Chis' Golden Locks
Chis' golden locks, you say? Definitely not golden?
Bleached in the sun, like wheat in the summer?
Something in the water has brought yellow to Chis' lovely white hair. And a blue rinse is not on the dance card quite yet. We figured the Norfolk barber would solve the issue. Partially.
We had heard of a shampoo that would "brighten" gray and white hair.
First, in New York, late August. Aveda "Hair Detoxifier". $40. Didn't work.
Then, L'Oreal "Kids Swim & Sport Shampoo" in Biddeford Pool, Maine. Mid-September. $4. Promised to take chlorine out of kids' hair. "For the active kid". And a "splash of sunny orange". Didn't work.
Finally, Clairol's "Shimmer Lights". Norfolk, Virgina. Late October. Post barber. $8. "Brightens white and gray hair. Shampoos away yellow." While on early trials, it seems to be working.
I can report that the first grey hair has arrived in my beard. Days at sea without shaving (not age) have brought this to light.
