Hello everyone!

Hi alex56340, thank you for the compliment!

Welcome! I too spend a ton of time in salt water and sun (and wind!). When I was young I used to get blond streaks in my very dark hair from the sun and loved the look back then...I was ignorant to the damage I was inflicting from not only the sun, but the waves, sand, and salt water. Fast forward to a complete 180. Now I wear a UV Buff to protect from sun and wind, a swim cap and bun to protect from getting knots in the waves, and wet it down and often use a small bit of conditioner or shea butter to control dryness. I'm not so concerned about the salt. I rinse and condition after every day at the beach or boating. My hair and the beach/ocean live in harmony these days

Thank you for sharing your experience, SandyBottom! I can not wait to grow the bleach out, but I suppose patince is the only thing that will get me there.

You're welcome and good luck on your journey!
