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
- Cleanse the scalp; avoid roughing up lengths
- Detangle with water + conditioner in sections
- Apply leave-in on soaking-wet hair
- 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
