    I do the same as Lise, except I'm lazy and don't bother with the comb.

    Ok so I tried the conditioner thing yesterday, but then my swim cap wouldn't stay on!!! It just kept slipping off my head. Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions??? Thanks!!

    I had the same problem! One feels rather...silly. Use less conditioner. Do actually comb it through--there will be less on top to create a grease slick.

    My hair guy says that the most important thing is to wet your hair, because the water swells the hair follicle. I don't bother with conditioner. But my hair is above shoulder length, so if you have long hair I can see how conditioner would be valuable.

    the wetting and the conditioner are perfect to do to save your hair.

    also use a good clairfying shampoo twice a month with a good deep conditioner. pureology makes a great line for stripping out the cr@p that isn't good for your hair, but being gental on color treated hair.

    use to use it all the time when i swam in pools. if you don't like that line i think aveda also carries some. my hair just doesn't like aveda. its curly and dry naturally.

    I think I may have found the solution - I found a swim cap made by Speedo that is lycra on the inside and silicon on the outside. The lycra is soft and I don't think it will slip around as much when I put conditioner in as when I just use a totally silicon cap. Will try this out tonight!
