A couple posts back I mentioned how my flat iron burned my hair. Well, the next day the iron had the opposite affect. It burned up the outlet converter. So, needless to say, I didn't use it anymore and I didn't try it with my other irons. The only items I have to use to do my hair are hairspray and a blow dryer (thank goodness the hotel provided one of those). I have been on a hopeless hunt for a flat iron and/or curling iron. I could not find either until this past Saturday!!! All the stores have here are blow dryers! We finally found this little salon that sold curling and flat irons when we were walking around Causeway Bay. The only problem is they wanted HK$400+, which is approximately US$50+. I just can't justify spending that much when I will only use the iron for two months. Plus the humidity here curls straight hair anyway, so why even bother with a straightener!
I really need some help from all you girls out there! This is how I have coped the last three and a half weeks:
1. Lots of ponytails and piggytails
2. Curly hair
3. Round brush 
The round brush is the only thing I've been able to use to even come close to my old hair-do, but alas I never mastered that skill and it takes forever! Not only that, after a few hours outside in the humidity my hair looks like this:I will be the first to admit I have never been very good at styling hair, but this is a whole new trial for me.
I need help!!! I need a haircut really bad (which finding a good quality, english speaking salon is a whole separate problem) and I'm thinking about getting my hair straightened to help fight the frizzy curls the humidity gives me. If you have ever had your hair straightened or have performed it on someone (you hair stylists out there), let me know your feelings on it. And all you lovely ladies, please let me know if you have any suggestions of how to cope with this problem or ideas of new hairsyles!!!

I honestly say forget the round brush and straightening it - it takes too long and then it sounds like it annoys you once it gets curly. I LOVE the pig tails and you look great with curly hair. I say just enjoy what the weather does to your hair these next few months, I mean you still look fabulous!!! You could also probably find some cool scarves to wear in your hair! But keep in mind - this is all coming from a very low maintenance hair doer that will wear a bandana any chance she gets...
I agree that the curly version is very cute! :) And you can't go wrong with a hairstyle that takes less than a minute to do when you have a baby!
I love your hair curly!! You are so lucky that you look cute in so many styles! How frustrating though, to not be able to do your hair the way you want to, when you want to! Will it be better when you guys get to where you will be settling? Good Luck!!
I think you are handling your situation great! You look as beautiful as you always do! I have all those hair 'conveniences' and I'm lucky to have time to make myself cute once a week. How do you manage?
Your hair looks great in ponies and curly! I'd say stick wih those options. Even living in Iowa with the high humidity, straightening is a pain and doesn't last long. Learn to love curly. :) -Allesha
Absolutely do not straighten your hair! Those chemical will fry your hair. I really like the curly 'do-it's really cute. My favorite, though, is when your hair gets a little wavy after you've blown it straight. That look (the wavy bob)is so popular right now! You're so trendy and not even trying!
Go curly! It will be so nice for you to shower, throw some gel in and go! It's cute on you, you look like Kristen a little.
Oh my goodness it's so good to hear from you and Congratulations! You have the most beautiful baby girl! Please email me about how you're doing and why you're in Hong Kong exactly. I need to be filled in!
Well...I have to agree with everyone else. Go with the girls and ponytails, because you pull it off VERY well. Seriously, you look adorable!!!!
Lets talk about how you should always do your hair curly with or without pigtails--it is sooo cute. Forget straightening!!!!!
Glad you're doing well. We really miss you guys
