My highlighted hair turned from soft and fine to hard like rocks sticking together and crunchy. I can’t stand a swimming cap with my long hair. What can I do? Is it damaged that bad or is it build up?
@@SC00BYD0PAPA umm when i asked as i remember i meant closed swimming pool so that's why i thought 🤔😅 but since they mean open air .. it's clear nd thank u 🙏🏻
I'm a hairdresser, and I recommend to clients to also wet hair at home with regular waterbefore going to the pool and apply conditioner, leaving it in. If its long enough, braid it. That way when you get in the water you have at least a little bit of a barrier first and it doesn't absorb quite so much chlorine. Is this good advice, or pointless?
Yes, my hairdresser told me the same thing, I would wet my hair, use a little conditioner and then a swim cap. Had to be careful not to use too much, otherwise I'd get a conehead! But it worked, also wet my whole body in the shower with my suit on before entering the pool. The night before I would use a body lotion on my skin also. It would be absorbed in my skin and would not come off in the pool. I could tell the difference in my skin and hair if I didn't take these steps.
As a competitive swimmer and having to swim everyday my hair gets so dry but when I use leave-in conditioner the night before my swim cap slips off every time, so it’s hard to keep my hair healthy☹️
Hi! This is an old comment but I'm going to reply anyways. Yes absolutely wet your hair and tie it up so it doesn't soak up a bunch of pool water, but please don't apply a bunch of conditioner before jumping into a pool. I say this as a former competetive swimmer that tried shit like this before and as a former lifeguard who got to clean up the mess afterwards. You are leaving behind a gross oily film on the water and, especially if it's an indoor pool, you are literally making the air condition worse for your health and the health of everyone around you. Just get your hair completely soaked with normal water, wear a cap, and wash it as soon as your done. Theres shampoos and conditioners specifically made for swimming that designed to pull out the chlorine and metals and whatnot, there's deep conditioning treatments, I personally found apple cider vinegar rinses to be pretty effective when I was swimming with bleached hair. You have plenty of effective options that don't make things worse for the people around you.
One more tip: wear a rash guard top (like a T-shirt for swimming) to protect yourself from the sun. Once you get used to it, it's a must-have for sun protection. There are some really cool-looking ones on the market, too.
Australian beauty store Mecca (like an Aussie version of Sephora) even sells rashies and sun hats as supplemental beauty treatments. We even have Ugly Christmas Rashies as Christmas is beach time down here.
I was supposed to go on vacation to Mexico so I was well prepared - several swim suits so I can change, water resistant hats for while in a pool, wide brim hat for outside of the pool (basically giant umbrella on my head), giant sunglasses, tons of SPF, several upf 50 rashguards for swimming and UPF 50 scarves and cover ups for while being out and about. Of course none of that happened during corona but I was ready lol
I really want her to make a video for acne prone skin that is in the water all day. I’m a competitive swimmer and I’m always broken out during practice.
I'm a mobile Swim Instructor and spend upwards of 6 hours in Summer driving from pool to pool. I use an eczema lotion on my body, (I dont have eczema) and wear a longsleeve rashguard, long swim leggings, gloves, a full coverage hat and sunnies and/or uv goggles. I keep hydrated have a portable shower, dry off after each session, keep my hair up and ears out of the water when possible. I keep sunscreen on me at all times, stay in shade when possible and after work, shower with a vit c shampoo/body wash, and slug my skin with eucerin. I also take heliocare suppliments, consume plenty vit C and antioxidants.
I'd love to see a similar video on swimming in the sea. Where I live it is very common for people to get jelly fish burns and I'd love to know your expert opinion on how to treat them. The general consensus is that the best solution is to apply vinegar to the burn as soon as you get out of the water, but I can't imagine that's good for the skin. What would be the best way to treat a wound like that? Love your videos, please keep up with the great work!
I have three uv protective shirts now...longsleeved (they actually cover most of the hands as well, with those neat little openings for the thumbs) and (get this): hoods! They’re so thin and lightweight, I hardly notice, I‘m not in a short top. Perfect, for being outside for hours. Highly recommend!
