FYI .....

<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Prevention/Solution

<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Most chlorine damage to hair color occurs from swimming pools rather than shower water. To protect your hair wear a swim cap when you go swimming in a pool. If that's not possible, wet your hair in the shower before entering the pool so your hair does not absorb as much of the highly chlorinated water. For even more protection, wet your hair, apply conditioner, and rub it throughout your hair. The conditioner will coat the hair to help resist the chlorinated water while you swim. Chlorine Removal Shampoos

<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Some specialty shampoos on the market are designed to remove chlorine from color-treated hair to limit the damage. Using these shampoos is especially helpful after swimming in a chlorinated pool. Examples are UltraSwim and general clarifying shampoos, which also remove excess product (such as gels and mousse) build-up from your hair. Special Conditioners

<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Conditioners, such as UltraSwim and TriSwim are designed to counteract the drying effects from chlorine in your hair, such as brittle ends.

Ooooh Jan thanks! I might try the rubbing conditioner through my hair first trick. I dont ever put my whole head or hair under the water but the bottom half always ends up wet whilst swimming. And a swimming cap - no thankyou!!!

Going swimming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My littler brother has twisted my arm and so we've just been to asda and bought 4 bottles of water each which = 4 'free' swims at the nuffield. I say 'free' as the water bottles were 50p each! :giggle:

Im excited now!

Going swimming tomorrow, run thursday, swimming friday and run saturday! 5 days exercise! Am i mad?!!!! hehe

Another good tip for just dyed hair - if it does start to go a little green, get some ketchup, rub it through your hair and leave it on for about 15 minutes, then wash off. This tip was given to me by a hair-dresser years ago, and it DOES work.

I have factored in chocolate for sunday though! Im going to have a curly wurly! It's in my fridge chilling already!

 

[JanD]

Good idea if you can do that. Wish I could! xx

 

[summergurl]

Well we shall see! I cant live my whole life without it and so i figure if i factor it in mine and the chocolate's relationship might just work! ha

 

[JanD]

I'm afraid it has to be all or nothing with me. And that curley wurley would NOT last in the fridge till sunday!! x

Swimming this morning after work was: 30 swimming lengths, 20 running lengths. So, 1000 meters - just short of 2/3rds of a mile.

Got up and weighed myself today (busy weekend with not much sleep so thought it best) 6 days on and its a STS. Im dissapointed :cry: ... seems like ive put alot of hard work in this week for nothing. Those damn crackers and cottage cheese - thats what im blaming it on :sigh: :giggle:

Baked beaks - I can imagine those chickens getting their beaks chopped off for breakfasts - lmao. I am taking it you mean beans.....lol.

Aww Tan, try not to be dis-heartened with the weigh in, after the exercise though, could the muscle not be working harder or something along those lines, I know it doesn't weigh heavier than fat, but there could be something in it, plus you were working until 4am.

I vary my weigh in day each week, I only weigh on my days off, never after a nightshift.
