help no straightners

[DONNA1458]

I am going camping and my hair is out of control without straigtners and dont want to be showing my forhead off any ideas people. TIA

cordless straighteners, failing that a hat

[mistys]

French plaits or some kind of braids.

Or you could shave it all off :)

Maybe the camp site has a wash room where you can plug them in. Vanity really defeats the camping philosophy of living with nature.

exactly who cares what you look like everybody else will be the same.

I am sorry Donna, but the idea of camping is to be away from the busy schedule of everyday life and form a bond with nature.

If I went camping with a bird who packed "hair straigtheners", I would not be happy!!!!

Take essential survival equipment, a spare pair of drawers or two and the actual camping gear (Tent, mat, sleeping bag, torch, stove and ruck sack)

Have one mobile phone between all of you (turned off, and used only in emergencies)

If you are worried about beauty and creature comforts, why not book in to a B&B instead?

Sorry if this sounds like I am knocking you, but hair straighteners whilst camping!!!!! Good God, are you taking eyelash curlers, a ladyshaver and high heels as well??

[B00]

yes wardy, i go camping and take all of the above!!!

Just because you're sleeping under canvas, there's no need to let your personal standards down. Most campsites are surprisingly modern complete with toilet/shower blocks where you can plug in hairdryers, straighters etc.

I am curious though - what the hell is up with your forehead that you can't bear for it to be seen?

Make sure there is a supermarket nearby, otherwise you might have to resort to your extreme Ray Mears survival training and eat those little brown berries that you find near rabbits.

Oh Booster Girl, I am disappointed!!!!!

[Lore]

I've always taken mine with me, most camp sites have toilet/shower facilities and they provide hairdryers and a socket to plug in those essential straighteners.

Other than that you could get one of those permanent straightening kits from Boots - they're around �14.

Hi DONNA, just put a brown paper bag over your head with two holes for your eyes, you wont have to make up your face either.
