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!

What is 'shocking' is it done with both chlorine and bromine pool sanitizers?
When chlorine is added to pool water in the normal manual manner, it reacts with radicals (ammonia, sweat, bacteria etc) and supposedly oxidizes (kills) it. Most times the resultant compound is what is known as a chloramine, or 'chlorine compound' and these are what contribute to all fo the unfavorable aspects related to 'chlorine'. They smell bad, they hurt your eyes, they damage your skin, hair and bathing suit (etc etc). When you 'shock' a pool and raise the free-chlorine level to 10 times the level of the chloramines, the latter are broken down into filterable material and no longer possess their obnoxious properties. This is why a saline system works so well, because the water is constantly shocked as it passes through the electrolytic 'cell'. Therefore, no chlorine smell, no red eyes, no damaged skin, hair and bathing suits. I am not sure if you shock a bromine pool in the same way, but bromine is on its way out due to health concerns relating to 'bromates'. Search the internet for 'bromates' and see what you find. Already a couple of bromine generator companies have closed down reportedly due to the problem.
What is the effect of chlorine on the curl of hair?
The effect of chlorine on hair is to bleach it. A secondary effect is damage. If the curl is artificial (permed), then the hair will relax. If the curl is natural, then no appreciable damage is evident.
Does bromine affect human body in positive or negative way?
Small quantities are broken down in the stomach, in the bloodstream, and excreted through the kidneys. Larger quantities (200-500 mg/kg of body weight, based on suicide attempts by hair dressers), include destruction of nerves (permanent deafness), anemia (damage to existing red blood cell's haemoglobin), and shutdown of the kidneys.
Why does a balloon cause the hair on your arm to raise?

Does chlorine kill head lice?
I dunno, but I honesty wouldn't try!Chlorine from a swimming pool will not kill lice.They can shut down their respiratory system for over 10 hours.If you put chlorine on your childs hair it isn't safe!You are much better off to put conditioner and olive oil to the head to suffocate the live lice.Then you can immobilize them and comb them out. One doesn't need harsh chemicals to kill lice.They need to be suffocated by something thick,then combed out!All nits must be removed as well or lice will return!www.myhairhelpers.comI'm not sure, but if it does, it would be needed in high concentration which would damage the hair. I read in ascientific journal that blow-dryin your hair can kill lice by drying them up...it might but it will damage your hairYes chlorine can kill the head lice and can even corrode the hairsNo it doesn't. It's probably possible that chlorine could kill lice, but it would have to be in such high concentrations that it would seriously hurt a human. And, unfortunately, lice can hold their breath in water so you can't really drown them either.Well, for one, it depends on how long you are in that pool. If you hang out in that pool for 3 hours, they most likely already drowned. Chlorine itself can kill lice eggs, and lice, but then again, the amount of diluted chlorine in pools, mixed with other chemicals, just leads to only a few actually dying. There isn't enough chlorine in standardized american pools to kill lice.Yes it could because chlorine is to strong for them to handle so eventually they will die.Chlorine from pools will NOT kill lice bugs but it can kill the nits, the lice eggs, because the chemicals are too much pressure so they'll never hatch and die. But the lice will still live.
Does chlorine in swimming pools affect your hair if you have dyed it brown?
It certainly can. The chemicals (not actually literally "chlorine", but that's a common name for them, and they do often contain chlorine) used to disinfect swimming pools are generally bleaching agents to a greater or lesser extent, and will frequently cause hair to lighten in color. They can also cause damage to the hair itself.

Can you use copper sulfate in swimming pools?
yes, just don't use too much I would not recommend using copper sulphate in a pool. It is an algaecide but it stains pools and is what causes hair to turn green. There are better algaecides available. It is not a sanitizer and is not a substitute for chlorine or bromine.
