First Aid for "Hair Emergencies"

[PatTodd]

I'm at work and my second day curls were looking crazy, so I just made an emergency styling cream out of what I could scavenge at my desk - hair gel and Vaseline Creamy

Have you ever had to do an emergency restyle at work?

What do you suggest for a work "hair emergency" kit??

This is my kit
~At least 2 goodie ouchless hair bands (to do an emergency puff/bun/ponytail style)
~a head band
~a large hair clip
~a spare brush/comb
~gel and oil (usually put them in an old medicine bottle)
~and a mirror at my desk

those should help with any diasters that may happen at work!

lol I thought I was the only one who did this!

I keep an emergency bun kit: smoothing brush, 2 headbands, an elastic, and about 5-6 bobby pins, along with some cheapie conditioner to help smooth and coat my ends (currently white rain). I've had to break into this kit on many occasions

Hmm...I have serum (didn't want to use cones today), gel, bobby pins, small claw clips, a mirror, and a couple of brushes here at work. I never thought of it as an emergency kit until I realized I didn't have the one thing I needed - some cheapie conditioner! Thus the resort to the creamy Vaseline/gel combo!

ETA: I'm still cringing that I actually resorted to putting Vaseline in my hair! I have now added a bottle of conditioner and a small container of avocado butter to my kit. But I think what helped the most is that I simply smoothed some water into my hair and my curls freshened up.
