My hair is too crazy for this class trip!

Dear Advice Girl,

I have extremely curly and uncontrollable hair, and I usually straighten it. Well, here's the prob...I'm going to the country this month for my school trip, and our teacher says no electronics. That means no straightener!

How the heck will I be able to maintain my hair while on the trip? I'm not letting it become a frazzled mess!

Signed,
   Alethia

Dear Alethia,

If you're naturally curly, it's a crying shame you never wear it that way. Especially when you're out in the country, far away from your high maintenance life, you owe it to your curls to go au natural. (Don't be one of those girls who can't go for a walk in the woods without a suitcase full of beauty supplies!)

To minimize the frizz, wash your hair in the morning, add some anti-frizz gel and let it dry naturally. Don't brush it - just use your fingers to form curls while it's still damp.

And don't be nervous about stepping out with curly hair. I guarantee your classmates will think it's cool.

 

Love,
   The Advice Girl

I've learned that it really doesn't matter what you're hair looks like, I always ends up screwed up by the end of the day anyways. But if you're so conserned, put in in up-do's (Like a pony-tail, bun, of clip) These save me atleast twice a week

Yeah.. I think because I dye my hair so much, that after I shower, it just becomes perfectly straight. (Sucked all the life out of it.) xDD But don't worry, put some gel/mousse on it, let it air dry, and it'll be.. Semi-wavy and not what you perceive it to be. ^^

well, first of all, its pretty screwed up that you cant have anything electrical. i would probably shrivel up and die without my straightener. i straighten my hair everyday cuz, when its natural, its really wavy. but if i were in your shoes, i would just pull my hair up in a tight knot and keep it that way. if you wanted to wear it down, they have great products, like gels and stuff, that can turn the bushy and frizzy part of your hair into nice curls. one of the things i reccomend is garnier fructis curl construct shaping gel. they sell it at dollar stores and it works good cuz my mom has hair like yours and it turns hers into nice, big curls.
