1. French Braids
My absolute top pick for waterpark hair is the classic French braid. It’s incredibly durable and versatile. You can do one down the back, two pigtails, or even combine them with other styles. French braids keep hair secure and out of the way no matter how many times you go down the slide. They are my go-to because they truly last. Make sure you secure the ends really well with a strong elastic band.
Frequently Asked Questions About Waterpark Hair
I get asked a lot about keeping hair healthy at the waterpark. It makes sense! All that chlorine and sun can be tough. Here are some common questions I hear and my best advice to keep your hair happy and looking its best.
What is the best way to protect my hair from chlorine?
Before you even dip your toes in the water, rinse your hair with fresh water. Your hair is like a sponge; it will soak up less chlorine if it’s already wet. Applying a leave-in conditioner before swimming also adds a protective barrier against the chemicals.
How can I prevent tangles after swimming?
Braiding your hair before you get in the water is a game-changer for preventing tangles. The braids keep your hair from getting tossed around and knotted. After swimming, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently work through any snags, starting from the ends.
Should I wash my hair immediately after the waterpark?
It’s a good idea to rinse your hair thoroughly right after you get out of the water to remove as much chlorine as possible. If you can, washing with a clarifying shampoo later that day is best to get rid of all traces of chemicals. If not right away, wash it as soon as you can.
