HELP!! Going on a cruise. Need hairstyle suggestions.

[YoursTrulyRE]

I'm going on a cruise soon and need some ideas on how to wear my hair. It is a 4 day cruise to the caribbean and we will be doing a lot of swimming and water excursions, so I will need to be able to go from the pool to dinner in a moments notice.

I would like something versatile that I can either wear down at dinner or put up in a ponytail while swimming.

I was thinking a sew-in or tree braids but not sure how it will last with the water?

Would you recommend synthetic hair or human hair?

I say either a weave that's a wavy or curly style so you don't have to do much but wash and dry it. If you want to do braids that's the eaisest option a long with 2 strand twist. I say if your doing a weave or single braids human hair is the way to go for twist i think synthetic is okay. Oh and take your own blow dryer cause sometimes the one the boat sucks and enjoy your cruise.

Thanks! I'm going to Dominican Republic in August and I was thinking about getting Senegalese Twists. Thought that would also double as a good PS for a couple of months.

On my last cruise I notice a lot of braided styles, cornrows, etc. I was only 2 months post relaxer into my transition and opted to wear a phonypony for most of the trip.

Get a weave, a half wig, or get regular braids and or twist. You can have versitility with all.

Have fun on your cruise.

I was thinking of staying away from individual braids due to the weight of the hair when wet.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Keep them coming ladies!!

Oh and if you have any pics that would be helpful as well.

I went on a cruise to the Bahamas back in 2010. I wore my hair in a high bun the whole time...

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

Poohbear...Cute!!

I know my hair is way to thick to put in a bun like that. It would take a whole jar of gel to hold it down. lol

bumping for more suggestions

Take a wig. I did and I called it my cruise hair.

Went Chin length for the dinner. (pic 1, notice the sunburn, LOL);from the pool with my SL length hair(pic 2 for example)

Have fun with it.

I'm going on a cruise in May myself. My plan is to wear my protective styles during the day: buns, french braids, updos and to wear my hair loose or in a fancier updo at night.

For swimming, I'll saturate my hair with water first so it won't be able to absorb much of the chlorinated water then do a wash and go from the pool into evening.
