Di has asked, hi, Lee and Kelly, question for you both.

I'm not sure if you swim, but I've started doing laps a few times a week and my hair looks awful.

I can't get the chlorine smell out of it no matter how much I shampoo and it's never been drier.

Sad face.

I've been using hydrating masks and they don't seem to help much.

Any tips?

I think that a lot of people think, oh, my hair gets wet anyway, so what's the point?

That's like saying, oh, my hand's going to reach into the oven anyway, so what's the point of wearing an oven mitt?

Like...

Hello, you're protecting.

Oh my God, absolutely you do.

I used to, after I'd soaked it, I would put like conditioner through and then put my cap on.

Exactly, exactly.

Why doesn't she just do dog paddle and put her hair in a ponytail?

Think of it like a stain.

Like you've got a stain on your dress, you'd quickly rinse it.

I do have a few things to add.

I think when I did swim, I'm being very mean to myself, but I actually was very into swimming up until I had my son, really, because my gym also had a pool.

So I would do that as part of it.

So swimming caps are not all created equal.
