The Solution To Chlorine Damage That's In Your Kitchen

The Solution To Chlorine Damage That's In Your Kitchen

If you ask me, it’s not really summer until I hear those four thrilling words:

“EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL!”

From the moment the sun comes up on Memorial Day weekend...until that last hot dog comes steaming off the Labor Day grill…

...there’s nothing that enlivens those long, hot days like a brisk, exhilarating dip in the pool.

Still, no matter how refreshing that cool water can be, there’s always a catch.

And that catch is:

CHLORINE

Whether you’re a regular at your neighborhood pool...or you’ve got your own for swimming right at home…

...you already know too much of the chlorine used to purify the pool’s water can wreak havoc on your hair:

  • Stripping away nutrient-rich natural oils
  • Dehydrating your hair, leaving it dry and brittle
  • Frizziness and styling difficulties
  • Harmful reactions with chemical- or color-treated hair
  • Weakened hair follicles, elevating the risk of breakage.1

Sounds awful, doesn’t it?

And all because you want to cool off...get some exercise...or just have a little fun.

So...is there any way to deal with this dilemma?

You can’t stop chlorinating your pool water. That’s what keeps it from turning into a pit full of bacteria.

You could just avoid swimming altogether.

But how is that fair to you?

You deserve to be able to savor one of summer’s best, most enjoyable activities...

...AND keep your hair safe from the threats presented by chlorine at the same time.

DO-IT-YOURSELF DE-CHLORINATION

So, if you want to enjoy a dip in the pool...without putting your hair at chlorine risk…

...your best bet is to find a treatment that eliminates the chemical’s bad effects on your hair.

And here’s a convenience for you:

One of the best natural chlorine damage fighters is probably in your kitchen right now:

IT’S VINEGAR!

“It might just be the best anti-chlorine friend your hair’s ever had!”.

That’s right!

This common household liquid has been shown to remove harmful chlorine particles from your hair.

It also provides an array of minerals that help give your hair a shiny luster.

With just two additional easy-to-find ingredients, you can use vinegar to create a safe and simple treatment…

EASY DO-IT-YOURSELF VINEGAR HAIR TREATMENT

You’ll be using this anti-chlorine vinegar treatment on days when you shampoo your hair.

Here’s what you do:

  3. Mix the vinegar and oil as thoroughly as possible.
  4. Seal the jar or bottle, and let the mixture blend for a day or two.
  5. When you’re ready to use, add ½ tablespoon of the vinegar mixture to 1 cup of water.
