What's the best way to detangle surf hair?  Imagine this: You've had an epic beach day, soaking up the sun and sea. Now, it's time to deal with the aftermath – tangled, salty hair. Enter Dip's Sunshield UVB Conditioner Bar, the post-swim magic your locks have been craving. Effortlessly detangling and nourishing, Dip's conditioner bar doubles as a UVB shield, ensuring our locks stay vibrant and healthy, even after a day under the sun. It's like having a personal bodyguard for our hair – stylish and smart.   This isn't just a conditioner; it's a lifestyle upgrade. From the eco-conscious vibes to the effortless application, it's a love story waiting to happen. I wish I had this conditioner sooner, but now that it's in my life, I'm never letting go.

"I have curly hair so a conditioner bar just won't work for me." We hear this over and over, yet our curly customers are our biggest advocates since the Dip conditioner bar can replace so many plastic bottled products including detangling sprays, leave in conditioners, hair masks, air-dry creams, curl creams, and deep conditioning masks. Conditioner bars have become increasingly popular as a sustainable alternative to traditional liquid conditioners. However, choosing the best conditioner bar for curly hair can be a daunting task... ...especially when you have a graveyard of conditioner bars that you've already tried and been disappointed by. Sound familiar?  It usually does.

 Women friendships (and the shared passions that go with them) are an untapped power source in our industry. These types of friendships can spark some amazing things, and going forward, Kassia and I are ready to put those to good use.  So this is the meet-cute story of how Dip was built with human connection, and not corporate emails, conference tables, & phone-tag. We invented a new kind of "board meeting". We met with surfboards in the wild: your friendly neighborhood Dipette, Kassia Meador, and the badass crew from Rise Up Retreats.

Your hair is also science. Your hair has building blocks and compounds and physical traits to it that differ and react to external factors. These can be physical factors such as "too-tight hair ties", chemical factors like dying, bleaching, and perming, or environmental factors like sun exposure and air pollution.

Living on North Shore, O'ahu I was surrounded by competitive and professional surfers. They all had their hair down (just look at action shots of Alana Blanchard, her sun soaked blonde hair reaches past her waist and she doesn’t tie it up) but I thought loose hair was only for the professionals, once you got good at surfing. I realized they just knew what I didn’t. Loose hair while surfing actually tangles less and therefore breaks less than hair tied up while surfing.
