I used this at times when I couldn't wash my hair, or when it was really dry or humid outside. It worked really well. I would give it a try on your water activity's. How well it will work for you. the best thing is to try and find out. The nice thing about this is it has a protein base, smells good, and a good thing to leave in the hair. So this could work very well for you.

It would work fine for taking out the knots, no sure if it would do the job of keeping hair from absorbing chlorine & salt water. For that I use Malibu leave-in mist conditioner. It's free of sulfates, paragons, gluten, & sodium Chlorides too.

Chlorine and salt water do make the colors fade faster. The longer you are in he water and the more often you swim the more it will fade. You could try putting conditioner in your hair, then wearing a swim cap to protect your colors.

I use it only in my regular bathtub with good results (don't ever use a spa or hot tub). I tend to have dry skin (though no serious problems) and most products make it much drier - but not these Vit C tabs for the the bath (though it doesn't really moisturize my skin, either). One tab works in my somewhat small '50's era tub. It doesn't stop my bubble bath from working. I REALLY like this stuff because my tap water smells like chlorine, but not in the tub with this Vita c tab.

I have fin thinning hair. I also color treat and swim three times a week in chlorinated water. This product is wonderful for keeping hair healthy and hydrated. I apply it to my hair before swimming. Great protectant!

Yes, I have a chlorinator full of chlorine tablets that puts a steady dose of chorine into the pool, but I didn't ever have to put extra in to shock the pool. This shock was amazing. I've always had trouble with algae but I didn't see ANY this year.

Yes, definitely! I only ise this over my leave-in conditioner, and it works well!

I've been using it for a few months in a regular bath with no problems at all. I don't have any noticeable changes in my skin but I like the sensory and mental reassurance that it's neutralizing the nasty effects of chlorine on my health. I can definitely smell the change in the water. (And then I add Epsom salt with essential oils and soak worry free.)

I think it looks fine in sunlight and have never had any negative comments (family would say if they thought so) You can not use this product and go swimming. It is a light powder like substance that will wash away. It takes a little practice to apply without caking but is the best alternative to a wig. Very happy with it and I use it daily.

I have been using this product in my laundry about one year to eliminate the chlorine in my laundry. I put 1/2 tablet and laundry soap in when the water is filling up. It dissolves rather quickly - then add clothes, sheets or towels. I also set a timer and put another 1/2 tablet in when the rinse water starts filling the tub. This has nearly eliminated the itchy dry skin caused by too much chlorine in our city water. It has not damaged anything.

Yes. I alternate this product with chlorine. Bromine doesn't seem to work as effectively in my hot tub. As a long time hot tub owner, I have noticed the actual tub accepting or rejecting certain chemical combinations at different times during ownership. I use an oxy product like this (I bought this specific brand because it was easy through Amazon), the Nature 2 cartridge, and occasional chlorine in my 2001 Vanguard Hot Springs tub. I do have an ozonator and I installed a UV in-line sterilization system using a standard Pondmaster UV filtration light. If you have any other question just ask. - Kris Yes.

I have not used in piscina, beach alone. I guess it must be resistant to chlorine.

you should be able to use this shock product in any spa that uses Bromine and which does NOT have chlorinated water. Never mix Bromine with water that has been treated with chlorine / bleach / sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), or hydrochloride . . . whether liquid or powdered form. If the water is chlorinated, best to first replace the water or wait three days after the last exposure to chlorine before adding Bromine.

I have used it in both a regularly chlorinated pool and a saline pool. Saline or salt water pools generate chlorine.

I recommend after u put it on for how ever many hours it says take a bath that's what I did because the first time I washed after I used it was in the shower and it did streak. But it does last it just doesn't fade easy. not sure about a pool with chlorine but I went in the ocean and it was fine

I think it could be used daily. I didn't find it to be very effective against Chlorine... it's a clear, clarifying shampoo that reminds me of a citrus version of suave (sort of cheap/ drying - but it smells awesome). The conditioner has a vanilla smell and I had to use a ton to get it to do anything. If you have very fine oily hair this would probably be great for daily use. If your hair is thick, curly, dry or unmanageble, you could use it but it will not do anything great. Oh - and the packets - I used one, it was strange, I guess it's meant to super-clarify your hair and take out the chlorine?? I didn't notice much of a difference, and it smelled weird. I'm throwing the rest out. I think it could be used daily.

In terms of the ingredients, it is Water and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). You can find an image of the back of the bottle here: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0056/4482/files/SwimSpray_Ingredients.002_large.jpg?649 In terms of the uses, the spray comes out more like a mist rather than a straight stream of liquid. When you use it, you combine it with your other showering aids (body wash and shampoo) and that helps spread it all over your skin and hair. Depending on the chlorine level of the pool, I only need to use a couple of sprays.

I recommend you not buy this product from Amazon. Go to the Pravana site and they have a list of providers and salons throughout the US. This is the only way to be certain of what you are getting. My experience with the authentic Pravana product is that it is nothing like any chemical treatment. It feels like a conditioner being applied, does not burn or smell like perms or certain keratin treatments of the past. It is safe to use on chemically treated hair, but you may have breakage when weaning your hair from a chemical to Pravana, due to the damage already caused by the chemical. For me I had been off the chemical treatments for years before using Pravana. I experienced that with Pravana I can have a loose soft curly look or when blow dried a straight look. Unfortunately through amazon there is at least one if not more vendors who are selling a counterfeit that is like a perm, it burns, it damages and more scary than anything I do not know what the heck it is, it does not have a similar burn or smell to any perm or keratin treatments I know of. But for certain this product was not Pravana. I purchased this item and now my many years of being without chemical damage has reverted me to damaged hair and irritated scalp. I contacted my local Pravana specialist and have booked a treatment to try nourish my hair back to health. Inaddition I contacted Pravana about this Amazon purchased item. They are sorry I experienced this but assured me that the product is not theirs and the vendor I purchased it from is not one of their distributors. Be careful and Good luck!!
