coastal grl Pre-Swim Leave-In Hair Protectant — Chlorine & Saltwater Protection, Tropical Coconut Pineapple, 6.8 fl oz

Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM is a lightweight leave-in protectant that shields hair from chlorine, saltwater, sun and outdoor dryness while smoothing frizz and aiding detangling.

Whether you swim laps, lounge on the beach, or spend weekends by the pool, this multi-use cream creates a silky barrier that helps hair stay softer, easier to comb, and less brittle after exposure to water and sun. Formulated with nourishing oils, vitamins, and botanical quinoa, it’s safe for color-treated hair and extensions and doubles as a daily styling and conditioning product.

How does this product protect hair before swimming?

Applied to dry or damp hair before entering the water, the formula coats each strand to reduce direct contact with chlorine and salt. This protective layer helps limit moisture loss and surface damage that leads to tangling and rough texture.

• Creates a lightweight, water-resistant barrier on hair strands
• Helps reduce chlorine and saltwater penetration
• Includes siliceless slip from oils for easier post-swim combing

Will this help with frizz, tangles and dry ends after swimming?

The leave-in cream replenishes surface softness and improves manageability, so combing out knots is quicker and gentler. It smooths cuticle layers enough to reduce puff and flyaways without weighing hair down.

• Softens hair to make detangling faster and less damaging
• Controls frizz using argan and sweet almond oils for shine
• Suitable for all textures—from fine and straight to curly and coily

Is it safe for color-treated hair, extensions, and sensitive strands?

Yes — the formula is hairdresser-approved for color-treated hair and extension-friendly, formulated to be gentle while providing conditioning benefits. Vitamins B5 and E plus grapeseed oil help support strand resilience without harsh drying agents.

• Color-safe ingredients that won’t strip dyes
• Lightweight finish to avoid slipping out tape-in or bonded extensions
• Free of heavy silicones that can build up on delicate hair

How else can I use Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM besides as a pre-swim protectant?

The product is versatile: use it as a leave-in after washing, a heat protectant before styling, a smoothing blow-dry cream, curl cream, or a pre-shampoo treatment for extra moisture. Its tropical coconut pineapple scent leaves hair smelling fresh without overpowering.

• Apply a small amount to damp hair as a daily leave-in conditioning step
• Work through ends before heat styling to reduce frizz and breakage
• Use before shampoo as an intensive detangling/rinse-out step

Who is this for: Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM is made for swimmers, beachgoers, vacationers, and active people who want to protect hair from outdoor and pool exposures while keeping styling simple. It works well for anyone with dry, frizzy, color-treated, or extension-enhanced hair and suits those seeking a single product for both pre-swim protection and everyday leave-in conditioning.
