Making a Splash - Swimming with a Hair System

 

If you wear a hair system, you may wonder if it’s possible to enjoy a swim without worrying about your hair. 

 

The good news is that, with the right precautions and care, swimming with a hair system is possible. In this blog post, we’ll address the question, ‘Can you swim with a hair system?’ and provide some dos and don’ts of hair system care to help you maintain quality and appearance. 

 

Yes, you can swim with a hair system. Many individuals with hair systems enjoy swimming, whether it’s in the pool, at the beach, or in other water activities. However, it’s important to take some precautions to ensure the longevity and integrity of your hair system. 

 

 

1. Use a waterproof adhesive: Before swimming, ensure you use a waterproof adhesive or tape to secure your hair system. This will provide a strong bond and prevent the system from coming loose in the water. 

 

2. Wear a swim cap: To add an extra layer of protection, consider wearing a swim cap over your hair system. This will help keep your hair in place and minimise exposure to chlorine or saltwater. 

 

3. Rinse after swimming: After swimming, it’s crucial to rinse your hair system thoroughly with clean water. This will help remove any chlorine, salt, or other chemicals that could damage the hair or affect the adhesive. 

 

 

1. Avoid excessive exposure to chlorine or salt water: While swimming is generally safe for hair systems, prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water can have adverse effects. Limit your time in the water and avoid submerging your head for extended periods. 

 

2. Avoid rubbing or excessive towel drying: After swimming, gently pat your hair system dry with a towel instead of rubbing it vigorously. 

Rubbing can cause tangling or damage to the hair strands. 

 

3. Don’t use hot tools immediately: Give your hair system ample time to dry naturally before using hot styling tools like hair dryers or straighteners. 

Excessive heat can weaken the adhesive or damage the hair fibres. 

 

By following these dos and don’ts, you can confidently swim with your hair system and enjoy the water without worrying about your hair’s appearance.
