Imagine hair that feels silky, frizz-free and colour-protected — so you step out of the water looking confident, glossy and glowy.
Swim Saltwater & Chlorine Hair Protectant
Say goodbye to dreaded post-swim hair.
Dry. Brittle. Colour-faded. Frizzy. Hair so knotted that brushing feels impossible.
We’ve all been there, hair that looks and feels like straw after a swim.
That’s exactly why we created Pre-Swim.
Pre-Swim is a lightweight, leave-in hair protectant designed to be applied before swimming, helping shield hair from the drying effects of chlorine, saltwater, and UV exposure. Think of it as an invisible swim cap for your hair.
Why Prevention Matters
Most hair products try to fix damage after it’s already happened. Pre-Swim works differently: it helps protect your hair before you enter the water.
Think of it like SPF. You wouldn’t wait for sunburn before protecting your skin, and your hair deserves the same care.
When applied before swimming, Pre-Swim forms a lightweight barrier that helps reduce water absorption, minimising dryness, frizz, tangling, and colour fade.
What You'll Notice

-

Don’t wait for the damage, protect your hair from the first splash.
How to Use
Before swimming
Apply Pre-Swim to dry or damp hair at least 10 minutes before swimming.
For best results, apply 1–5 hours before (the longer, the better).
After swimming
Towel-dry hair thoroughly and reapply a smaller amount.
At home
Rinse hair in the shower. You don’t have to shampoo and condition, as your hair has been protected, shampoo only if desired.
If you want to completely remove the residue and return hair to a non-silky feel, simply shampoo hair.
Ways to Use When You're Not Swimming

A heat protectant before blow-drying or styling
-
A frizz-free blow-dry cream for a smooth, glossy finish

-
A curl cream for added moisture and bounce
