My fingers get eaten up when I do my hair and have bad gloves so I get the idea of doing it for hours upon hours. Icky. There should be danger pay for that.

There would be if I weren't a contracted worker I suppose.

I don't know if anyone suggested it or not but use a rubber band on the top of the gloves

just tight enough to keep stuff out but

poor fingers =(

This is the 1st day since that they haven't felt like they are on fire... though now it feels like I dipped the tips in super glue and let it dry... except when they're wet everything feels slimy because there's no texture on the finger pads.

Ew.

Conclusion = Bleach is the DEVIL

Fortunately I have a big old bottle of St. Ives oatmeal & shea butter lotion. It's saved me.

I think I need longer gloves... and I'll try the rubber band thing, though I'm pretty sure they will snap from the chemicals... is worth a try, no?

I totally gotta say how much I respect you. That's not an easy job and a lot of people wouldn't do it. Bleach does suck, I remember that from my coffee shop days when I'd be the designated drain cleaner. Keep on truckin :)

It sucks double since I'm actually allergic to the stuff...
but I digress.

But thanks for the moral boost.

Miss YOU!!!
