Do You Rinse Your Hair After A Swim?
Kate Moss, Jamie Hince and model gal pal Karen Mulder spent some time this week on a buddy's yacht in the South of France partying and taking in the surf and sand. After a dip in the Med, Karen cared for her long, blonde hair by rinsing it off with fresh water so that the salt from the sea didn't dry it out, whilst Kate just left her hair alone.

Do You Get Your Hair Wet When You Swim?

If you're swimming in the sea, the salt water is quite drying and can result in damaging tangles. Unless you're willing to do an Evian rinse and then apply an SPF enhanced product, chances are you're doing your hair an injustice by soaking it when you swim.
