PHILIP KINGSLEY Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask Pre Swim Hair Protection Protectant for Swimmers, Protects and Shields Hair from Chlorinated Pool and Salt Water, 2.53oz

I got this to use while working on my dive certifications. I have platinum blonde hair and needed a way to protect it for 4 or 5 hours of pool time. This did a great job. My hair didnt end up with a slight green tinge like usual and it is still feeling pretty soft the day after. The smell is a little bit dated, but its not that bad and you won't notice while you are swimming anyways. Definitely will repurchase.

The first time using it I noticed my towel did not have a bunch of hair on it when I dried off. It seems to work well. I hope it shows in the long run. If the first try is any indicator I will be a return customer. Only drawback is that it made my bathing cap slip more easily and had to readjust. Small concern and probably it is just showing that it is working.

It's good for removing sea salt from hair

I used this product for the first time today before swimming in a chlorinated pool. I applied the product according to the directions by dampening my hair first. I was immediately overcome by the scent, which can only be described as "1980s grandma." It smells like a cheap perfume from the 1980s that I can't quite place. What I can say with certainty is that one of my two grandmothers sprayed herself with a scent curiously similar to this product. Overpowering? Yes. Sickly sweet? Absolutely. Will I use this product again? The jury is out. I love how soft it made my hair, but can I tolerate smelling like this again? I don't know. (And yes, I shampoo twice, per the directions, and followed up with a generous dollop of my luxury gym's high-end conditioner.)

Very good hair protection

Sooooo much smaller than expected unbelievable that they could even charge $19.99 for a small sample of this product

I haven’t actually used this yet. The reason I came to review it is because of the size and smell. This bottle is tiny for the price. The problem is the smell. When another review says it smells like an old lady perfume, believe them. It smells STRONGLY of the powder my grandma used to wear back in 1995. I’m honestly wary of using it now because I don’t want my scent to make people think of baby powder, denture cream and orthopedic slippers.

Was recommended this by some friends for a trip to Mexico. I had vibrant hair and was worried about the chlorine and sea water fading it. This worked as described to help protect my dyed hair.

I use this every time I go swimming - training for a triathlon so have to go regularly - and my type 3A curls love it, I feel no damage at all from the pool, and my hair is always soft and healthy after! while not the cheapest, I think it’s very much worth the pennies.

This is expensive stuff but SO worth it if you swim a lot. I have dyed hair and was having to re-dye after every swim. The chlorine in the pool would completely bleach out the colour and turn it from red to orange every time I swam. I decided to try this stuff as I swim pretty much daily at the moment. It completely stops the chlorine bleaching out my colour and the condition of my hair has drastically improved since using too. It is expensive, but even with thick hair I only use a small amount and it seems to work. It also seems to stay put when I use the sauna and steam room too! I will be buying again!

Product is ok but the tube is so tiny it will only last a couple of uses. I need it for frequent use due to weekly swimming. Very expensive for such a small tube.

Really good to have. Use it abroad to keep your hair moist when in and out of the pool. Keeps your hair hydrated in the sun.

Good for afro hair , protect the hair when swimming in sea or swimming pool.
