You are on a deserted island and you may only bring 3 haircare items

[Laurel32]

You are on a deserted island and you may only bring 3 haircare items.

What are they? :p

[Heidi_234]

Oh my god! That's a great one!
Coconut oil for sure, my #1 of course. :D:D
Wide satin scarf to protect my hair from the sun and to rest my head on when I'll be sleeping.
And a conditioner, I suppose. :shrug: Or soapnuts! Probably soapnuts... very multifunctional. :D

[pilateschick7]

Ficcare Maximas
Jojoba oil
Komaza Curl Pudding or Flax Seed Hair Gel
(depending on the humidity of the island)
I guess you could just use some kind of twine or something to tie back braids.
This is so fun!

[pilateschick7]

I need a LHC tutor! I did not even think of a scarf for the sun. Rats:cheese:

[LovingLife]

Olive oil, A huge VAT of cholesterol and a silk scarf to double as a pillow and protectant.

[Elphie]

Does this deserted island HAVE coconuts? 'Cuz it matters! ;-)

[aahavaa]

Coconut oil, shampoo and a few kilos of my favourite henna :)

[Laurel32]

Great choices everyone!:eyebrows:

[Laurel32]

Does this deserted island HAVE coconuts? 'Cuz it matters! ;-)

Hmm... yes. :p

[Kimberly]

Good call on the scarf!

Hmm . . . I'd probably bring a wood comb, a scarf, and a Starlite fork.

[hippie girl]

A resin comb, another resin comb (in case I lost the first one) and.... another resin comb, in case I lost the second. I'm assuming I may be there a long time.

If i didn't have a stick already in (which would be a .0004 percent chance) I'd make my own hairstick once on the island. I'm crafty. Having extra combs would be far more important. I hate the feeling of wind blown tangles. I'm also assuming the island is going to be windy.

[hippie girl]

I keep track of combs pretty well, as in years and years on end. I figure that by the time I have lost all three, I will have had enough time to fashion a fourth one out of available island hardwood and whatever other tools I have also made!

[joyellen]

I'd take a bone comb, a hair fork and my hair scissors because I need my fringe. :)

[peachrose]

Jojoba Oil
My new Nautilus fork (can double as a comb)
Sharp scissors for S&D

[embee]

a huge sunhat
widetooth comb
hairstick

[lora410]

BBB, hat, and and hairtoy (since it has cocnuts no need for oils)

[rags]

A silk scarf, a comb, and a hairfork. I can contrive some sort of hairstick from what's on the island. And coconut milk for conditioning is right there!

[princess]

Coconut oil, conditioner and a comb.

[LHGypsyRose]

Oooo I like this one!! Woo Hoo! Time for a much needed vacation! lol Ok I have to ask..the thread says "You are stranded on a dessert island", does that mean we are alone:(..or are we all stranded on the same island??LOL Oh that would be so much easier since we could all do a bit of bartering:D

[Speckla]

Aloe plant so I can plant it and always have aloe, chocolate, and some wine. Who cares what my hair looks like as long as it's moisturized and the wine and chocolate make it more bareable.

[Shorty89]

Hmm... yes. :p
In that case....my wood comb, and a spritzer bottle and a hairstick. If not substitute the spray bottle for coconut oil.

[Elphie]

I've got more questions before deciding on my three. How did I arrive on this island? Was it by boat?

[Alia]

Body Shop comb, coconut oil, and conditioner...though some Dairy Whip would be nice.8)

[enfys]

Hmmmm. Well if it's a desert island

* a large silk scarf - covers my hair, hold it back, blah blah
* tangle teezer - floats if I drop it!
* water filter - incase there are nasties in the water I can filter it and start doing WO.

I had to struggle to think of three things.

Of course if it's some freezing, windy Scottish island that's another matter...

[AJoifulNoise]

Well, since there are coconuts...

My horn comb, a huge bottle of conditioner, and a some leather cord to tie back my hair.

I'd also like a hammer (to open the coconuts) and a knife (to make hair sticks). Those aren't haircare items, so I'm imagining I can have them, too!

