To pack my hair straightener...or not to pack...

Hi all, we've started packing for our week long HM to Ocho Rios Jamaica, and I'm wondering if I should pack my hair straightener, or just go curly for the week.  For the record, I hate wearing my hair curly.  We leave Jan 4, and return Jan 12.  Thanks!!

P.S We've started packing already because we much earlier for upstate NY and need to have all the HM ready to go.

Re: To pack my hair straightener...or not to pack...

  • If you hate your hair curly, why not pack the straightener? It's not like it takes up a lot of space.

  • well with packing the straightener comes the products to wear my hair straight.  whereas with wearing curly, need different products and the diffuser attachment to my dryer, plus a special hair towel.  Takes up too much room to bring both, and if it is super humid, I need to wear it curly otherwise straight looks like poop.  My hair is past my bra strap so it's kind of an important thing to me.

  • If you do not like wearing it curly I would bring my straightener. You will probably regret not bringing it.  Have fun

  • I say just bring both, if you dislike it curly that much and it's important to you to be comfortable.  You won't enjoy your honeymoon if you're constantly fretting about how your hair looks.  I assume that you're either checking your hair products or just bringing tiny travel sizes (since you can't carry on regular sizes...I assume you know that).  If you're checking, just check an extra-large suitcase.  If you're carrying on, just have your then-husband carry on some of your mini sizes.

  • How's the humidity in jamaica?  I'm sure curly would be bad for humidity. 
  • Pack it. I'm always miserable if my curly hair doesn't come out just perfect, but I can generally make straight hair look good, even in humidity. You want to feel gorgeous on your honeymoon!
  • I agree.. pack it! If you like your hair better straight, then you'll want to look back at pictures from the HM of your hair how you liked it best. Sounds vain, but it's true! Don't worry about it every day, but if you're going to go to a nice dinner then straighten it. HTH!
  • Thanks ladies - guess I will be taking that third bag! lol.

  • I have frizzy, wavyish curly hair if I don't dry or straighten it.  We went to Riviera Maya Mexico.  It was very hot and humid.  One evening I straightened my hair like normal.  We ate at an outdoor restaurant-it was not straight after being outside for about 10 minutes!  So for me the straightener was not needed. 
    It was pulled back during the day and at night I just wore it wavy or used a curling iron to make it look as decent as possible.
