I'm currently on holiday (hello Spain!) and as it is a hell of a lot hotter than it is back in England and to the excess of chlorine in the swimming pool (which I've been going in about 4 times a day for the past week and a half), my hair is in REALLY bad condition. My scalp isn't dry but the ends look like they've been frazzled and my hair is so fluffy. It's not a split-end problem as I had my hair cut the day before I came to Spain.
Does anyone have any treatments I can do, either while I'm here or when I get home in 3 days?
I've never seen my hair like this before, I've been either braiding it or putting it in a bun just in attempt to tame it!

If anyone has anything that will help, thank you!xxx

Rinse your hair with water from a shower before getting in the pool, and put some conditioner in it
This will decrease the amount of chlorine that absorbs into your hair

Definitely try coconut oil. It just honestly sounds like your hair itself is dry from the chlorine which can happen. Coconut oil you can leave in your hair overnight if you'd like to help and try and put moisture back in your hair. Another tip that I've heard but I havent tried it myself is to dampen your hair and put in a light amount of conditioner which I guess is supposed to act as a protective barrier between your hair and the chlorine.

I'd say if you should condition your hair with a good treatment. I would recommend Aussie 3 minute miracle or Eva NYC therapy session hair mask. However, I'm unsure if you could get either of these products to you quickly. Here's a pic of the Eva NYC

Try putting coconut oil , olive oil, or any non refined oil good for hair and put it on below your ears, coating it wel. Put it in a bun or braid with a shower cap or plastic wrap to keep it from getting on your pillow. Sleep with it on and wash and condition your hair in the morning, it should be a lot softer and smooth!

Maybe go to where you get your hair products and try to find a good deep conditioner. Look for thins that do t have tons of chemicals. Look for ingredients like argon oil and others essential oils or oils and ingredients that are good for the hair. Maybe try something that says it's natural or organic.

Qwaserght - Thank you, I'll give that a go!:)

Dorothea - I think there's a healthfood store near my house which sells all things coconut oil, I'll have a check when I'm back:) thank you for all the info:D

Kendra - I can definitely get Aussie, I've seen it in a few drugstores at home:) I also know where to get argan oil sprays and hair treatments, so I might try a few out:) I'm a natural and organic haircare freak haha, if it's not natural or organic I don't use it:D thank you!!

Ania - We have lots of olive oil where I'm staying so I might give it a go! And lots of plastic wrap come to think of it:D the softer and smooth sounds very nice! Thank you:D

A bunch of people have said this and I agree, use coconut oil. What I do is some coconut oil and one egg, leave it in for as long as you want. it's great!

Do hair spa (if you can spend money at hair saloons)

or buy products from wholeseller. I bought LOREAL PROFESSIONEL HAIR SPA (blue packaging). I'm from malaysia so I think I couldnt help where you find one wholeseller. because this item is not for sale item in any drugstores in my county.

Sophie W. You do mean only the white of the egg right bc I've heard that the yolk becomes a mess in your hair (I've never been brave enough to do it on myself)
