I smooth it in my hair, particularly on my hair along the hairline, and where my scrunchie goes, just before putting my cap on and swimming laps. When I go to wash out my hair after swimming, it is soft and not stripped of natural oils like it is when swimming without a pre-conditioner. It also seems to help my cap last longer. (I use a fabric-type cap with water resistant coating on the outside.) With that said, it is not great if I leave it in my hair longer than a few minutes before swimming. I have had a couple of instances where I couldn’t swim when I had planned and it dried in my hair and made it feel brittle and more breakable until I could rinse it out. It works great if you swim and then rinse off right away. Don’t let it fully dry in your hair if at all possible before swimming/rinsing off. If you do, don’t comb or brush your hair until you rinse it off. (I suspect this would be the case with most conditioners, honestly.) This is my second bottle—it is worth the money. It really helps protect my hair when swimming and I will keep using it. Review: The best!!! - I absolutely love this product! It’s been a total game changer in keeping my hair soft in the pool. I’m in the pool 5 days a week for 3-5 hour shifts and I always put this in before I get in the pool. immediately when your hair gets wet it detangles and becomes soft. At the end of my shift I wash it out with shampoo (not necessary) and put a hair mask on my hair. With all of that together my hair is able to stay relatively healthy while in the pool. On days I don’t use this product my hair often gets tangled and feels very dry in the water, this makes sure your hair stays protected inside the water and keeps it soft after rinsing it out. I don’t know what I’d do without this!!! ## Features - Better than Shampoo - it stops chlorine damage before it starts! - Prevents green hair; Protects natural color. - Smooths and protects from dryness and brittleness. - Maintains hair health. - How to Use: Using AquaGuard is easy! Simply dampen your hair before swimming, and apply a generous amount of pre-swim hair defense- paying special attention to ends. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XYJDG7T | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #26,374 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #261 in Hair Treatment Masks | | Brand | AQUA GUARD | | Brand Name | AQUA GUARD | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 806 Reviews | | Hair Conditioner Type | Leave-In Hair Conditioner | | Hair Type | All | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Liquid Volume | 16.9 fluid ounces | | Manufacturer | Underwater Audio | | Manufacturer Part Number | AqGrd-Parent | | Material Feature | Gluten Free, Vegan | | Material Features | Gluten Free, Vegan | | Material Type Free | Dye Free, Gluten Free, Mineral Oil Free, Paraben Free, Sulfate Free | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | No Box | | Product Benefits | Protection from Pool Chemicals | | Recommended Uses For Product | Pre-Swim Hair Protection | | Scent Name | Sweet Almond | | Size | 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Ingredients | Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Aloe Leaf Juice | | UPC | 860002494302 | | Unit Count | 16.9 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AQUA GUARD - **Hair Type:** All - **Item Form:** Cream - **Material Feature:** Gluten Free, Vegan - **Product Benefits:** Protection from Pool Chemicals ## Images ![AQUA GUARD Pre-Swim Hair Defense | Family Size for More Swims Per Bottle | Prevents Chlorine Damage + Softens Hair While Swimming | Made in California | 16.9 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nHS0KWuqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the ingredients for this product?** A: Hi Danielle,Thank you for your question!

I don't use it to prevent chlorine damage. I have well water and the minerals in our water tend to dull and discolor my highlighted hair. The pre-swim hair defense works great to block the minerals from being deposited on my hair and my highlights and color last much longer. The Aqua Guard leave in detangler is great, too! ## Frequently Bought Together - AQUA GUARD Pre-Swim Hair Defense | Prevents Chlorine Damage + Softens Hair | Color Safe, Great Smelling | Made in California | 16.9 oz - Ultra Swim Chlorine Removal & Hard Water Treatment Moisturizing Shampoo, 7 Ounce - AquaGuard Pre-Swim Hair Defense | Prevents Chlorine Damage + Softens Hair | Made in California | Color Safe, Great Scent | 5.3 oz (2 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/180611562-aqua-guard-pre-swim-hair-defense-family-size-for-more](https://www.desertcart.at/products/180611562-aqua-guard-pre-swim-hair-defense-family-size-for-more) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
