MY HAIR IS DRIVING ME NUTS. What do you actually use to put your long hair back and protect it during long dives?
Hey everyone! I’m a diver based in BC, Canada and I am completely losing the battle with my long hair. I dive for work, and after long dives, my hair is a knotted disaster. I have noticed this is a common issue across the board, from the freezing BC coast to the tropics.
Due to these frustrations, I have started looking into the feasibility of creating an all-climate, heavy-duty marine hair utility stick. The goal is a formula that locks your hair in place but also keeping it hydrated and healthy —all while being 100% reef-safe for long hours in the ocean.
Because of my day job, this is just a slow-cook, long-term project to see if a real dual-climate solution is even possible. If you deal with this problem your feedback is critical!
- What products, braids, or hacks do you currently use to protect/keep your hair out of your face?
- What completely fails about those methods? For cold and tropical diving
- Have you ever actually spent money on a specialized hair product specifically for the ocean to help with this problem?
I would love to hear your feedback. This will help me understand if this is an ongoing issue and one worth solving.
Thank you!
