no hair straightners allowed!!!!!!!!

well it wouldn't bother me.

I don't think 95% OF women are dependent on hair straighteners.

I don't take straighteners with me on holiday, even a hairdryer.

I agree with Galena. I don't think 95% of women use heat appliances on their hair. I don't. My hair is naturally straight, but I like curls and waves the best. But still, I'm not going to spend the time using these things to get curls or waves. I also don't use blow dryers. Or anything else but a comb. lol. In high school and middle school when I would spend the night at my friends house I found out that none of my friends style their hair either. Whether it was straight or not, they would leave it natural.

I think short hair looks beautiful in waves or curls. This is one of the reasons why my hair isn't short. I don't like short straight hair on me at all! For future reference, to tame frizz just put some oil on it or a leave in conditioner. Shampoo only the scalp and don't be harsh with your hair while washing or combing. Wavies and curlies are not supposed to use brushes because that creates frizz. Instead use a comb, or if you're really curly pick apart the curls with your fingers. You can look online for more curly and wavy hair care if you want, so if one day you are unexpectedly left without a straightener it wont be such a big deal.

But I agree with you that is was sooo wrong for them to not tell people what they can't bring. This way people can't plan ahead. I'm curious if she ever got her straightener back since it was taken away and she left without it?

I think that its crazy that the cruise ship wouldn't let you bring your straightener. I have curly hair and I like to straighten my hair the majority of the time. I don't think that I would want to go on a cruise now because of it. When I'm on vacation I like to look nice to go out at night and I definitely would like to straighten my hair. I know alot of friends of mine would be pretty mad that they couldnt bring there straighteners as well.

I certainly would be upset as well, considering a copy of all cruise rules should be given before you pay your money. My hair is short and thick and even though I don't have to use a straightener, I take a lot of care with it to always look nice.

If you knew ahead of time, you might be able to find something else to use on your hair. I get those big and soft sponge rollers and put them in my hair while I'm doing my makeup. Then when I brush out my hair, it is smooth and not so unruly.

The danger of fire from people forgetting to unplug their appliances might be a terrible danger, however, you would think that they could have little "hair rooms" that would be monitored for safety and you could fix your hair to look good.

I've never been on a cruise, but I would have been upset to be told the rules as I boarded the ship. That's really not fair, considering the amount of money it costs to go on a cruise.
