Growing up in the blistering humid heat of Miami, Florida automatically made me a beachgoer and pool lover, especially during the summer. The only pet peeve of mine as a teen was the dry, chlorine build-up I experienced after every pool day. So obviously, the only solution I came up with was to lather my hair in a deep conditioner and hope for the best. Sure, it made my hair feel softer (sometimes), but didn’t really solve the problem. If only I had known about chlorine shampoo back then—it’s the quickest and easiest way to remove chlorine from your hair after a swim.
We all know what chlorine can do: it leaves hair dry, brittle, and coated with build-up. Chlorine essentially sticks to your hair like a mineral deposit, but chlorine removal shampoos use chelating agents to break down these tough compounds. The most effective ones include ingredients like ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium citrate, and high-dose citric acid, while gentler options like apple cider vinegar and vitamin C also work.
Feeling lost? Don’t worry, I’ve done the work for you and found the best chlorine shampoos. Read on to discover my top picks and how to keep your hair pool-ready and damage-free.
