Heading abroad can be a fantastic use of your time, enriching your perspective as a person while also serving as great fun. Yet it also takes a fair amount of administration and planning to get right. This can be a little daunting if you haven’t experienced it for a while – for example, anyone that hasn’t taken a plane in ten years is sure to feel a little nervous when the opportunity presents itself once more.
It’s natural for this sense of worry to extend to other management and personal upkeep efforts too. If you’re heading on a long road trip you may worry about finding amenities. If you’re planning to partake in a great deal of hikes, you may wonder if you have the route setting sorted, and time enough to travel all that distance.
In order to help you relax, in this post we’ll discuss how to focus on the little things so the smaller worries can be out of the way. Let’s discuss how the number one question new travelers have can be answered, namely, how to make hair care easier while you travel:
Pack A Hair Solution That Doesn’t Ask Much From You
Packing light means being smart about what helps you in particular when you’re constantly on the move, but sometimes that does mean changing your entire approach to hair care during odd travel experiences, like that aforementioned road trip.
Consider options like lace front wigs that can completely enhance your look without any of the usual styling hassle, as you can pack a couple different styles, switch them up depending on your mood or the event, and never worry about bad hair days ruining your vacation photos. They’re particularly brilliant for beach destinations where salt water and humidity would normally cause a harsher impact on your natural hair, or for the early morning flights where you barely have time to brush your teeth let alone style your hair properly.
Skip The Full Routine, Just Do What Matters Most
Your twenty-step morning routine might work perfectly at home, but trying to recreate it in a tiny hotel bathroom with questionable water pressure is just setting yourself up for frustration. We’d suggest you strip things back to the absolute essentials and focus on what actually makes you feel put-together rather than what you think you should be doing.
Many find that dry shampoo becomes their best friend, or you could accept the messy bun for most of your trip and only worry about perfect hair for special dinners or important occasions. If you’re spending more time exploring and less time fighting with a curling iron that doesn’t work with the local voltage, then good enough is more than good enough.Most people look back on their travel photos and remember the experiences rather than whether their hair had the perfect amount of volume that particular day.
Keep Something On Hand For Wind, Rain Or Heat
Weather doesn’t really care for your hair plans, so being prepared for the elements can save you from spending your entire vacation looking like you’ve been through a tornado. A good leave-in conditioner can protect against both sun damage and humidity for instance, but a compact umbrella or hat is good if going somewhere with downpours and blazing sunshine together, like with how monsoon season can go in some countries. Even a scarf during a boat ride can help you avoid an unwanted huge blow dry from the wind.
With this advice, we hope you can more easily make hair care easier while you travel. Have fun!
