How to Protect Kids’ Hair from Chlorine Naturally: Simple Pre-Swim Tips for Parents
If your kids love spending time in the pool or ocean, you’ve probably noticed how quickly chlorine and saltwater can dry out their hair. Tangled, brittle, or green-tinted strands? Yep — that’s chlorine damage in action.
The good news: You can protect their hair before it even gets wet using a gentle, natural pre-swim spray. Here’s how Active COCO’s Pre-Splash Spritz helps keep your little swimmer’s hair soft, shiny, and tangle-free all season long.
Coconut Oil: Nature’s Gentle Protector
Coconut oil forms a natural shield that prevents pool chemicals and salt from stripping away moisture. It’s lightweight, nourishing, and gentle enough for sensitive scalps.
Aloe Vera & Honey: Hydration Heroes
Aloe Vera soothes the scalp while honey draws in moisture — creating the perfect duo for keeping kids’ hair hydrated and manageable, even after long swim sessions.
Jojoba & Argan Oil: Strength and Shine
These oils help strengthen the hair shaft and smooth frizz. They’re rich in vitamins that promote healthy growth, which is especially important for young swimmers who are in and out of the water often.
How to Use Before Swimming
-
Spray Active COCO generously throughout your child’s dry hair about 10–15 minutes before swimming.
-
Comb through to evenly distribute.
-
Style into a braid or bun for added protection.
That’s it! The natural oils and conditioners create a barrier that helps prevent chlorine absorption.
Bonus Tip: After Swimming
Rinse hair right away with fresh water and apply another light mist of Active COCO to help detangle and restore softness.
