Chlorine exposure in swimming pools can damage hair
Chlorine used in swimming pools as a disinfectant and bleaching agent can cause long-term damage to hair. While generally safe for health at standard concentrations, it affects the hair's physical properties by washing away the natural protective sebum layer, which leads to moisture loss.
This loss of moisture can result in hair becoming dry, brittle, and prone to split ends. Additionally, chlorine can damage the melanin pigment, causing hair to bleach or lose color intensity. To prevent damage, it is recommended to minimize direct contact with chlorinated water and provide extra moisture to the hair.
