AQUA GUARD Pre-Swim Hair Defense Family Size | Prevents Chlorine Damage + Softens Hair While Swimming | Made in California | Color Safe, Leaves Hair Smelling Great | 16.9 oz

Amazing! Works very well! Keeps my hair from the harmful chlorine in my pool! No discoloration to my hair!Love it! Super soft, no tangles either. Good price

I like the smell and helpfulness of using this pre-conditioner. I smooth it in my hair, particularly on my hair along the hairline, and where my scrunchie goes, just before putting my cap on and swimming laps. When I go to wash out my hair after swimming, it is soft and not stripped of natural oils like it is when swimming without a pre-conditioner. It also seems to help my cap last longer. (I use a fabric-type cap with water resistant coating on the outside.)With that said, it is not great if I leave it in my hair longer than a few minutes before swimming. I have had a couple of instances where I couldn’t swim when I had planned and it dried in my hair and made it feel brittle and more breakable until I could rinse it out. It works great if you swim and then rinse off right away. Don’t let it fully dry in your hair if at all possible before swimming/rinsing off. If you do, don’t comb or brush your hair until you rinse it off. (I suspect this would be the case with most conditioners, honestly.) This is my second bottle—it is worth the money. It really helps protect my hair when swimming and I will keep using it.

Worked really well on my daughter's freshly dyed hair. We put a generous amount on before she got in the pool and she had very little fading.

I started using this product last swim season (roughly June - September where I live) because I was doing an hour or two of laps every day and was very concerned about the likely damage to my hair. I was skeptical, both because of the price and because of the additional "pre-swim" prep using this product added to my routine -- basically, having to wet my (long) hair in the sink, spread this stuff all over, and then drip water annoyingly on myself while I got ready to swim. (I also found the pump bottle extremely hard to get working when I first opened the bottle ... I'm hoping that's been improved since last year.)BUT. All this minor kabitzing aside, the stuff WORKS. It really does work. I swam in a well-chlorinated pool for two hours a day for four months last year, and my thin, stupidly fine hair did not become brittle or fragile or broken, as I remember it doing when I swam regularly as a kid. So I have just ordered another (expensive) bottle, because I'm too old to be sanguine about losing hair unnecessarily.Caveat: I do also regularly use a (much less expensive) chlorine-removing shampoo in my post-swim shower. But I'm still very satisfied with this product, which is why I just bought another (very expensive) bottle for this new season. :-)On a follow-up note ... the company that makes AquaGuard (Underwater Audio) makes an underwater audio player that has literally changed my swimming life. I can swim for literally hours now listening to CLEAR audiobooks and music while I do it. If you're not already aware of such products, I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Underwater Audio's Delphin audio player (and underwater earbuds). Worth every penny. I wish this company charged (a lot) less for AquaGuard, but I will always be grateful to them for my Delphin(s).

I apply to my damp hair before swimming and use a silicone cap, my hair is so soft and not dried out, even though I swim everyday. Great product!

The product arrived on time but was leaking from the cap, and also the pump doesn't work. It smells great and works well. My hair is soft and protected from the chlorine by this product so it does what it says it will do. Maybe the cap wasn't screwed on all the way. I am bummed that the pump doesn't work. That's the only reason that I gave the seller 3 stars.

This stuff really works! My daughter’s hair is very thick & long. I wet her hair thoroughly & generously use this pre-swim defense throughout her hair. After swimming, I rinse her hair, put it in a hair towel until not drippy, spray a little of their UV Leave-in detangler, and it easily combs out. No need to even wash it! Be generous with the Pre-Swim Hair Defense & you can’t go wrong!

3C hair and this product is like a miracle in a bottle. ZERO tangles, zero tears and we usually have a LOT, and such soft bounce. I just ordered 2 more bottles