[marajade]

Horn comb, conditioner, and something to tie my hair with, a scrunchie perhaps? I guess if I am on a desert island I can suck it up and stop shampooing. . .

[Teazel]

"You are stranded on a dessert island

What a great typo. Stranded on a dessert island - now there's an idea! *floats off in a daydream of a lemon meringue island in a custard sea* :lol:


Aloe plant so I can plant it and always have aloe, chocolate, and some wine. Who cares what my hair looks like as long as it's moisturized and the wine and chocolate make it more bareable.

If wine and chocolate can be counted as haircare items, I'm in! (Has anyone tried them? :hmm:) :wink:

Seriously, it's actually hard to come up with three things. If there are coconuts on the island, it would be the perfect time to see if soaking in coconut milk is a Good Thing for me. Hairsticks, I can make. Shampoo... if I'm on my own, who's to care if my hair looks greasy? Perfect opportunity to try WO. Sooo....


Bone comb
Sharp scissors
Conditioner, just in case the coconut experiment doesn't work out.

[Nevermore]

Silk scarf, comb (plastic) and my bamboo hair stick or knitting needle. I think my craftiness would be needed for things like making tools and I'd definitely need my hair up for that.

[GlassEyes]

A razor.

Honestly, if I'm going to be stranded on a desert island, the LAST thing I'd need is my hair getting in the way as I try to get the heck off of it. If it became a bother, I'd shave it off completely.


And now that I'm done being a killjoy... xD;

1. Suave Aloe Vera and Waterlily Conditioner (In a nonexistant industrial size they need to eventually make)

2. L.A. Looks Gel

3. Coconut/Olive Oil. Either way.


Also, on thinking about it, I may just forgo this and just use coconut milk if the island has them...but otherwise, razor. xD;

[Carolyn]

I'm going to assume that we have other things other than just hair care items with us. I'll already be wearing my Ficcare so does that count? :p I can make hair ties out of braided grass and I could make a hair stick if I had a knife to whittle with. I'd take EVOO. That would be a multi purpose beauty product and I could also fry fish with it. I'm a good finger comber so I could skip the comb but I'd take my MP BBB. I'd also take a nice moisturizing conditioner for CO. I think I could make do with that and EVOO.

[JamieLeigh]

FRESH (non-salt) water, -coney conditioner (because the extreme heat and sunlight exposure would fry my hair to death without -cone protection!!) and a scarf or hat to protect my hair. :)

[hippie girl]

Are we on the lost island? If so, I don't think we are lacking hair care products.

Or, white jeans.

[Teazel]

A razor.

Honestly, if I'm going to be stranded on a desert island, the LAST thing I'd need is my hair getting in the way as I try to get the heck off of it. If it became a bother, I'd shave it off completely.

Hey, it didn't stop the guys on Lost! :D


I can make hair ties out of braided grass and I could make a hair stick if I had a knife to whittle with.

Yes, and you could use sand to smooth the hairstick down. :agree: I wanna try it now, and see what sort of stick I could manage to make with just a knife and sand. :lol:

[hippie girl]

Hey, it didn't stop the guys on Lost! :D





Right! They even got back home maintaining length. Go figure!

[Elphie]

I've already figured out how to desalinate water and there are coconuts, so I'm still pondering what I might need.

If this is Lost Island, I want to look good for Sayid!

[hippie girl]

If this is Lost Island, I want to look good for Sayid!
HA! Nice! I do understand this!
He does have great hair. Perhaps you could get him to share his routine.... I'm guessing it has something to do with that stream water, Dharma Shampoo and coconuts.

[LHGypsyRose]

What a great typo. Stranded on a dessert island - now there's an idea! *floats off in a daydream of a lemon meringue island in a custard sea* :lol:




LOL...oops, I get in too much of a hurry sometimes:o However I do like the idea..such a yummy thought. :yumm:

[charlotte meve]

A uva/uvb sunscreen for my hair , vitamins and lots of water...

