After swimming in a chlorinated pool, rinse your hair with club soda as these will counter the adverse effects of chlorine. You can also rinse your hair with clear water, and use a shampoo containing sodium thiosulfate afterwards. This ingredient removes the odor and color of chlorine from your hair, which is important as chlorine causes hard metals in water like copper and iron to cause a green discoloration. Shampoo with glycerin or aloe are also great as they function as a natural moisturizer that combats drying. If the damage is so great that you experience hair breakage and severe dryness, get a hot oil treatment at a salon which will reduce and eliminate breaks up to six weeks.
