Review of UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo

We got an above ground pool about a month or two ago, and ever since I have been in the pool on a constant. With the hot weather breathing down my neck, there is nothing more wonderful than diving into a huge pod of cool water everyday after a long hot day at the office.

I swam around and around, day after day, week after week... and then it hit me. My hair was starting to not only get lighter, but it was also very knotty, dry, and hard to manage; even after taking a shower using expensive shampoo's and moisturizing conditioners.

I myself never fell victim to the whole chlorine will ruin your hair speech. I used to swim all the time in pools and never had an issue. I didn't however swim in the everyday, and now with one in the backyard... I truly believed that exposing myself to chlorine everyday was in fact taking a toll on my hair.

I guess I wasn't the only one who felt this way, because a few days ago while hopping into my shower a bottle of UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo was staring back at me. Well how delightful. I imagined my mom bought this one. How lucky for me, I get to try it first!

The bottle we had was white with a blue label stuck to the front of it. I have looked around online at other bottles of UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo, and not all of them are the same. Some are blue, some are clear. Mostly though the shampoo is hard to miss, it has an attractive label on it with the text written out very boldly.

The promise is what one would imagine; using UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo will rinse chlorine from your hair. Just what I needed it for.


I wet my hair, clicked up the cap and squeezed out some...errr...what.the.hell.is.this?

The shampoo was runny, very runny, and on my hands it had this odd texture and feel to it. As if it were peeling dead layers of skin off of my hand, leaving behind this nasty feeling on my hands.

The smell at first was however nice. Like a very mild Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo. I began to run it through my hair and immediately the lovely aroma of baby shampoo took on a whole new demonic form.

God damn, UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo smelled like farts. It had a very high stench of sulfur, beans, and of course the subtle baby shampoo scent. Combined the scent was horrendous. I would rather have my hair lighten up and dry out than have it smell like a giant fart.

I rinsed out as fast as I could. The weird slick texture was now present in my locks... my hair however did feel a hell of a lot more moisturized and healthy after the demonic farting ordeal.

Results:
 
Okay so UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo smells like beans, burritos, and farts to me, but once I rinsed with conditioner the stench was gone. My hair was in fact left feeling a heck of a lot better, looking better, and was actually manageable.

Could I use it again though was the ultimate question?

I could, and would use UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo again. This time though I'll just remember to bring my swimming nose plug into the shower with me, because the shampoo works well, if you can just get past the smell.

Where To Buy:
 
I have no clue where my mom picked this one up, I will say though that I have seen this particular shampoo available at numerous pool websites, and drugstore websites. The price is around $5.00 for a 7 ounce bottle.

Recommendation:
 
I recommend it to those who swim often. You must however not have a weak stomach, because it does smell pretty bad.
