How frizzy does curly hair get on the cruise?

[jiminyC_fan]

If I may ask, what does straightening cost and have you ever done it to see it it helps the frizz? I sure would be willing to do it if the price is right.

I usually pay $45 for the cut and the straightening. I have been straightening my hair for years and have had no problems. My daughter had hers done twice. The second time she lost a good bit of hair. The only thing we can figure out is that her hair was not in real good shape. Make sure yours is well conditioned. I saw an advertisement for an over the counter straightener in the Lucky magazine.

Wow, that is really, really cheap. We did it to my dd years ago and it was a mess. Fried ends etc. What the stylist did was just come in a perm solution. Is that what yours consists of or has things changed within 10 years?

It's an actual straighterner. I'm having mine done tomorrow and I'll let you know what she uses.

You are a doll, Alicia! Thanks

I have to tell you guys a funny story about the last time I cruised. We were on CC and of course my hair was frizzy, curly, wavy and totally uncontrollable. A very cute lady came up to me and said "face it, you are going to have to start wearing a HAT". Can you believe that? I thought it was funny. I will never forget that statement!!

speaking of Castaway, on our last cruise, I had my hair put up on Thursday for formal (semi?) night - we had friends on board doing a vow renewal so we really dressed up. The up-do was done WONDERFULLY and I ended up leaving it in and wearing it like that on Friday to the beach - it was much looser after sleeping on it, but still "up" enough (thanks to the 2700 bobby pins in it) to keep it off my face/neck and out of my eyes.

It did feel wonderful to wash it all out Friday afternoon before dinner tho!

I asked the question a while back. I also have naturally curly hair but I blow dry mine straight and sometimes use a straightener to make it super straight. When I am in WDW my hair will frizz up the minute I step outside and I end up wearing it in a ponytail if it is summertime. I have decided that it will be ponytails for me on the cruise too.

I had my hair professionally straightened yesterday. She charged $50 for the cut and the straightening. She said it was an Artek product and is meant just for straightening. I live in Alabama so if you live in New York in may be more expensive. I think it's worth it. My hair is straight as a board now. It's close to 100% humidity this morning and no frizz.

Hey guys- have the perfect answer!! It has worked for me wonders! Since I found the piece below- which is very easy to put on (and looks so real!!) I have had nothing but compliments on my cruises and all my photos are nothing but glamorous!!

Now- it comes in different colors (8-10) to naturally match your natural hair color- I have the "curly quick change" and it's nothing but like a scrunchie- and all I do is put up and go! Forget the other jazz I have tried before- like salon or straightening my hair before the cruise or all kinds of "frizz free" products- This was for sure best investment I have ever made. (Kept a secret from my husband- and even he was wowed! Could not believe was not real)

Trust me- tired and true! You would think I work for this co.- but I am so pleased- I just ordered the long curly piece...Should arrive in next couple days!!

Good luck- this is the best and easy way I have been able to handle...ORDER IT- YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY...
