Avoid frequent hair wash: Washing your hair frequently will trigger more oil production thus making you feel the need to wash your hair more often. Try rinsing in the shower just to get rid of excess oil in the hair. A quick fix is to dab a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel along your scalp to dissolve excess oil.
Damp your hair before swimming: Using clean water after a dip will help your hair absorb less salt water or chemicals from the pool. In addition to that, always take a shower after taking a dip or spray your hair with clean water to get rid of hard water of the pool.
Use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush: Wide-tooth combs are most gentle for untangling hair, as brushes can pull and tear when they snag strands. Avoid pulling anything through your hair when it's wet.
Massage the scalp with hot oil: Coconut, olive, and avocado oils are good at penetrating the hair shaft. Massage with oil and then work using oil from ends to roots, rinse then condition as usual. Your hair should feel moisturized afterward, but not greasy.
