AQUA GUARD Pre-Swim Hair Defense | Family Size for More Swims Per Bottle | Prevents Chlorine Damage + Softens Hair While Swimming | Made in California | 16.9 oz

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.

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.

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.

Works as described. Chlorine from pool water was tearing up my hair. I was doubtful, but it worked better than I thought it would. I'm happy with this product and would buy it again.

Just wow. This is my 2nd summer with a pool and I was desperate to find something to protect my hair and thought, why not try it. I'm so impressed. It makes my hair incredibly soft. Maybe it's still getting damaged, but it sure feels nice!

Buy Now! Helps keep my daughters weak hair from becoming more brittle. Use before swimming every time.

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 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).

Produto muito bom! Tenho luzes e faço natação. Realmente protege o cabelo dos danos da piscina. Recomendo.

Ordered a two pak this time. Great product but unfortunately both bottles had opened and leaked by the time I got them.
