SummerBeee Posted September 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi ladies I love to cruise and have several b2b scheduled, longest is 5 weeks. My naturally curly hair is high maintenance, ok if inside all day - gets crazy out in the humidity. It also dislikes the ship water and my favorite hair dryer is bulky, and then there is all the products I’ve been thinking about getting a wig. Anyone have history of wearing a wig on board? Any tips, tricks, advice? My fear is that it would fly off my head. Feel free to private message if you prefer to give advice that way. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, you will get answers from all cruise lines. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/107-cruise-fashions-amp-beauty/ Personally, a wig in hot/humid weather would drive me crazy. I have curly hair, but it’s short, so manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PurpleHays Posted September 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Mine frizzes in the humidity and I let it. After all, I'm on vacation--so is my hair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted September 12, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm with PurpleHays here. I let my hair have a vacation. Some of my best hair comes out on vacation and I wish I could get it that way here at home where I don't have humidity. Look into a travel diffuser to help shape your hair. Don't go the wig route!!! That would be miserably hot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, I'm on vacation--so is my hair. plus 9 million!!!!! We were in SE Asia a few years ago. Not on a cruise. 100 degrees and 98% humidity. I have straight hair which IMO is worse than curly in that environment. Beginning with day 2 I just pulled it back and forgot about it. When we got home I got a short cut. Right, it's a vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissie Posted September 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 15, 2021 We normally travel for at least 6 weeks - next year have 4 months plans to make up for lost time. I have 2 approaches to my hair, let it grow long enough to tie back and ignore it - or cut it short and ignore it. If the weather is hot and humid I'll have a hat on anyways. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ysolde Posted September 16, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I have long, curly hair that frizzes at the drop of a hat in humid weather. On longer cruises, I budget for a blow-out at the on-board salon once a week (my hair doesn't need more than that). I even go in for the kerastase treatment they have (I forget the name) that smooths out frizzy hair for weeks at a time (usually much cheaper on board than on land). This makes it so much easier to take care of my hair when I get home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiel3290 Posted October 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If long enough to put up, my solution is African butterfly clips. I twist my hair in a not and put up with these clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted October 13, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The ship's water is EXTREMELY soft, which makes it hard to rinse the shampoo....so only use about 1/4 of your normal amount...that really helps me! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soozles Posted November 2, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I just got a magic sleek treatment, and it’s amazing. My hair is so low maintenance now, I take a shower, and I can let it air dry and it dries straight and frizz free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kati66 Posted March 31, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I am right there with you and have considered a wig for my upcoming cruise but wasn't taking into account how hot they can be 😞 I'm cruising with my sister so I might just blow it dry and ask her to braid it for me every day.

Rare Mary229 Posted April 5, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) My mother and sister who wear wigs and live in a warm climate tell me they are hot and uncomfortable unless you clip your hair very short. I have mastered pins and sticks. Easy do Edited April 5, 2022 by Mary229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted April 11, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I have very curly, frizzy hair. I just wash and use gel, and let it dry at home and at sea. I gave up!! I want easy now and it looks good too. (so I have been told). I did cut it short a few years ago, because I got tired of waiting for it to dry in a cold winter climate.

I just wash and use my "product of the moment" to help with the curls. I used to blowdry it for work, but I gave up on that this year and just let it do it's thing. I've been told it looks good also. In the Winter, I just use a light diffusing to get the process going. By the time I get to work, it's done. I'm just below shoulder-length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted April 13, 2022 #17 Share Posted April 13, 2022 So I cut 4 inches Sunday. It is now short enough to wash and air dry after applying plenty of chi oil to my curly locks. Chi is a great lightweight product for waves and curls if you want a tamed wash and go look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted November 4, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 4, 2022 My hair's quite the opposite of yours, but I suggest you spend a little bit of time on You Tube and search for some cute ways to tie back your hair. I happened upon one cute little up-do method, which works great for me ... and with a little searching, I found a couple more. I am sure that everything we need to learn is on You Tube! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
