Review: This stuff helps! - 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.
Review: It works! Love the Aquaguard! - The Aquaguard pre swim hair protector is fantastic!! My daughter is on a swim team and water polo team. She is in the pool 5 days a week for 2-3 hours at a time. This product has saved her hair! She applies it before swimming and wraps her hair up in her swim cap. Even though her hair gets wet, it hasn’t been damaged by all the chlorine. Her hair has stayed soft and healthy looking. It smells great too! Before finding this, her hair was always crispy and damaged. The Aquagurd is a fantastic product. We have ordered it several times and will continue to use it.

## Features

- Better than Shampoo - it stops chlorine damage before it starts!
- Prevents green hair; Protects natural color.
- Smooths and protects from dryness and brittleness.
- Maintains hair health.
- How to Use: Using AquaGuard is easy! Simply dampen your hair before swimming, and apply a generous amount of pre-swim hair defense- paying special attention to ends.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product improved dried out summer hair but not 100%
*by T***P on June 14, 2026*

My daughter has perfectly straight and fine long blonde hair. It always gets so dried out at the beach from the ocean, sun, and shampooing it everyday for a week. We applied the pre-swim to her hair before going out to the beach. We used the spray after her showers. This product definitely improved how dried out her hair usually is after a week, but it wasn’t 100%. Her hair was still noticeably drier than usual.
