Hair and body care products

[rubyru]

Hi all

I haven't been able to find a product that will protect my hair from the elements and still allow me to get a comb through it at the end of a dive. So I am making my own.

My question is - would you use it?

AND although there are lots of different ranges of hair and body products out there, some aimed at watersports people, some not. Do you think there is a market for a line specifically aimed at divers.

Let me know what you think in this thread or if you have time to answer a small survey in more detail then please email me at sand-dollar@hotmail.co.uk


Many thanks for your time and thoughts.

Nope...sorry.




Don't have that much hair.......

I doubt it, unless it prevented a perm from washing out. Don't really want more bottles of hair stuff, especially activity specific ones, and I'm not inclined to mess around putting stuff in my hair before a dive. Found a beanie does a pretty good job of helping with the hair situation for me.

My hair is long and artificially colored. I coat it w/Jojoba oil to minimize color fade and breakage (due to mask friction, sun damage and clorine).

My hair is long, think and naturally wavy, so I can relate to the not being able to get a comb through it after I dive - so I don't try.
I just shower post-dive and let the conditioner sit on it for a minute or so, then comb it out. Seems to work for me. I would think that adding any pre-dive products would just result in them washing out in the water.

I use "Cowboy Magic" which is like a silk. Clear and smooth. I have long hair and always have tangles, even if I braid it. The only thing that has ever helped me is a silk product. It's always in my dive bag...and in my bathroom.

You can get Cowboy Magic at horse feed stores. Yes, I use it on my horses manes and tails too. It's a dream!

Another thing that works is, Bio Silk (more expensive than Cowboy Magic) which you can get at most beauty supplies.

Nothing else has ever worked for me and I've tried it all...believe me!

I get out from a dive I put in a little conditioner and leave it. I just make sure that it is enviro friendly incase I get back in the water. It works great on my damaged bleached hair

hmm, I will try that! I used to use it on my horses loooooong western pleasure tail and bag her tail up the night before shows.


I would like a product that you have to wash out...that would stay in even in the ocean...like a greasy product that would really protect. I use pantene and a hood.

So at least someone knows what I'm talking about

I also use it for taking off my waterproof mascara. It doesn't sting the eyes and comes off instantly with a wet wash cloth. Try it!! I promise, it'll work!

When I was using Bio Silk, it says on the bottle good for hair and skin. Someone told me it removed makeup too. So I tried CB magic in the same way and it was just as good...just cheaper.
