With the summer here, it’s time for swimming! It’s the best time to do it to stay cool in the hot summer sun, you just need to make sure you protect your hair. I’m excited to share some of the best shampoos to treat chlorine for the summer.
Best Shampoos to Treat Chlorine for the Summer
My daughter is in the pool every single day in the summer. Every. Single. Day. Chlorine isn’t great for your hair. It can damage you hair and it can also make it turn colors. Not always, but it can.
I wanted to share with you some of the best shampoos to treat chlorine in the summer because if you can stay on top of it, you’ll be helping your hair out. It’s not always easy to make sure you’re taking care of your hair, especially in the summer – but this simple step when you’re showering can help and go a long way.
Best Shampoos to Try
I will say, I haven’t tried all of these, but we are a swimming family, so I asked a bunch of my mom friends to suggest ones that they’ve used and loved. If you have any questions, let me know!
I’m going to highlight 5 of them below. I know that there are so many more, but I felt like these 5 really fit the bill when it came to getting the job done.
1. Fairy Tales Hair Care
I have to say, across the board when I asked lots of moms with young kids, this was one that they recommended. Everyone had raving reviews about it, especially with kids who are constantly in the chlorinated water.

4. TRIHARD Swimmer Shampoo
This is one that many swimmers we know use after they swim in a chlorinated pool. This is a very popular one, especially if you’re a competitive swimmer.
The Swimmers Shampoo effectively removes chlorine and saltwater from swimmers’ hair and scalp while hydrating dry hair and relieving potential itchy scalps caused by pool chemicals.
This one is $17.98

5. Sun Bum Detox Shampoo
This is one that I have used on Victoria (and myself) and have really loved! One of my good friend’s had recommended this product and I knew it was worth trying it out!
Our Revitalizing Detox Shampoo uses Apple Cider Vinegar to help deeply, yet gently cleanse impurities including salt water, chlorine, and product build-up from root to tip. Blue Agave helps rehydrate and soften hair, restoring it to a healthy balance. Gentle enough for daily use, but recommended as a weekly treatment.
It’s $10.99.

I hope you try one of these or all of these! Make sure you’re doing everything you can to protect your hair and your littles ones hair in the chlorine. It’s something that you just wanted to make sure you’re staying on top of as best as you can!
How often do you use these; everyday or once a week, or what (even for near daily swims in the pool)? TIA
Great question! I have Victoria use them about 2x a week.
