sort of F&B related: travel hair

how do you wear your hair on planes?  And specifically, a looooong plane ride.  If I'm just going to CA or whatever I get dressed like I normally would for the day, but I'll be traveling for 20+ hours to the UAE on Thursday.  My hair is somewhat long right now so I need to do something with it.  I feel like I try different things and still haven't found the perfect solution - hoping there is some amazing idea I haven't thought of.

Re: sort of F&B related: travel hair

  • UAE?  That's exciting.  Is it for work?

    I just do a messy ponytail/bun on top of my head.  I hate it down and it gets in my face and drives me crazy.  And a ponytail hits behind your head.  So, that's what I do.

  • i think we might be getting too old gor this, but when my hair is long enough, pig-tail-braids. that way there's nothing behind your head for comfort of sleeping, and the braids keep the hair from being matted.

  • On my 22+ hour ride to Africa I started with my hair down, then at some point pulled the front back and by the end of the trip it was pulled back in a messy ponytail. 

    Guess you got your passport stuff all figured out! Have fun.

    IMO you were too old for this once you entered jr. high... 

    I do a low, loose braid:

    there is an international conference there that invited 3 grad students to go, so I was like "what the heck!? sounds like fun!"

    I do messy bun things now and then, but I feel like it isn't high enough to not hit the head-rest.  also, I'm short, so the head rest hits me weird anyway, lol

    yeah, the travel agent said I could just use my maiden name, which I decided to do because I've just been so busy and it's one less thing to worry about.  I think I'll make sure to change it when I get back though so I can have it over with.

    as far as the hair, your story is sort of how I think I've done it too.  If I straighten my hair, it's much more manageable and then I can change it depending on what I want at the moment.  But it's not really ideal I guess.

    HAHA *burn*

    the low loose braid is a good option

    LOL! I didn't mean it like that. It's totally a personal thing, but no matter what, pigtails post puberty remind me of some Lolita fetish.

    I agree with this.  Ponytails are uncomfortable, but I want it out of my face! this is a great solution

    lol well, I have to say it's a pretty good idea for plane rides, although I agree it isn't stylish.  I think for this trip I'll nix it because I'm going to wear my suit (and bring sweatpants to change into on the plane) to save room in my bag - also, my sister got upgraded one time and she swears it was the suit :D

    i really like this. or a braid to the side that comes over your shoulder.. but not 2 braids.

  • When my hair was long i would usually either braid it, or do a very low messy bun with a headband or headband-tied scarf.  With it short i straighten or curl it and pin it back.

    Good luck on the plane and have fun!!
