Protect your Hair from Pool Chlorine
Works fantastic! I have tried other swimmer’s shampoos and been sorely disappointed. This works! The phase protector goes on easily and is non-sticky. It feels conditioning. The shampoo smells good and cleans well without stripping hair if natural oils and not stripping color.I use henna creme to color my hair and swim frequently. I wanted to preserve my hair and color from turning into brassy straw. These products fill the bill! I love how shiny and silky feeling my hair is after shampooing and conditioning after a swim!

Great! When you follow very specific instructions
I’m a swim instructor and spend anywhere from 3-5 hours in the water on a daily basis. Most our pools are about 88 degrees and none of them have on site showers. I drive about 13-30 minutes until I can get to a shower. Aqua guard and I have a love hate relationship. The first time I used this I put it in like 2 minutes before I got in the pool and slathered it on. It smelled amazing and did stay in my hair all through the shift. But when it came time to shower it wouldn’t come out. It stayed in my hair making it crunchy and super tangled. I don’t like to give up on products so I did some research and experimentation and here’s what I found.1. It doesn’t matter if it goes in your hair wet or dry. 2. Put it on like 5 minutes before going in the pool. That gives it time to absorb 3. Think of it like a top coat for your hair you want enough for it to coat it but not enough that you see super thick deposits in your hair. 4. You HAVE to use a special chlorine removing shampoo to get it out (I tried a normal clarifying shampoo and it failed so look for swim specific I buy a 3 in 1 product and it works great although sometimes I do have to wash 2 times) 5. If you have warm water it’s best to rise your hair in that right after swimming and try not to let it dry in your hair or sit in it for a long time. ( I will say that I can actually let it sit in my hair for a bit like 1-2 hours if I rinse my hair in super warm sink water before leaving)Following all the above rules it works beautifully my hair is the softest it’s ever been and while there is some chlorine damage from my failed uses I haven’t seen any damage beyond that. I even had some curls one day. I usually braid my hair and due to being an instructor and working with kids I don’t wear a swim cap and I’m really happy with the condition of my hair. Plus it smells so good for everyone wondering the smell is a sweet almond smell due to the almond oil in it. I just ran out (this sized bottle lasted me about a month) and have the huge bottle on the way

Outstanding Products
I feel like I won the grand prize! 6 full-sized- full-sized- bottles of fabulous Aqua Guard products for $51. I had already been using the pre-swim conditioner and absolutely love it. So many products promise this, that, and the other and don't really make much difference. But Aqua Guard products do their job. For reference my hair is thick, wavy/curly, blonde/white and I regularly (twice/month) use colored conditioner to keep my hair toned, not brassy. I use heat. My hair tends to be dry, but is healthy overall, and I want it to stay that way. I do pool aerobics and swim four times/week, I'm in California so in the pool, sun, wind year-round. Aqua Guard products are the blessing that helps keep my hair and skin healthy. All are very lightly and pleasantly scented, I've had no problems with pumps or bottles and consistency of all products I've used is really nice. Reef safe, no animal testing. I'm delighted with Aqua Guard products and bet you will be, too!

Will repurchase throughout summer
I’ve been using this on my daughter’s hair before she goes into the pool (about 3x a week in a chlorinated pool). It looks kind of greasy when you put it on dry hair but it keeps her hair very soft amd protects it from the chlorine and it doesn’t leave a residue after washing with shampoo. Will repurchase all summer!

10/10!!!!!!!
I have been a swimmer my whole life and how I just now came across this brand is beyond me!! My hair was so soft right out of the pool and the shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel so clean!!! None of the crunch hair from the salt or the chlorine firmness. Simple its an amazing product!!!! Will for sure be ordering more and check out the rest of the line!!! 10/10 !!!

A game changer!
Excellent, really protects the hair. The detangler leaves the hair soft and shiny. I now use it even before styling and the results are something else!

Conditioner has an odd smell.
I bought the bundle pre-swim hair defense, the shampoo, and conditioner. I wonder if I got an old bottle of conditioner because it just doesn’t smell good it smells like chamomile and weeds. Very odd. I do think the products work well but the smell of the conditioner is gonna turn me off from buying it again. The I’ll probably go back to Malibu for a conditioner.
