Summer is peak pool season, but if you ever leave the water with a crunchy end and a little off color, you know that swimming can do a number on your hair. That’s where Philip Kingsley’s swimsuit mask comes from. The water-resistant hair mask was originally created for the US Olympic simultaneous swimming team and is now loved by beach travelers, regular flighters and anyone who records regular pool time.
Buy now at Nordstrom, the mask works like a swimming cap in a tube that protects your strands from chlorine, salt water and UV rays. It is especially useful for color treatment or blonde hair because it obscures the terrible green tones caused by chlorine. With ingredients like castor oil, olive oil and hydrolyzed elastin, this mask works overtime to keep your hair soft, shiny and hydrated – even in water.
Fans of the brand swear to its results. “This is the first thing I have in my swimming bag,” said one swimmer. “I have been swimming all my life, but as I get older, my hair becomes so damaged and dry. Once I start using it, my hair becomes softer and damaged. Without it, I wouldn’t go into the pool.”
Swimsuit masks are also ideal for beach vacations and sunbathing travel days, making it a relaxing, multitasking and crucial for your carry-on. As one shopper said, “It’s like wearing a hair mask all day – knowing that there’s no way to cause damage.”
Whether you’re logging in to the circle or beachfront leisure, this treatment ensures that your summer hair remains protected, hydrated and healthy.
