PHILIP KINGSLEY Swimcap Chlorine Hair Protection Mask — 3.38 oz Water-Resistant, UV & Salt Guard

PHILIP KINGSLEY Swimcap is a water-resistant pre-swim hair mask that shields hair from chlorine, salt water and UV exposure while boosting hydration and shine.

Built from the brand’s professional legacy—originally created for synchronized swimming athletes—this lightweight mask forms a protective, nourishing barrier that helps reduce the drying and color-altering effects of pool chemicals and sea salt. The formula sits on damp hair during swimming or sunbathing, then rinses out easily, leaving color-treated and natural hair softer, more elastic, and less prone to dulling or the greenish tones sometimes seen in bleached hair.

How does Swimcap protect hair while I swim?

The mask creates a water-resistant layer that limits direct contact between hair and chlorinated or salty water. Instead of chemically stripping oils and color, the treatment helps maintain hydration and surface integrity while you swim.

• Applies to damp hair to form a protective film
• Water-resistant formulation reduces chemical penetration
• Rinse out after use; follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner

Will this prevent bleached or blonde hair from turning green?

Swimcap helps reduce the metal- and chlorine-triggered discoloration that can produce greenish tones in lightened hair. While it can’t change metallic buildup already present, routine use before swimming lowers the risk of future color shifts.

• Guards color-treated hair from chlorine and UV-related fading
• Helps maintain a cleaner, more vibrant blonde between salon visits
• Works best when used as a pre-swim step every time you enter chlorinated water

How do I use the mask and how does it feel on hair?

Apply the treatment to damp hair, distributing it evenly from roots to ends. Leave the mask in while swimming or sunbathing; it feels lightweight and tacky as it forms its protective layer, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo/condition as usual.

• Use on damp (not fully wet) hair for best adherence
• No need for a cap—formulation is water resistant and stays in place
• Rinses out cleanly; follow with normal haircare routine

What additional benefits does this product offer beyond protection?

Beyond defense from chlorine, salt and UV, the mask delivers hydration that improves elasticity and surface shine. It’s designed to support the look and feel of both natural and color-treated hair without heavy buildup.

• Hydrating ingredients improve bounce and manageability
• Helps reduce dryness commonly caused by sun and pool exposure
• Sustainable packaging and many formulas are vegan-friendly

Who is this for: Swimcap is ideal for regular swimmers, beachgoers and anyone spending extended time in the sun who wants to protect color-treated or naturally delicate hair. It suits people who prefer a simple pre-swim step that’s lightweight, water-resistant, and easy to rinse—particularly those seeking to preserve salon color, prevent chlorine-related discoloration, and maintain softness and shine between washes.
