Hair control

Carol's daughter product called "Mimosa Hair honey" ... smells great & conditions and my 1.5mm hood helps too, without it my hair is a snarled mess!

I have thick curly hair and the only thing that will hold my hair in the water is a fabric schruncie. It seems that when the fabric gets wet, it holds tighter.

I've been using a new gel made from an extremely water resistant polymer that even keeps my hair in place during attacks from vicious sea creatures. I recommend it highly!!!!

I have shoulder length fine hair, so I ends up with the wispies all around my face, no matter what I used to pull it back. I ended up using 'Dee Rags' for a number of years (made by Dee here on SB) and then just recently bought a couple of Squid caps from a link someone else had shared out on the boards. I'd always been interested, as my DM in Coz wears one, but they were pricey. This site - the prices were great, so I bought two. We'll see how they work for my Florida trip.

Highfeedback's Squid Cap is for scuba diving, water sports & paintball!

Mine is fine and straight so may not help with the curleys nor medusa.

French braid from the very top, ton of spray on leave in conditioner seems to stick the wisps back pretty well. Splash some water before putting on hood and slick it back too, for bangs mostly. Put on hood carefully, aiming to use it to also pull back all the strays. Mask on carefully hanging on to the hood to keep from pulling it back too far.
Have to say, found nothing to look more than ‘sporty’ as in wearing heels will look really out of place.
A lot more spray on conditioner before combing out the braid with a fat tooth comb. Tangling a big problem and begin combing from the bottom of each strand. Once up to neck it’s a nightmare so a lot more spray on conditioner.

When my hair was long I also kept a small bottle of spray-on detangler (I used VO5 Detangle and shine, which is cheap and works) in my dive bag for use after diving. It made a big difference.

After a dive, I use VO5 Sheer Hairdressing with a wide tooth comb to get out the tangles.

This stuff really works because it is so slippery.

I keep a small bottle of "bio-silk" in my dive bag. i have very fine (but loads of) curly hair and it flies away and tangles into a mess.

2nd benefit of bio-silk is it can also be used on your skin, so i also rub it on my legs, feet, arms, hands, etc during surface intervals to help fight the crazy dryness.

Also, the quarries I am usually in have so many little creatures that I never find myself without a hood anyway, so even though it adds to the tangles, it takes care of the flyaways (as long as I can get it all into the hood!)

I use these Buff Wear Collection: Original Buff, Buff Headwear and Buff Bandana the are like the buffs worn on survivor....and can fit over your whole head and your mask strap hold it in place...no stray hairs around the face..

I also use DeeRags and they also work well Welcome to the home of Dee Rags!
