Dry hair, dry skin...HELP!

Yeah.  For your hair find some really heavy duty leave-in stuff, put it on and then your swim cap over it to help protect your hair.

For your skin, not for regular swimming, but for swim lesson teaching, when I taught we used to slather this product called Eucerin all over ourselves before getting in the pool.  It's a really heavy-duty lotion that's almost wax like.

At night, get some of that really good dry skin lotion and put it on before you go to bed.  It really does help.  Being in the water that long every day really affects your skin.

Lubriderm Oatmeal formula for skin (so nice I can use it on my face - I normally only use Aveda face products on my face).

Sexy Healthy Hair shampoo and conditioner works for me.

OH, yeah, ditto!  I forgot that part, but it helps TREMENDOUSLY! Wet the hair, then the heavy duty leave in stuff (which is all that cholesterol is anyway I think), then the swim cap.  My hair is actually softer than before I got in the pool

I find it really helps to wet my hair and coat it with a silicone-based product before getting into the pool.  The best product I've found so far is Biosilk Silk Therapy.  It does a prett good job of coating the hair and keeping the chlorine from doing too much damage.  In addition to the Silk Therapy I use whatever heavy duty conditioner I have around.   Then after swimming rinse your hair out again really good as soon as you can and use a swimmers shampoo.  I don't know enough about the various brands to say if one is better than the other but I've used a few and they have all seemed to work well.  

Ditto.  Back before I started shaving my head and even in high school when I had really long hair and was on swim team I used to use this stuff all the time.  Works great.
