Travel must-haves
Afro hair requires a lot of care! Unfortunately, with the regulations governing product quantities, you can't take everything in your small suitcase.
If your 7-step hair care routine isn't easily portable, we've got you covered with tips for traveling light without sacrificing your beauty ritual. Let's discover together the travel essentials of a true naturalista!
Rule number 1: I will travel light.
If you're trying to avoid checked baggage, it's essential to limit your cosmetics, which are often very heavy. Say goodbye to your favorite hair mask and its 450ml jar! For the same weight, you can pack a complete beauty routine . Brands are making fewer and fewer travel-sized products… but you can easily find refillable bottles (plastic or silicone) of 100ml or less and fill them with your essentials.
This way you can continue to pamper your hair, even far from home.
Remember to close the caps of your bottles tightly so you don't have any unpleasant surprises when you open your luggage!
The advantage of this option: you decide the quantity needed for each product in order to adapt it to your needs.
Rule number 2: I will not skimp on sun protection.
Sun protection is essential, even for dark and mixed-race skin . It helps prevent the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots, discoloration, burns, and premature skin aging.
Rule number 3: I will bring my small accessories.
Some brands have thought of everything and have developed pocket-sized hair accessories.
As for brushes, the Denman D3 is a classic and easy to carry. This brush makes detangling considerably easier and will also help you perfectly define your curls.
Rule number 4: I will bet on my essentials.
Amicrofiber towel , a satin nightcap , or even a spray bottle to refresh your hair between dips in the pool. These everyday essentials don't take up much space and meet essential needs, even on vacation: protecting and moisturizing your hair .
So, you've got a suitcase full of essentials! By following these few tips, you can ensure your curly or frizzy hair returns from vacation safe and sound. Hydrating, nourishing, and protecting your hair is essential, especially in summer when there are many external aggressors (wind, sun, salt, chlorine).
One last little tip before we go: quickly adopt the Jasmine Oasis Hair Mist from Flora & Curl . This spray refreshes and hydrates your curls while delicately scenting them. It will quickly become your new beauty ritual to end your sunny summer day.
