So at the beginning of this month I dyed my hair red with l'oreal hi color in red hot, and I want to go swimming in my friends pool which has chlorine in it. But, however I am nervous of what could happen to my hair. If anyone has an idea of what could or will happen please comment.

I don't think anything should happen as long as you rinsed your hair properly after dying it and I think it would be best if you waited until after you have washed it with shampoo just to be sure.

I had red hair and wen I went swimming I'm a chlorine pool. It didnt do much to my hair.it jst made it look a TINY faded. So it will probaly fade your hair a tiny bit.. But if you buy water colors shampoo and conditioner. That will re tint your hair... That's what I used. It's made for red colors.. Every time you use it. It re tints your hair so it won't fade as fast... I would go swimming but make sure you hav a red shampoo lik water colors in the shade fireball(: hope this helps.

Wait, if it was at the beginning of this month you should be fine.

You should wash your hair before and after you swim if your hair is color treated. I heard it preserves the color :)

I used to swim every morning when I had red hair. I did use a swim cap most of the time, but I did wet my hair and coat it with conditioner when I wasn't wearing a cap. I don't know if that necessarily helped, but I like to think so! Immediately after I was done doing laps, I would wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner that I added some red protein filler to.

When I go swimming my colour is fine nothing happens, however my friends red hair would run into the pool if she went swimming and had to always wear a swim cap
