Clarifying Schedules for Swimmers

Clarifying Schedules for Swimmers. If your routine feels random, this turns it into repeatable steps you can actually keep.

The core idea: fewer, better steps. Cleanse the scalp well, condition until slip, style on soaking-wet hair, then hands-off until dry.

Steps

1. Cleanse the scalp; avoid roughing up lengths
2. Detangle with water + conditioner in sections
3. Apply leave-in on soaking-wet hair
4. Dry hands-off; break the cast only when fully dry

Toolkit

• Chelating/clarifying shampoo (as needed)
• Deep conditioner/mask (monthly)
• Hard-hold gel or mousse for humidity
• Microfiber towel or T-shirt
• Wide-tooth comb or flexible brush
• Satin/silk pillowcase or bonnet

“Hands-off until fully dry is half the battle.”

Example

For workouts: quick refresh—mist water + a touch of leave-in at the hairline and crown.

Styling angle: apply stylers on soaking-wet hair, aim for even distribution, and keep hands off until fully dry to preserve definition.

Porosity & Climate Notes

• Low porosity: lighter layers; avoid heavy oils
• Humidity: pair humectants with film-formers
