How to Fix Chlorine-Damaged and Dry Hair in 3 Minutes

by Carolyn Leave a Comment

This post was sponsored by Aussie as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Be sure to enter the Back to School Sweepstakes with Walmart for a chance to win a $50,000 scholarship or other prizes!

It’s getting to the end of summer and Back to School is coming soon. My daughter’s hair is so damaged from the sun, chlorine and salt water that we can barely brush it. The tears are getting intense. 

My kids were a part of our neighborhood swim team this summer. It is such a great way for them to get some exercise and for us to get to know all our neighbors. It is such a bonding experience for the kids and for the adults. 

Now that the swim team season is over and after spending weeks at the pool and beach my kids’ hair is no longer soft and silky. Even my boy’s shorter hair feels rough. I will admit that I do love the golden color running through my boy’s hair and my daughter’s is super blonde, but the texture just isn’t right.

When I was a girl, I was on swim team and my hair became dry and brittle, we used Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner. I decided to use the same thing to fix my kids’ hair before school starts. You can find Aussie products at your local Walmart.
