I am also *blessed* with curly hair that unfortunately turns to a frizzball the instant I step foot in Mexico.....I wear a straw cowboy hat or a baseball hat most days and put conditioner in it to weigh it down. Do-rags look silly on me so I never wear them.

They look silly on me too. I was blessed with baby fine hair and need a lot of "product" ( I love that word) to make it look worth a crap. I slap on a do-rag mostly to protect my poor scalp that always gets FRIED!

It's very rare to find a pic of me in Mexico without a bandana on my mop! Short or long my hair is enormoussssss - hats fear my hair

I've got bandanas in every which color (if I need shade I throw a visor over them), a pile of scarves and these great headbands that you can pick up at pretty much any vendor on 5th (definitely at the market at the corner of 5th and Constituyentes) - the only way to describe them is that they look like a headband but telescope back over your hair and covers pretty much the whole head. they come in nice colors too.

I think I know exactly the headbands that you mean. I bought one in PDC last time that had an stretchy part at the back to go under your hair at the back. The bandana covers your whole head. The colours and designs you can get are so pretty!

I am dreading what my hair is going to look like when I go in August since it is naturally wavy but I flat iron it now everyday. I guess I will have to find a style to go with the waves because it will not be straight!

The straw ones are better for ventilation. Try Wal-mart...they got the chin straps so the wind doesn't blow them off and if ya do lose it...you only lost 8 bucks.

OMG..I have a peanut head too!!!! I thought i was the only one!! The locals laugh when I buy my hats and they've now come to know me as seniorita peanut-head! Ya..funny! NOT. Anyway...there ARE hats in Playa that are smaller....ya just gotta hunt for them. My avatar is my new hat I got at peepfest. It fits good and best thing is...too small for my daughter to wear it! yippee!

Well.... NH is very country. Most of it is. Not where I live LOL. They still call Salem a town but it will someday be changed. I actually grew up on a farm but someone who doesn't know me would never guess. I'm liking the hat idea

Love the products and I do bring MANY to Playa to try and tame those curls.

I usually wear two braids and put a LOT of sunscreen on the parting (hmmmm, not sure it's a correct word) cause I don't like hats and scarfs!

I think it's cute and kind of girlie and sth I deffinitely couldn't wear to work !

Yup...instantly I look like Monica on that Friends episode where they went to the Bahamas. Not pretty.
Normally I straighten it here at home but on vacation I leave the straightening iron and the hairdryer at home and just bring a tub each of leave-in conditioner and silicone.