BERNIE BABE: As I stated in my comment above, Dr Dray has recommended T/Sal in some of her dandruff & hair care videos. Type “dr dray dandruff” in the RUclips search bar to find videos on this subject and then go into the description box of these videos to see if T/Sal is listed.
Be aware not to use it on your hair(will cause breakage) , only on the scalp, and leave it one for a few minutes. She has videos about oily scalp skincare, check it.
Wished this video existed years ago, and I had seen it, when I used to swim a lot. Hell! I wish I had found your channel earlier. Another tip is to apply oil and soak up the hair with tap water before putting on the cap. Wearing a cap won't prevent hair from taking up water from the pool, but, in theory, if it's already wet it won't take up that much.
I second the notion of doing a running/jogging tips video! would be super helpful as the days get longer and the evening runs turn into afternoon runs :D Love your content great video! happy Friday
You’ve changed my whole family’s skin care routine! Thank you thank you thank you. Such a genuine and kind person ❤️ would you consider doing a video on anti-aging body care? Is there any point in using retinol body creams for example!
Hey everyone! Thanks for the tips Dr Dray. I've been away for a little while having lost my only sibling so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things now. I'm watching most recent videos first. Hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe! Say hello to your mom and give Tybee a hug for me dr. Dre. I would love to just hold the Tybee right now, animals are great emotional support.
When I was 14, I lightened my hair, went into community pool, and my hair turned green. My friends nicknamed me Kermit! Lesson - wear a cap if you color your hair. 😎
Years ago I read that the green is not caused by chlorine but the fact that the pool chemicals cause oxidation of the copper plumbing pipes and the oxidized copper (which is a greenish blue) dilute into the pool water. Lightened hair can be very porous so it will absorb the copper more readily. Very light natural blonds will also show the green more readily.
Hi Dr Dray, I'd love to see you do a similar video on running/jogging outdoors in the sun, it has been difficult trying to find an SPF that doesn't sweat off, any recommendations?
Walgreens clear zinc spf 50 has worked well for me! It’s cheap,drys matte, fragrance free, water resistant, has a slight white cast when applied but drys down in a few minutes to a 99% clear coat. Also hasn’t once made its way into my eyes so far! Dr.Dray hyped these sunscreens up in her Walgreens shopping video!
Thank you so much for this info! My little girl has a foot rash that was caused by the pool, glad to know it will go away and I will now be drying her feet and making sure she’s not barefoot 😊
Great video here Dr. Dray for the swimming pool dwellers on this sunny Friday☀️ Thank you for your consistent awesomeness I appreciate it👌🏻 It feels like I haven’t been in a swimming pool since Lazarus came forth. Have a wonderful weekend! ☕️⭐️☕️⭐️
First thing I do as well, it's like we're having a coffee together lol. Although I don't own a mug the size of my head 😂 I was up really late the other night and her posts pop up around 4am eastern standard time.
Happy Friday Dr. Dray✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Any tips for deep nasolabial folds? I am in my early twenties and can't figure out what's causing them. I tried sleeping on my back thinking maybe it was me pressing my face on the pillow at night but it doesn't help 😭 Thanks 😘
For girls who dont want to wear a swim cap (it pulls out my babyhairs 😥) is it helpful to put on some argan oil, vaseline and braid my hair before swimming? That's what my mother always did for me as a child
I’m glad that I’ve found this channel. I hope that you can advise on what to do in a situation like mine. My daughter is supposed to have swimming class as a requirement. A couple of years ago she developed a severe reaction to chlorine due to a daycare provider who didn’t have the kids wash chlorine off after swimming all day. Now her skin gets chemical burns when in chlorine. Are there any products that actually work to prevent the burns and hyperpigmentation? It took 8 months to go away! Are there any pool alternatives so that she can still learn how to swim without fear of burning? Any advice?
