backpacking on a fringe

littlesurfer

okay this is usually not my biggest worry but here goes. I'm going travelling in september for a year and usually i just leave anything beauty related at home bar a bit of mascara. But i took it into my head a month or two ago to get a fringe and it goes absolutely nuts after i wash it so i've been straightening it every day after i shower and leave the rest of it to do what it pleases.

Problem is,...i really don't want to lug a straightners with me,...at least not a normal size one and i cant find a good mini one. Anyone have any good fringe suggestions?? or at least where i can get a mini hair straightners?

Marks & Spencers sell mini hair-straighteners...they're SERIOUSLY dinky. Another option is (and I know this sounds crazy) putting it in a roller. They take up hardly any space. I put my fringe in a roller, and it works fine. I don't know if it'll work for you, though...it depends on your hair.

I'm usually very low maintenance myself with my hair, but I also took the notion to get a fringe... My saviour is hair bands when I dont have my straightners, you can get plain skinny ones in pennys for €1.50 for 3 (red, black and white), i've bought loads and they are v.handy for my fringe

missouthside, your a little ledgend. Just back from m&s with my teeny teeny teeny hairstraighteners....and its the biz. Well actually i wouldn't reccomend it to a serious hair junkie but for me it'll be perfect...i'l trust it on my fringe and it will take no space in my backpack!!!!

Thanks

Must check out the M&S one! I also saw them in the great outdoors so you mustn't be the only one wanting to bring one with you!!!