[Kimberly]

Oooo I like this one!! Woo Hoo! Time for a much needed vacation! lol Ok I have to ask..the thread says "You are stranded on a dessert island", does that mean we are alone:(..or are we all stranded on the same island??LOL Oh that would be so much easier since we could all do a bit of bartering:D

Stranded on the same island . . . like a secret LHC paradise? Sounds like a resort, eating coconuts and swapping hair toys and hairstyle tips all day long on a beach.

[gmdiaz]

I would very much like to be stranded on THAT desert island, just now! LOL

I'd like a hammock with a silk covered mini pillow, a wide brimmed hat and a machete.

I am NOT sleeping on the ground and I am NOT going to crisp up the skin on my face or my hair.

With the machette, I could make my fave coconut products and make some hairsticks with little shells and bits of glass.

[hippie girl]

Stranded on the same island . . . like a secret LHC paradise? Sounds like a resort, eating coconuts and swapping hair toys and hairstyle tips all day long on a beach.

Can Sayid come? He has nice hair, too....

See...that picture even says so!
"Thou Shalt Not Maintain Luscious Locks of Glory Whilst The Island Masses Continue to Look Raggedy and Unkempt."

[Islandgrrl]

A couple kilos of henna
My favorite buff
Camellia oil

[jahof45]

3 hair care items, hmmm...

1. vegan food resturant. (good hair starts with good nutrition)
2. hair salon/spa. (long hair experts only)
3. a hat to protect my hair from the sun. ;-)

LOL

[ancilla]

Jojoba Oil (or Olive, though I can't decide. I use them both for things other than hair as well)
infinite supply of chagrin valley Olive Babassu shampoo, OR Cocoapink Squeaky shampoo
infinite supply of cone free Suave conditioners in my favorite scents.

I was originally going to put Hairstick and Hairbrush for 2 and 3 but I figured, I can just comb my hair out with my fingers, and I can carve my own hairsticks from the trees :)

[marialena]

1. My soap
2. My plastic comp
.... mmm nothing else.. that's it

[Elphie]

I've finally decided. I'm bringing Sayid. He's going to care for my....hair. Honest!

[Ursula]

Laptop computer, power source, internet access of some sort. So I could get to LHC, and call for help, and the mod squad would come to the rescue and arrange to get me off the deserted island!

[wintersun99]

I'm very low maintenance. I would only want:

Coconut Oil
Satin Hair Band (or a Buff)
Wooden Comb
*hair tie*

And if we are talking characters from Lost, I want Kate's hair! :D

[ZaBasDa]

1. The biggest bottle of shampoo ever, preferably one that is extra concentrated so it would last a long time.
2. The biggest bottle of conditioner ever, kind of like the above just hopefully without cones.
3. Probably thousands of elastic hair ties, or similar.

But the laptop computer with internet and a power source would be lovely. Or sever kilos of henna. So I probably don't really want the hair ties as my third item.

[Magicknthenight]

Lets see...i think id take some vo5 since that could be used to CO and condition.
But i rather take some AO shampoo/condish
coconut oil
and...a really pretty hairtoy that cant break or a comb.
hopefully their would be fresh water..
oh and flowers to decorate my hair with :)

[nowxisxforever]

My wooden wide-toothed seamless comb from The Body Shop, a quality metal hair fork (like I have already) and ... oh ... I don't know. That's really all I *need*. Maybe a bandana so that my scalp doesn't get sunburned.

[Debra83]

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=15301

You were nicer than I was, I made them choose only 1 item!!!! ;)

Hmmmmm....I would choose Henna, catnip, and a wide tooth comb!

[Noctifer]

First of i would need a big bottle of sunscreen otherwise Im fried whit in 30 minutes, sun sensitve skin and a deserted island whit coconuts seems to be a bad mix for me.

Silkscarf and lots of conditoner and maybe a combe is propably the hair care items i would bring

[LovingLife]

Hmmm... does it have an olive grove?

[lailmil]

monoi, silk scarf and woodcomb

[Ndnlady]

Nice!:) I would bring by wide-toothed bakelite comb, my wooden bristle brush, and a scrunchie. I figure I can carve my own hairtoys and find something resourceful on the island to wash and moisturize my hair with!:D

[Elbereth]

* ACV. I think I could start experimenting with making lye from ashes of my campfire and using some fat available to cook my own soap. ACV would be harder to make.

