I have heard rumors that synchronized swimmers knox their hair. What is this?
Knoxing is a synchro tradition that is used only for shows and competitions. Swimmers wear their hair in a tight bun on top of their heads. Knox, a type of unflavored gelatin, is applied to each swimmers hair to hold it in place. This gelatin shield will not dissolve in the pools cold water. After the competition is over, the gelatin washes out easily in a warm shower.
