YES!

I was told by the people at the gym I go to that their pool is treated with bromine, which is gentler on your hair and skin. However, even after only swimming in their pool once or twice, my skin was itchy and my hair had a weird film on it. My hair is dry and tangly and for some reason I can't seem to get the residue off. I've tried both UltraSwim for pool hair and a clairifying shampoo.

Bromine treated pools do cause hair damage and they make your hair feel like crap. Wear a swim cap!

Does chlorine affect hair growth?

Chlorine is just about one of the WORST chemicals or substances that could ever meet your hair and skin. Since it is a cleaning fluid, it dries out your hair, leaving it brittle and turning it a light color. If you have black, red, or brown hair, your hair will look lighter than it normally does. It doesn't really stunt growth but it dries out hair terribly.