*my wide tooth celluloid comb, since it can be used to comb both dry and damp hair

*A bandana or, if it was a really deserted island, my hideous-looking but otherwise wonderful sunbonnet. I could cut a piece of my clothes to tie my hair with and carve a pair of hairsticks from twigs.

[Anje]

Let's see.... How about conditioner, a comb, and a scarf (as much to keep my scalp from sunburning as anything).

I'm also hoping I have a knife that can be used to make a hairstick and because I'd rather have a knife than just about anything else in a deserted place. There's a reason I keep my Leatherman close at hand....

[Morag]

Horn comb, camellia oil, and a large silk scarf. (I'll go WO.)

[JessicaVonMaim]

Hair ties, conditioner...

and scissors in case my hair starts to drive me nuts :D

[BlackfootHair]

Shampoo, Conditioner, and a big bucket to catch rainwater. (with lid)

[Phalaenopsis]

A plastic comb instead of my wooden comb, because plastic outlives wood :p

Definitely a scarf to cover up my head, I don't want to get sick from too much sun.

A scrunchie

[Amoretti]

1-Wide tooth comb.
2-Dove conditioner in the blue bottle
3-Hairstick.

Nothing different from what I do every day. LOL.

[may1em]

Scarf, AO honeysuckle rose conditioner, some sort of biodegradable, gentle shampoo.

[Anlbe]

Hat, refined coconut oil and wide tooth comb.

[yogachic]

Shampoo, Conditioner and a wide tooth comb

[3azza]

scarf
olive oil
henna (if i'm going to stay for too long)

[Nightshade]

- henna (natural UV protection FTW!)
- 4-prong bamboo fork which will double as a comb
- scarf/ hat

I'd also trade henna for conditioner or oils :lol:

[Calista]

Shampoo bar
Horn comb
Ficcare maximas

[templeofvenus]

A comb
Simple shampoo
Kerastase conditioner

I wish I could have 4 things though as I would also like to take a wide cloth hairband lol

[Rosepatrice]

Sunscreen because I can use if for my hair, scalp AND body.
A sun protective huge umbrella (Extra Extra large size) to protect my hair and body for sun protection.
Water to wash my hair and to drink.

[Johanna64]

-coconutoil
-a big hat
-something to tie my hair with.

[Kimberly]

Can Sayid come? He has nice hair, too....

I'm pretty sure Sayid is invited. ;)

[nueinsel]

a comb, a clip (probably my extra-large flexi-8), coconut oil

[janeytilllie]

I would take :

* Coconut oil. My hair can't live without it
* My little hair scissors, so I can snip my splits while I sunbathe :p
* My shampoo bar :D

[LittleOrca]

Comb, sleeping cap, conditioner.

[deko]

Henna, a huge amount of my favourite multi-purpose conditioner and a big silk scarf for protection.

[mugglemomof3]

A huge bottle of RO water, coconut oil, and my wide-tooth shower comb.

[VLoving]

I would take :

* Coconut oil. My hair can't live without it
* My little hair scissors, so I can snip my splits while I sunbathe :p
* My shampoo bar :D

You took the words right out of my mouth!! ;)...but if there are coconuts I'd rather bring my Ficcare Maxima (Blue Jeans)

[mugglemomof3]

I answered first and now have read the thread. I'm too lazy to break open those darn coconuts. They are HARD!!!! So I'm keeping my tub of coconut oil, but I might exchange the RO water for a big hat. I'm so used to having nothing but hard, gross water come out of the ground, I didn't think of a nice, clear stream or river on the island!

[Copasetic]

This is so hard but I would take aloe vera gel, a hair clip, and a shampoo bar.

[Centeredgirl1]

My homemade weekly hair rinse (newly developed) ingredients: vinegar, honey, distilled water.
Coconut Oil
Bit of LanolinHopefully, I would have a coconut tree to sit and sleep under to protect my hair.

