Nice table and chairs, sarameg. Also, can I just say, CV has one cute ass baby. Given how I'm crap at breeding, it's rare to see a newborn that makes me want one of my own, but DAMN. Luna makes me feel that way.
Just re-dyed my hair. I'm amused I missed at least one of the gray hair's I'm always trying to hide. Also, Clairol Natural Instincts = do not love. Back to Natural Match.
sara, thank you. I've marked your post. I have longish hair and mostly don't want to have to wash it every day that I swim. I will check out those caps and hope my head is shaped right for using them!
Luna is a very beautiful newborn, it's true.
I use feria. Yesterday. Kinda seems like a losing battle to dye my hair when the pool will bleach out pieces, but...hey, no pool for 48+ hours this weekend, that's prime time! Plus, covers my white bits.
java, depending on how much success you have with the cap, you might be able to get away with just conditioning it after a swim. You might also google chlorine-cancelling washes if you don't want to use shampoo. I've not done that, just resorting to shampoo after a swim.
Thanks sara, I really appreciate all of the info.
Yeah, I used to use Ultraswim shampoo and condition to minimize the green. It's not a hundred percent, but better. And your hair is a lot darker than mine to start so it might not be so obvious to begin with.

I thought they discontinued Natural Match? I love Natural Instincts, been using it for years.
I tried ultraswim, but didn't see the difference for the money (but my pool is ultra chlorinated and my hair is dark.) I debated adding baking soda to my shampoo, but haven't tried it yet. It's a base, might shut down any process going on after swim. Can't really do anything about the marination in the 40-60 minutes in the pool.
And your hair is a lot darker than mine to start
Everybody's hair is darker than yours. Even mine.
So, I went back to the bar and talked to the new shift. One guy and gal.
She's a Renee Zellwegger lookalike with goth black hair. He's got the wide cheekbones and lean hips thing.
Chatting her up: She's got a 14 y.o. and a 2 y.o. She had the older when she was 17.
But the guy was Not A Young Parent, and a bass player. So we talked about the bass all night which drew in conversation with another guy at the bar (from Boise), and much music talk happened. And I had the shrimp cocktail.
