I found this on a website that claims to offer helpful tips to long-hairs:
"*Worried About Salt?
You are at the beach and your hair is full of salt water? Should you wash it out immediately? Not necessarily. Companies are now using salt in their product formulations to give that very same look.
*Styling Products For Long Hair
Are you using enough? Keep this in mind when adding your gel or mousse. If you aren't using enough, you won't get the results you are looking for."
SALT Salt is used as a filler and thickener in many hair products. It is treated and mixed with neutralising ingredients. This is not the same as sea-water. The effects of leaving brine in your hair are drying out of the scalp, damage to the hair cuticle and encouraging split ends and roughness of the hair overall. Patent nonsense.
STYLING PRODUCTS Well, you have to use sufficient product to get the results you want. Any more is a waste and any less is ineffective.
Hope that helps��

So salt is ok, but seawater, which they say you should leave in, actually cooks your hair? Because of the impurities? Ah-ha. The swimming pool thing's not been worked out yet, has it?
I wondered about the styling products, because I always read and see people saying that they weigh down your hair and make it look dull. I wonder if they were selling something? The site did say things like "you must cut your hair at least every six weeks" and didn't mention that you shouldn't dry your hair totally with a hair drier, and leave some moisture. I don't think the models had awe inspiring hair. Shoulder length, on what claimed to be a long hair site. Will people never change?
Having shoulder-length hair might be long from the perspective of someone who has always had very short hair. But from my knee-length perspective, shoulder-length hair is bordering on short.
FWIW, my hair doesn't like styling products. They tend to gunk up my hair and getting rid of the buildup is a pain.
I agree with Dave. When I had long hair-(past my waist)- I never used styling products either, they just gunk up your hair. Just use a good shampoo and conditioner, that is all you need!
I was wearing a bob style for awhile and with that style I sometimes used hairspray to make it look "perfect", but most of the time I didn't use anything on it.
Now that I wear my hair short in a short pixie, I don't use gels or any of that either, like some women with short hair do.
Hair looks better and feels better if you don't gunk it up with stuff!