I'm no expert and my situation isn't identical to your daughter's, but my skin used to react to chlorine (painful red bumps/rashes, not burns so again my situation is slightly different), but for me it worked to cover myself with a thick "waterproof" sunscreen [and if I was gonna be in too long, I'd have to rinse off, dry off, and reapply]. And I do mean a thick sunscreen, sprays never worked, even if they claimed to be waterproof. And beware of bathing suits rubbing off areas of the sunscreen (especially legs and arms). Oh and has she tried salt water pools? They are supposed to be easier on skin, though she may still wanna cover somewhat especially if she's still sensitive. side note: unless the bottom of her feet react, I highly recommend NOT putting sunscreen on the bottoms of feet cuz it's a major slipping hazard. if the bottoms of her feet do react, she'd have to wear shoes or put on sunscreen while sitting by the pool and go immediately in and not come out a lot cuz sunscreen, especially waterproof, is far slipperier than people realize
Dr dray please make a vid on sunscreen for sensitive skin with optimal protection it’s hard since usually the higher the protection the higher risk of irritation
I think I must be an oddball because I've never enjoyed going to outdoor swimming pools. Call me lazy, or whatever, but it's such a big production between sunscreen/hair/wet bathing suit/bugs/wet flip flops or scalding hot cement etc., especially if there isn't an outdoor shower. I prefer going in the evening (for the exercise) sans the potential mosquito. Lol
Do you need to towel dry if you're applying moisturiser immediately after showering (as per home bathing)? I assume the towel dry tip is if you're lying around the pool as opposed to using an indoor pool whereby you shower and dry off afterword? Many thanks 💚
Not dr dray...but I would think since vaseline acts like a sealant applying that first and then the sunscreen on top would be best as it wouldn’t interfere with the filter protection against the uva/uvb rays
Great tips, Dr Dray. I haven't been in a pool in years! I live just a few steps from a river and don't swim in that either! I do like the ocean though which is only a few hours away. Happy Friday! I hope you sweet momma is doing well. Hugs for her and little Tybee. Have a beautiful evening. ❤
Love your great vids @drdray 👍❤️ do you have a video or would you please do a video on best cleansers to remove sunscreen? Especially Sensitive skin types really need to learn from someone trustable like you how to get the white cast hard to remove sunscreen off. Thank you❤️

Greetings Dr.Dray hope u r well n what a Wonderful Vlog.... thanks 4 Sharing these 10 Helpful Tips we will Need Them This Summer👍n Continued Blessings😀💜n Question please what’s your Thoughts on Cerave Moisturizing Lotion.... is it good as a Final Step🤔....
I swim regularly with my 18 months daughter .Now i will my skin and her skin is really getting dry and dark . I have ordered anti chlorine lotion and water resistence sunscreen. I am not sure when to apply sunscreen and when anti chlorine lotion.
I swim in the pool everyday, so I love this video! TY Dr Dray! The kids La Roche Posay seems not to be available anymore. Would it be good to use their Baby formula in the pool instead?
Hi! Do you have recomendations for swimming caps? Latex or silicone? Is it a problem if you wear for a long time? Maybe a video about it would be great! Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for these tips, they were much needed. There are loads of lakes where I live, are there any particular precautions I should take when swimming there besides the sun-related ones?
Hey doctor, is it better to wear a completely covered swimsuit from collar down to avoid chlorine damage? In that case, is it sufficient to wear water resistant sunscreen only on the neck, face, hands and feet?
Help, my fingernails have delaminated, my toenails are also suffering. I take 5 aqua aerobics classes weekly - all European pools are chlorinated by decree/law, but I guess the side effects were not known when legislation passed. How/what can I use to protect myself. I steam and shower before and after every aqua class. Help please.
Hi Dr Dray, is benzoic acid and sodium benzoate considered fragrance? I have an allergy to balsam of Peru and don’t know whether to avoid these ingredients? A lot of fragrance free products contain these 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Dr. Dray, have you heard/tried AquaGuard Pe-Swim Hair Defense? I wonder if this is better - protect hair from chlorine (before swim) vs doing a chlorine removal shampoo (after swim) 😊
Hi Jackie! Happy Friday!! How was your day! I hope it was awesome! I was off and got a lot done around the house. Always feels good to get things done. I'm ready to relax and have tea with you, my sweet friend. Let's put our feet up and have a tranquil evening together. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Talk to you tomorrow! Sweet dreams!! 💟💟💟
Hi please could you tell me what you think about this: NuFace Mini Facial Toning Device. It is expensive so I am pondering if I should 'splash out' and buy this or is it a gimmick? Kind regards Pauline (UK)
Hi Dr Dray, what do you recommend to wash the body with after pool? Can you suggest any body washes or washes that contain Vit C to remove chlorine from body skin?
