One of the reasons for hair loss in women can be bathing in public pools, according to American researchers from the University of Wisconsin. Moreover, the condition of the head of hear affects both the air in the pool, and the content of harmful substances in the water.

Specialists conducted a study comparing the condition of hair in women using closed public pools once a week, and women who prefer to swim in natural sources. The length of the water procedures was also taken into account.

For example, both groups of women took aqua baths for at least 10 minutes for one procedure, including regularly for two years. In the course of the work it was found out that women swimming in swimming pools lost a third of hair, and the remaining ones were faded and became thinner. And the girls, swimming only in rivers and water bodies, did not notice any change in the quantity or quality of their hair, scientists said..

The fact is that for disinfection of public pools, a lot of bleach is added, and during evaporation pathogenic elements are formed, some of which falls on the body, in particular, on the head. Not to mention the fact that in the process of bathing, there is a direct contact of hair with chlorinated water. Even a rubber cap is not able to protect the landlady from the harmful effects of chlorine, since after basic water procedures followed by showers with the same water.
