How do chlorine and copper build up on hair and cause these adverse affects? : :
Two elements in pool water can cause damage to your hair, scalp and skin: chlorine and copper. Chlorine is an oxidizer added to a pool or spa to kill bacteria. Copper is a mineral added to a pool or spa to kill algae. Most people think swimmers' green hair is caused by chlorine. The mineral copper is actually what causes swimmers' hair to turn green.
Your hair and skin become oxidized by these elements. The air and sun (also oxidizers) compound this oxidizing effect causing hair to become dry, brittle, and even discolored.
Chlorine, used in swimming pools, is a bleach and it does have a damaging effect on hair. Not only does it affect the texture and color of the hair, but it can also weaken hair at the follicle.
Application of vitamin C and vitamin E in the appropriate topical formulation applied to the skin under a UVB sunscreen with zinc oxide can add protection against UVB damage, including sunburn. Even after sun exposure and sunburn damage, vitamin C and vitamin E, when applied in an appropriate topical formulation, can help prevent skin damage due to the anti-inflammatory properties of these antioxidant vitamins. The same vitamins can help heal sunburns soothe skin and even prevent damage.
Damaged hair can be partially repaired by conditioning while you swim. Before beginning a workout, apply a protective conditioner to your hair and cover it with a latex or silicone bathing cap. Heat generated during water exercise or swimming will provide a heat-conditioning treatment.