If someone was building a pool, what do you think of 'natural' pools / saline pools /some kind of better alternative to a traditional chlorine pool that is still sanitary?
@@DrDrayzday thanks! I love your videos, you were the one who finally helped me clear up my long-time acne problems with Differin! Much love and happy first day of summer💖🌞
I have a salt water pool at home and it is better for skin in general even though the cell salt device is breaking down chlorine and salt ions...still, there is chlorine but in a smaller amount... I found it gentler on the skin...lots of new research has also shown that sunscreen can be toxic with the ingredients they use ..the key is not to swim in the middle of the day where the sun is at its maximum (if no choice, pure virgin unrefined coconut oil offers natural protection).
Hi I was wondering what your thoughts on powdered hyaluronic acid where especially the purple product that was sold on Amazon and that is recommended throughout at least two RUclips videos
to any swimmers- any tips on keeping water out of a swim cap? i've tried different materials and even wearing 2 at the same time but still water gets in
I don’t think any swim cap will keep your hair dry if you are submerging your head underwater. What you can do is wet your hair before putting a cap on to prevent the chlorinated water from soaking into your hair. Hope this helps!
my brother has guttate psorasis but hasnt had a flare up in over 9yrs what do you recommend he do for care for before getting into a pool and after care of exiting the pool ?
1. Apply water resistant spf before swimming
2. Apply vaseline before swimming
3. Rinse skin & hair with fresh water
4. Towel dry the skin
5. Remove wet swimwear ASAP
6. Apply moisturizer
7. Wear swimcap
8. Use a chlorine removal shampoo
9. Wear a hat
10. Swim in the morning or evening (avoid swimming from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

Happy Friday Dr Dray! Per your recommendation, I bought myself a UPF 50 hat that I LOVE and goes with me everywhere when I’m outside!
glad to hear!
@@DrDrayzday Love your videos. Please would you recommend effective high factor suncreams which do not stain clothes. This is a big disadvantage!
happy Friday everyone have a great weekend!
Happy Friday!
Ditto!😊
I wish I would have seen this when I was a swimmer in high school 😭😭😭
I swim in the pool everyday, so I love this video! TY Dr Dray! The kids La Roche Posay seems not to be available anymore. Would it be good to use their Baby formula in the pool instead?
Hi! Do you have recomendations for swimming caps? Latex or silicone? Is it a problem if you wear for a long time? Maybe a video about it would be great! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips
Excellent video!!! 👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi! Thank you for these tips, they were much needed. There are loads of lakes where I live, are there any particular precautions I should take when swimming there besides the sun-related ones?
Is there something I can do to protect my face while surfing? I wear sunscreen, but it's not enough. A hat or glasses would be helpful
try zinc sticks. they come in fun colors lol
Thank you for your video. Do you recommend Vaseline for face for a swimmer who swims year around in the evening.
Hey doctor, is it better to wear a completely covered swimsuit from collar down to avoid chlorine damage? In that case, is it sufficient to wear water resistant sunscreen only on the neck, face, hands and feet?
Very valuable lessons for when you choose to go into a pool!!
Happy Friday Almost the weekend 😊🍁
Help, my fingernails have delaminated, my toenails are also suffering. I take 5 aqua aerobics classes weekly - all European pools are chlorinated by decree/law, but I guess the side effects were not known when legislation passed. How/what can I use to protect myself. I steam and shower before and after every aqua class. Help please.
1- How can I prevent chlorine eyebrows and hair loss?
- Do you recommend a specific chlorine removal body wash?
I wear a surprisingly cheap swimsuit that's long-sleeved and to my knees since there are no indoor pools in my area
Yes!! I wear a long sleeved swim shirt in the pool. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one
Hi Dr Dray, is benzoic acid and sodium benzoate considered fragrance? I have an allergy to balsam of Peru and don’t know whether to avoid these ingredients? A lot of fragrance free products contain these 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Dr. Dray, have you heard/tried AquaGuard Pe-Swim Hair Defense? I wonder if this is better - protect hair from chlorine (before swim) vs doing a chlorine removal shampoo (after swim) 😊
Happy Friday Everybody!! Have a Great Weekend!!
