So I got tired of my knappy and possessed hair last thanksgiving and got it relaxed. Now it's closer to summer and I'm wondering if I can go swimming in pools with my new hair. I really don't want to have to wear a rubber swim cap so any tips would be great!

I used to relax my hair all the time. The relaxer just washed out much sooner than it normally would because of the pool water. I think a good summer style is micros because they last a while and you don't have to worry much about getting them wet.

Put conditioner on your hair before entering the pool and leave it on, once you get out use a clarifying shampoo or as Kara said get Micros or braids in your hair but you will still need to wash it.

Thanks so much! I'm going to go get my micros done before summer break.
