I am next there.

Answers:
Clarifying is a great thing to do about once a week but make sure you use a strong conditioner or a wax treatment like "henaria" after as the clarifyer stripps all your hairs natural oit when it takes off everything else
Answers:
I buy a product from boots which I put on my hair and then under a cap. I'll have a look on their site for you.
I learnt the hard way. I never use to protect my hair and I had to have alot cut off. Its still long but not as near my waist as it was.
Answers:
They also did a version in a tube which I prefered.
