Pool rinse moment
A quick rinse after a pool day can make the difference for blonde hair. See how we reset tone and softness after a swim in Jozi.
What the pool rinse moment captures
This studio photo shows the fresh, clean length of blonde hair right after a midday pool rinse at our Kramerville studio. The hair is damp and towel-blotted, ready for the care step that follows a swim, especially important after time in a Johannesburg pool under the Highveld sun.
Blonde and lightened hair is porous and can pick up mineral traces from pool water, including copper that may tint very fair hair greenish. Our team always recommends a rinse with cool tap water as soon as possible, then a gentle towel press to remove excess moisture before applying care.
How to recreate the pool rinse care at home
Before swimming, wet hair with clean tap water and apply a small amount of Length Oil Drop or Sun Shield Mist. This helps reduce how much pool water the hair can absorb, especially important for light or highlighted strands.
After your swim, rinse hair well straight away, then use Blonde Wash Soft to gently cleanse. If you notice any brassy or greenish tinge, follow with Violet Soft Rinse for 2 to 5 minutes, using gloves and rinsing until the water runs clear. Finish with Silk Repair Mask or Bond Soft Serum for softness and to protect the ends.
If you swim regularly, bring a swim cap for pool laps and keep a Travel Care Trio in your bag. For questions on your own pool care or to try these steps in person, send us a message using our contact form to book a care review at any of our showrooms.
