Ae Salon prafessionaîs would determine if the damage is done by the suni pool and suni, colourinq or a combination of these or other factors. In each case, the resulf would differ. If' it were as simple as sun j ~ damaged hair, we would teel the texture and assuming it.was sun * damage, a maisturizing treatment would be in order. It is ail in the. protection ot the hair. If it were chlorine damage, then the drying of* chlorine has to be cut out especially if it has gone to the point of stretching, breaking or even turning your hair green. (The green is due ta a tremendousbuild..up of chiorine in the hair.) The remedy is ta make sure that you use a cheîating shampoo ta remave ail chiorine in the hair., Then ta prateot when swimming, use large amaunts of conditioner betore enterinq the pool. That wiIl proteot you tempararily until youlre out ot the pool (leave the conditioner in the hair). Maybe use a cap ta caver or don't get your hair wet in the pool. In éoîouring, every case is an individual ane. Sa it is important ta be armed with the correct information. ~4L44HAIR STUDIO 413 Dundas St. E.