Hi Jackie! Happy Friday!! How was your day! I hope it was awesome! I was off and got a lot done around the house. Always feels good to get things done. I'm ready to relax and have tea with you, my sweet friend. Let's put our feet up and have a tranquil evening together. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Talk to you tomorrow! Sweet dreams!! 💟💟💟
Hi please could you tell me what you think about this: NuFace Mini Facial Toning Device. It is expensive so I am pondering if I should 'splash out' and buy this or is it a gimmick? Kind regards Pauline (UK)
Do you deal with lipidema at all. If so would love to hear if any patients have had any success with various treatments.
Hi Dr Dray, what do you recommend to wash the body with after pool? Can you suggest any body washes or washes that contain Vit C to remove chlorine from body skin?
Happy Friday ❤️❤️
happy friday
Can you please review Elizabeth Arden Prevage?
Thanks so much!!!
Do you think it's better than vitamin C.
I only trust your opinion ♥️♥️
James DeCarlo: Prevage contains fragrance & red dye, and is overpriced; so it won’t be recommended by Dr Dray. 👎
Can you use something like shea butter instead of vaseline?
I'm a simple woman.. I see a. Dr dray video notification.. I see it ♥️
thanks for watching
If someone was building a pool, what do you think of 'natural' pools / saline pools /some kind of better alternative to a traditional chlorine pool that is still sanitary?
i am not a pool expert, but chlorine keeps bacteria away
@@DrDrayzday thanks! I love your videos, you were the one who finally helped me clear up my long-time acne problems with Differin! Much love and happy first day of summer💖🌞
I have a salt water pool at home and it is better for skin in general even though the cell salt device is breaking down chlorine and salt ions...still, there is chlorine but in a smaller amount... I found it gentler on the skin...lots of new research has also shown that sunscreen can be toxic with the ingredients they use ..the key is not to swim in the middle of the day where the sun is at its maximum (if no choice, pure virgin unrefined coconut oil offers natural protection).
Yeah, swimming!! 🏊♀️
Dr Dray. Please list links to your drink, I've been trying to figure it out but can't. Ty 👍💕
Why sunscreen again after swimming? Are we assuming that we are in the sunny country?
Thank You Sooo Much Dr. Dray For a Perfect Video as Always!! I Loved it!! Sending Much Love and Hugs!! Always!! xoxoXO
Mam, Is skin tanning due to outdoor swimming permanent ? Will it return back to normal. Went to pool last week for 1st time.
Hi I was wondering what your thoughts on powdered hyaluronic acid where especially the purple product that was sold on Amazon and that is recommended throughout at least two RUclips videos
to any swimmers- any tips on keeping water out of a swim cap? i've tried different materials and even wearing 2 at the same time but still water gets in
I am also curious about this
I don’t think any swim cap will keep your hair dry if you are submerging your head underwater. What you can do is wet your hair before putting a cap on to prevent the chlorinated water from soaking into your hair. Hope this helps!
A swim cap will never prevent water out completely, no matter brand or application method.
@@jenniferwomble6202 thank you
@@rebeccaedginharrington1572 thank you
Dr Drey, will a thick barrier repair body cream such as eucerine act in the same way as Vaseline? Thanks
Can you share tips if you are swimming in a salt water pool?
my brother has guttate psorasis but hasnt had a flare up in over 9yrs what do you recommend he do for care for before getting into a pool and after care of exiting the pool ?
You recommended a pillow and I can’t remember the name, would you refresh my memory please?
Dr Dray lives in TX!!!
does one need sunscreen for indoor sunscreen?
I am in the pool (saltwater & chlorine) 8 hours a day. Any tip to keep from being so dry and itchy?

@@DrDrayzday thank you. I will try the vaseline. I was using sha butter.

@@jellyacc I teach water survival. It's 8 hours 4 days a week.
