Travel Hair Care Tips

For your next flight, here is a viewer-requested Travel Hair Care Tips video. I will share travel tips on packing hair accessories and the best hair care products for your next trip. The most important travel tip for hair is to pack your own shampoo; when you are on vacation away from home is not when you want to find out you are allergic to this shampoo. If you know you can shop when you arrive, buy shampoo there.

I always put my hair care products in a zip lock bag. Then I turn it upside down and put that bag in another ziplock bag. This helps to ensure if something gets broken or cracked it wont leak out onto my clothes.

My best hair tip is see your hairdresser within the week prior to your trip. That way it is in the best shape before you go and you can enjoy your trip without stray hairs getting out if control.

Another tip for the curling iron is to use a mitten type pot holder. It just slides in and works. Love your videos as I learn so much. Have a glorious day.

I use both a shampoo bar and a conditioner bar when I travel. I cut the bars in half, because they are larger than I need. They last forever, and do a great job. I have long hair down my back - and I’m pleased with the results of the bars. I wrap each bar in a washcloth, keeps them clean, useful when bars are still a little wet, and, I have a washcloth to use in the countries that don’t provide them.

I own the Revlon travel hair dryer with the folding handle. I had one for several years that finally quit working. I had a difficult time finding one with a folding handle. This one works very well. I mainly bought this one to use on cruises since the dryers on board are very weak. I recommend this one without reservation. I did purchase it on Amazon.

Travel tip. Start your Amazon want list years before the European vacation

Ok. I got one for ya, I turned in to one of those people who needs a fan to sleep and go! I adore you

I've given up traveling with my favorite shampoo since the explosion of the ones I packed a couple of years ago. I actually used the one by Human Gear. Not sure what happened there. But it made a huge mess, though contained, it wasn't pretty because my shampoo was black. Now I just use the hotel provided ones I collected over the years. I have to say, some of them are high quality! I think I will try the soup kind of these days. Even though I am Asian, my hair is thick and curly, like an afro hair if I don't straighten it. So, my straightener is always traveling with me. I did buy a travel-size straightener before but it broke very quickly and it didn't do much good anyways.
Thank you so much for your tips and hacks! I've always enjoyed reading your viewers comments as well. I've learned so much, even as an long-time experienced traveler. We live in such a fast paced society with techs and information change by the minute so these information really helps a lot!❤️. Thank you, as always!

I am so bad, I buy travel sizes of everything and then discard it all so I don't have to pack and bring it home. Thanks for another great video!

I use Ethique solid hair products for travel. I love it!
I don’t use a travel size curling or flat iron, but I do make sure to buy dual voltage ones so they can be used most anywhere in the world with just an adapter. Converters aren’t reliable, and per my electrical engineer husband, they aren’t always safe.

I purchased the Ethique sampler pack from Amazon; it has 3 small shampoo bars and 2 conditioner bars. i have a lot of thick frizzy hair and they worked like magic in the Caribbean, made my hair really soft and curly rather than frizzy.
l loved them so much I purchased 2 full size bars of the ones i liked most.
Now my hubby and I are trying the body bar samplers.

For me, the GoToob that you had recommended were life savers for my hair! My hair gets sticky and heavy when I use whatever hotel shampoo, combined with the sun and salt water. Having my own shampoo and conditioner in those containers makes a huge difference. I also collect the sample sizes that I get from Sephora or other offers for my travels. Perfect for a carry on too! Thanks Laurie!

I like the idea of opening the top of the shampoo, hand cream, baby oil, whatever, placing plastic wrap over the top, & then screwing the lid back on. It worked great the last time I flew in a plane!

[gemsturner]

LOVE the solid shampoo! Doesn't count in liquids and it suds up great and cleans wonderfully. Found mine in the haircare isle at Walmart.

[janiceduerr]

I love shampoo bars. I have tried 2 different brands and they were both good. One was a heart shaped bar and the other was a rectangle and both did a good job of cleaning my hair without making it feel yucky. I always travel with a deep conditioning hair masque - especially Colleen Rothschild brand - my favorite. With every trip I work on condensing my liquids bag to try making my carry on lighter each trip. I go to the Caribbean for 2 weeks every year with just a carry on and personal item.

It's been 4 1/2 years since I've flown anywhere other than my parents' house, so I just got myself a whole batch of full size toiletries, the same ones I use at home, that I leave there - works great regardless of whether I'm flying or driving, and if we go on a road trip from there, I just take those ones, since space isn't as crucial. I still bring with me the things I will need if I'm driving and spending the night somewhere in the middle, or what I would need if I got stuck overnight in a layover city, but that's it (I don't wear makeup and I don't style my hair other than a braid or ponytail, so I don't take as much stuff with me, but the concept still stands: I stick to just the bare bones of what I would/will need). Generally, driving that stretch takes 2 days, so I will shower the night before I leave, so I don't have to do it the overnight en route (almost always take 2 days for the drive, and most of the time it's in the winter, so I don't generally tend to get sweaty, so I don't usually end up needing another shower before I get where I'm going).

If I ever fly again to somewhere other than my parents' house, I'll be taking 1.25 oz bottles of my liquid toiletries that come in big bottles, and I have a travel size toothpaste tube that I emptied and filled with the kind I use (when it's completely full, it lasts me 5-6 weeks).

With stacking things in my liquids bag, I find it entirely depends on the size and shape of the bag and size and shape of the toiletries I'm packing whether stacking horizontally or vertically works better. If there's anything I'm worried might leak, I put it in a brand new snack size ziploc, then put it in the liquids bag.

So an amazing hack for curling hair is with a bath robe belt. There are sooo many videos that give tutorials on how to do it. Most hotels have robes available or you can pack your own and it works so well.

[jenncaputo]

I tell everyone about you! I think you and your tips are fabulous!!

[heatherframpton]

Yes, I really like shampoo bars for more room in that TSA liquids bag. I've used "One" and Beekman 1802 brands. Also, one item I do have to pack is a detangler/leave-in combo conditioner, because my very long hair won't comb out well wet without it. It still saves space, two products in one. 😁❤️Thanks for sharing these tips. Someday I look forward to travelling again safely. That cowboy hat... 🤠

Baby powder is a great cheap dry shampoo, just brush your hair really well. Also fill your travel bottles with product and see how many washes it lasts you can then judge how much you need. x