[Arctic_Mama]

If the island has coconuts, I'd bring my Bakelite detangler, my Dessert Essence Italian Grape conditioner, and my ficcare.

[Eboshi]

1. Scissors to S&D with. On a deserted island there is even a chance that I may be able to make a dent in the amount I have.
2. A comb
3. A magic tub, that never runs out, of Biolage conditioning balmm

[Aries_jb]

The funny thing is that the product I would bring is not even stuff I use on a regular basis. I would bring stuff I could multi-task with:

Suave Coconut Conditioner to co-wash and condition with, and also use as a leave-in.
A seamless comb
A hair fork

[s_tresses]

A mirror? if there isnt one already

castor oil

a never ending supply of an indian herb

crappp, only if I could bring my scissors too

[Milui Elenath]

"You are stranded on a dessert island", does that mean we are alone:(..or are we all stranded on the same island??LOL Oh that would be so much easier since we could all do a bit of bartering:D


LOL, My DH said that in no time the island would be deforested of coconuts if that were the case.:laugh:

I have to say like most
1. wide tooth comb
2. scissors - but I'd probably end up using them for something other than hair, the temptation would be too great.
3. a hat

[Seraphina]

My new lavender and avocado conditioner
Denman brush
Hairstick

[marzipanthecat]

A decent hairbrush (my favourite Denman one, ideally).

Some nice thick hairbands.

Shampoo.


(I am easy to please.)

[Finoriel]

A chicken, a beehive and yeast :wink: I guess Málaga-yeast would be nice.
:p I assume there are plenty of coconut trees on the island, so I could press my own coconut-oil and would also use the yeast to make coconut vine :cool: ahem I mean coconut vinegar for my shampoo of course. Eggs, honey and something acidic is all I need to wash my hair > so hair happiness for me guaranteed, I guess.
:D Now where is my island?

[Eireann]

shampoo, coconut oil and a wide tooth comb

[Tap Dancer]

My Conair Shower Comb, a scrunchie, and a good pair of scissors for split ends. :)

I'd hate to take conditioner because it wouldn't last very long...

[Elanor]

A giant bottle of cone free conditioner, a scrunchie and virgin coconut oil.

[Darkhorse1]

shampoo, hair elastic and a vented hat. I'm sure on an island, there'd be plenty of coconuts! :)

[kirky]

Wow, tough to narrow it down to three!

1) Scrunchie
2) Hair scissors
3) Jojoba

[Drynwhyl]

Nothing! I'd use it as an excuse to let my hair go all natural and matted in dreadlocks, and wash it with sea water. No conditioner, obviously ;)

[Anje]

Do we get to be on the island together? This sounds like a wonderful (and hair-friendly) place! Especially since Ursula's going to have us connected to the internet.

[myotislucifugus]

broadbrimmed had, wooden comb, jojoba oil

[hippiechick1976]

hmmm tough. I think a hair tie, hair tie in case first breaks and patchouli oil to mask any smell from going water only and to use as deod.

[Eden Iris]

Comb, elastics, some kind of scarf. I think I would braid it every day and give up on washing altogether. Unless there are hot pirates....are there hot pirates?

[goodluckcharm]

If there are hot pirates then I'm coming!! I will also plan on making said hot pirate wash my hair in the ocean for me (thinking along the lines of Out Of Africa....)

Nice daydream, haha. Hmm, I'm going to need a large brim straw hat like the one I garden in, elastics to tie my hair back with, and has much conditioner as will fit on the raft that got me to the island.

[Drynwhyl]

Please let there be hot pirates. *praying*

[Fencai]

coconut oil
a scarf
soapnuts

Im not sure if i would bring a silk scarf though, silk eventually breaks itself down...

[Speedbump]

Oh, this is SO easy. :lol:

1) My seamless bohn comb.
2) A ficcare.
3) A vat of Nexxus Color Ensure conditioner. :cheese:

[laybackspin1993]

1. wide toothed comb
2. REHAB shampoo
3. aussie long hair conditioner :)

[Guinevere]

1. Elastic bands
2. Towel (Could serve as a hat too!)
3. Conditioner (To prevent my hair from drying)
