You have some of the BlueMax CCS, right? If not email me, I have a few samples laying around and I will send you some.

The key is sunscreen. That's why I am asking, as one of the primary ingredients is an organic sunscreen. It will also help to seal the cuticle and prevent the chlorine and salt water from damaging the hair.

For fade protection there are other products out there that contain sunscreen agents, but I would question whether or not they use a decent concentration, as they very expensive ingredients.

The other alternative is to use actual sunscreen like you would use on your skin. Never tried it myself, but I think Reubin or one of the other guys does this and says it works. I have tried various skin creams and such and they didn't leave the hair looking very good, but I'm sure anything with a decent amount of sunscreen would protect the hair.

For concealer, the only one that I have personally used is Dermmatch which seems to hold up fairly well in water. From what I gather some of the others don't hold up as well when wet. Dino says he likes Couvre. Not sure how that holds up in water though. Don't know if I would trust any of them for a day of scuba diving or snorkeling.......
