Summer and swimming go hand in hand. The water can bring peace, tranquility, and relaxation, and swimming is an excellent form of exercise for people of all ages.
However, if you're considering solutions for your thinning hair or hair loss, you're probably wondering how it will affect your active lifestyle. Many men and women are surprised to learn that they can reclaim their full head of hair with a high-quality hair restoration system and still enjoy their favorite activities, including swimming.
What Is a Hair Restoration System?
A hair restoration system is not just a solution but a game-changer for men and women dealing with thinning hair or hair loss. These modern, state-of-the-art systems seamlessly blend natural or synthetic hair with your existing hair, providing complete or partial coverage of your hair loss and restoring your confidence.
Unlike wigs, which can be a hassle to maintain, a hair restoration system is attached to your scalp and worn continuously for months. While regular care is necessary to maintain the illusion of natural hair, today's hair replacement systems are so advanced that they are virtually undetectable. The best part is that they provide instant results without surgery and enable you to maintain your active lifestyle without any extra effort.
How Does a Hair Restoration System Affect Your Lifestyle?
One of the reasons hair restoration systems are a leading solution for hair loss is that they don't affect one's ability to continue an active lifestyle. Every hair restoration system is fully customized to create a natural and healthy look while enabling you to live without limitations and engage in your favorite activities, including strenuous exercise.
A hair restoration system looks and feels so natural that you may forget it's there. You'll wash and style your system the same as your natural hair and visit our studio every month or so like you would for a regular trim and styling. The most significant difference will be the boost to your confidence that a full, thick, healthy-looking head of hair can give.
Can You Go Swimming With a Hair Restoration System?
Swimming with a hair restoration system is not a problem. You'll get it wet as part of your regular hair care routine, just as you do your natural hair.
So yes, you can go swimming with a hair restoration system. However, like your natural hair, it's vital to take some precautions before swimming to protect your hair restoration system from salt water and harsh pool chemicals. With a few simple steps, you can enjoy your swim without worrying about your hair.
How to Care for Your Hair Restoration System While Swimming
Your natural hair and the hair used in your hair restoration system are porous and absorb water. Swimming, whether in a pool or the ocean, exposes your hair to chemical compounds in the water, such as salt and chlorine. While salt water and harsh pool chemicals can damage the hair in your restoration system, it only takes a few moments to protect your investment.
If you jump in the water with dry hair, it will quickly absorb the water and any chemical compounds it contains. You can help prevent this by saturating your hair restoration system with fresh water before swimming. Your hair will still come in contact with the chemicals in the water, but because the strands are already saturated, the amount absorbed is minimized.
When your swim session ends, rinse your hair with fresh water to remove any salt or chlorine residue. It would help if you also used a conditioner specifically formulated for hair restoration systems to help restore and maintain the softness and shine. If you don't plan on spending much time in the pool, a swim cap is another effective way to keep your hair restoration system dry and protected.
