Did not work for us! [SEP] This product may work for others but it was horribly ineffective for our swimmer. She has long soft, straight hair with higher than normal elasticity. Normal exposure to chlorine pools is a week in summer and no concerns. Though swim team meant swimming in chlorinated water 4x/week. We thought this would help. Sadly it made her hair matted, sticky and the texture was worse for using it. We tried it three times before deciding it’s trash to us. Possibly it will help you but in our case, following directions, and a last attempt to use proactively resulted in more difficult hair not what we sought.
