    I would also not bring hair dye to the ship, so start planning on get close to natural colour again or changing to a colour thatwont show at the roots so bad......the hair dye chemicals will make a mess of the sewage system and kill all the wee beasties, this will make you unpopular :-)

    As for long hair, it dosent need to be too pinned down, remember you will have to wear hard hat on occasions and I can imagine too many hair grips will be pain full under a hard hat, while I don't think you need to go mad I would seriously think about a slightly shorter hair cut, one that will last and keep some sort of style while it grows out for 4 months, most seven pointynstar hair dressers are of the "short back and slap" variety.

    Yes I work for the big blue canoe company.
    No I do not report things from here to them as they are quite able to come and read this stuff for themselves.

      Well if she's going to cross the equator it won't be a problem....

        It also goes green if you guys put too much chlorine in the FW system

          Yeah! Did wonders for my hair and complexion! Still had oil coming out my ears 3 days later...

          I'm the one on the right!

          Oh! And we spent a whole day cleaning the poop deck afterwards!

            We don't put chlorine in the fresh water any more, silver ion sterilisation and chlorinate shower heads every 3 or 6 months....I forget which (2 / n job anyways :-) and in the PMS when due)

                No need to go mad, a bob(?) Or short to medium pony tail type style is fine just not masses of "rock chick" hair......hope to god that you understand as that is about the limit to my hair dressing knowledge, unless you want a no. 1 or 2 or 3 all over (don't carry anything longer!!!)

                    my hairs due in for an MOT anyway, so i'm thinking i'll just get it shoulder length, easy enough to put up without having to chop it all off. Problem solved!

                        Did we manage to do that? I was only aware of the dodgy brown stuff we acquired in Egypt and spent weeks trying to get rid of

                            Trip to the local clap clinic solve that?

                            Should have worn your "wellington boots"!

                              We used it to super chlorinate the FW system - it had 200+ ppm chlorine in it - no way anything was alive in it!
