I use the product name for clarity, but in actuality, we don’t have saran wrap in the house. We have food service film, or some such thing–a gigantic box of plastic wrap we bought at Sam’s Club. It’s a good thing we have so much plastic wrap, or I might have cringed at the idea of my daughter wrapping her head in plastic wrap before putting on a latex swim cap.

You see, I made the poor planning mistake of getting my daughter a hair appointment the day before she went to work at the pool. She had been wanting to try the saran wrap solution we discovered from the Hampton University Aquatics Director. Now the stakes were just a little higher, is all.

It worked, for the most part. Her hair maybe got a little wet, and I am not sure whether that was from sweating or actual pool water. But she was far from drenched, and even managed to keep most of her hairstyle. Score! I can’t wait to try it myself.
