| - Went to TrueRest on Saturday and used a Groupon I had purchased.
After a 5 minute cheesy but kinda funny intro video, the 2 other newbs and myself were shown to a pod room and given a rundown on what to do. We were then escorted to our rooms.
I will say that the float itself was kinda interesting. I imagine if I were floating in the Dead Sea in Israel, it would be similar to floating in the pod. After my float, I showered up and got dressed, I went to head back to the little oxygen bar area to chill for a little while, partake in a cup of tea and maybe try out the oxygen (for an additional fee). But the 4 seats they have in that little waiting area were taken. So I just headed back up to the front, checked out, and left.
Now according to the website - "Salt can be corrosive to clothes, but is great for skin and hair." Well it was horrible for my hair (which is thick and curly). I had to stop by my salon because after my float, my hair was fried. All of the moisture was robbed from my hair and it was a hot mess. Even after my hair guy got my hair washed, conditioned and gave me a good dose of Moroccan oil, my hair still feels dry and dull. I'd hate to say it but, maybe there should be a disclaimer on the website, "if you have ethnic hair..the salt is going to trash your hair."
With chronic knee (from my surgery in 2011) and shoulder pain, I had hoped this salt float would help alleviate my pain. My shoulder hurts worse than it did going in, my knee has been creaky, and I've had 2 migraines (I rarely have migraines. And I drink plenty of water, at least a gallon a day). So all in all, I've felt like sh*t since my float.
Would I float again, probably not.
