Salt water shampoo

Post by Catigale »

Not sure if Ive ever shared this, but in saltwater, Loreal 'no more tears' kids shampoo works great in salt water.

I actually spend a week on Cuttyhunk and wash hair in the ocean every other day - works well on the girls hair too. For long hair, we solar shower them to get the salt out, which keeps them from getting tangled. I dont have enough hair to tangle... :| :|

Joy is my shampoo.Has been for 20 years. Works great also for gently washing the non-reflective coated on the lenses of my glasses and for washing down the deck. Sometimes even for hand washing dishes.

I like to use the all in one body wash and shampoo. Not much salt water around here though.

On a grosser side note, growing up on the beach surfing, I never used soap. Salt water, sand and wave action do a wonderful job of keeping you clean. I would rinse off at the right of way (beach shower) to get some of the salt off of me then head off to school but only used soap when some haole would leave a bar there. That was the only shampoo my hair saw for 10-15 years.

As Napoleon is rumored to have written to his beloved Josephine... "Be home in 3 weeks. Don't bathe."
