4.0 out of 5 stars
Works as part of a system, June 14, 2010
This review is from: UltraSwim Chlorine-Removal Shampoo, 7-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 4) (Health and Beauty)
I have shoulder length, naturally blond hair and I am usually in the pool 3-4 days a week. I have always used Paul Mitchell's Shampoo Three which is designed to get chlorine out. That product always worked well for me but as a clarifying shampoo it can be very harsh/drying on my hair. I got the Ultra Swim to use everyday after swimming and now I only use the Paul Mitchell once a week along with a deep conditioning mask. This combo works well for me. The Ultra Swim doesn't get all the chlorine but leaves my hair fairly moisturized during the week and on Sundays the Paul Mitchell shampoo gets the rest of the buildup, and the deep conditioner really replenishes.
If you're a swimmer I can also recommend
It's A 10 Miracle Leave In Product, 4-Ounces. I use this everyday and it's extremely effective at preventing damage. I spritz and brush it through wet hair before I get in the pool, and then again after I shower. The most important thing you can do to help your hair is shower before you get in. Your hair will soak up the clean water and have less room for chlorine.

Superb! Takes the chlorine out and keeps hair healthy!, September 12, 2009
This review is from: UltraSwim Chlorine-Removal Shampoo, 7-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 4) (Health and Beauty)
I have thin, fragile hair (for years I was highlighting, perming, coloring, flat ironing, curling ironing, etc.). This shampoo is amazing! I've been swimming 3-4 times a week for 2 years now and even with the fragile hair I have, when I go to get it cut, every stylist that's touched my hair tells me that they cannot believe I swim. They say there is no chlorine damage and when they touch my hair, they cannot believe how healthy it feels (note--I've stopped all the damaging coloring, perming, etc. that I mention above, so that also helps).
I use this shampoo in the shower right after I come out of the pool. You need to be sure to use enough to get it to lather on your head and really activate (one review mentioned it doesn't lather---you may need a bit more---I've got hair half way down my back and even with all my hair, I get it to lather properly). I always time it and keep the shampoo in for at least 3 mins. (the conditioner says to leave in that long, so I figured I'd give the shampoo the same amount of time). I then use conditioner for 3 mins. (I do NOT recommend the UltraSwim Conditioner---use your favorite brand instead, as long as it's a good quality brand---see my review of the UltraSwim conditioner for details). I finish my shampooing with my favorite brand of volume shampoo. Earlier reviews talked about how this shampoo can leave your hair flat or greasy, etc. By finishing with my favorite volume shampoo, I'm sure the chlorine is out and them I get the body and bounce from another shampoo.
Even with all the swimming, my hair is healthier than ever. The pool I go to tends to over chlorinate the pool, yet I have absolutely no damage to my hair or even any signs that I swim. It's certainly not because I have great hair---it's all thanks to the UltraSwim Shampoo!

Gentle and clean, January 2, 2009
This review is from: UltraSwim Chlorine-Removal Shampoo, 7-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 4) (Health and Beauty)
I swim 4 or 5 times a week and have been using this now for over a month. It is gentle to my hair and seems to take most of the chlorine out. I still do have to use a harsh remover once every other week to get the extra but this does a good job in general. I recommend for the everyday user.
