Please let me know which serum you choose. I am looking into that invisible swim cap as well.
@diadall, do you make everyone wash their hair before getting in the pool? Coz if not, if someone had serum in her hair--which is what I've decided I'll be doing--it'd just look like they're getting into the pool with dry hair. One doesn't need oodles of serum to coat hair. A single coating of serum applied well is enough to seal hair so IMO may work better than conditioner.
I think when it comes to the pool, unless you have one in your home that is only for family and so rules are followed, you can't expect it to be clean. People fart in pools, people pee in pools, people's snort oozes out into pool, and if they have athlete's foot, then you know the fungus is getting a dip too....
It's like eating at a restaurant; you can't worry about what might be in the food if you can't see it. Either you turn a blind eye on what you don't know for sure and enjoy your food; or just don't eat out. I mean, when you're in a pool, there are so many things that could be going on with the folks sharing the pool that you don't know, so hair products seems like nothing under the circumstances. Granted no one wants to see frothing stuff floating in the pool from someone's head, but I'm assuming folks are also taking measures to keep most of these products on their hair while in water by wearing caps.
Considering all the gunk folks put in their hair on a daily basis, I'd bet my bottom dollar that my normally bare hair when coated with conditioner and wrapped with Saran wrap then covered with a cap while in a pool leaves way less "gunk" in the water than that head w/o anything on it but which for the last few days was coated with leave-in/moisturizer/sealant/oil or whatever.
ETA: And the reason for "coating" hair is to make access of chlorine to damaging your hair a little tougher. *shrug* That's why they even have products like the invisible swim cap treatment to use before going for a swim.
