Surviving a festival

Subject: Surviving a festival Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:43 am

Ok, so I mentioned in music that in June I am off to Download, which means I have to go 4 days with no straightners . So, I was wondering if you guys had any advice on how I can get round this as when I wash mine if I don't straighten it it just goes uncontrollably frizzy and wavy. Any help would be greatly appreciated Smile

try a leavein conditioner, and just french braid your hair back into a bun on the back of your head.

you could wear a crazy hairband or clips if you want it to look cooler?

Awesome, thanks Lil, I've just started using this Aussie leave in conditioner and it is great and is designed to protect against like hot conditions and all that so that is definately going with me, I think I could like survive a day, maybe two without washing my hair at a push(dry shampoo may prove to be a god send). So plaiting and braiding seems like a good option to me. Does anyone have any pictures of good festival friendly styles, because I'll probs have more chance figuring out how to do it if I see it:)? I'm going with my bf so I want to stay atleast half presentable lol!

usually if i want my hair to stay off my face i do this but it looks bad now cos i haven't washed my hair for a few days and i have loads of product residue, sorry!

basically just french braid my fringe/bangs and then clip them back. and then i put the rest of my hair in a bun!

Hats. Lol. Your hair gets really dirty right away. Its gross

Subject: Re: Surviving a festival Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:44 pm

yeahh, or thick hairbands! they cover up your roots so you an leave the rest to be au natural!

also, you can buy dry shampoo which you spray onto your hair and brush through which my sister has and got from superdrug it's by Batiste (i think that's how it's spelt). It's around £5 i tink but it works like a dream (my sister has naurally curly hair and uses it so the can keep it straight for longer, so it should work for you).

you can use dry shampoo, and straightening creme - it straightens your hair without heat [it should at least] and keeps hair smooth. paired with dry shampoo, it should work.

hats work too. I love my beret, but its too big for my now short hair, so I need a smaller one. they'll work nicely for you, if you like hats like that.

scarves and headbands work nicely too.

awesome, thanks for the suggestions guys Smile

Subject: Re: Surviving a festival Mon Apr 07, 2008 6:11 pm

I agree with all the above especially hats and scarves... although tbh you will kinda forget about your hair after the first day, there's too much going on and lets face it no-one is looking their best (except the cop-outs that arrive in motorhomes!!)

haha, if only i could take the caravan thats in my garden with me... hahaha nah a tent is all part of the fun but i know how paranoid i get about my hair and that i am gonna get really irritable about it. hehe

Depending on how wavy/curly your hair is, straightening creams don't always work that well. I think dry shampoo and leave in conditioner are really good ideas.

I'd probably just tie it up in a messy ponytail. Always looks hot Smile

you have long hair? You could put your hair in two pigtail braid things, thats what I do when I don't have motivation to actually do my hair...and generally it ends up looking cute.

Subject: Re: Surviving a festival Wed Apr 09, 2008 7:27 am

yeah i have reasonably long hair i just dont do pigtails often cos i have layered hair and it gets so thin at the ends that they tend to curve out and i look slightly like a demonic milk maid or something
