Going Somewhere? Travel in Style With These Tips

When wanderlust hits the allure of travel is hard to ignore. Especially during the coldest months of the year, when spring seems way-too-far away, a vacay in the sun may be especially necessary. So if you’ve decided to quench the calling by booking a holiday, you’re probably already packing your bags in anticipation. As anyone that has ever packed a bag for travel knows, suitcases fill up pretty quick. To keep you in style while you’re away, be sure to tuck these packable must-haves in your travel bag.

Prep

Pack

Keep in mind that airlines don’t allow liquids over 100ml in carry-ons, and any carry-on liquids must be stored in a proper bag. Check your airline’s allowance before packing for smooth sailing.

I recommend packing products that pull double, or even triple duty, to cut down on the amount of products you need, while still covering all your style needs. Try a 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner and bodywash like Biosilk 3-in-1 Coconut or American Crew 3-in-1 Tea Tree. I love the size of the Biosilk 3-in-1; the 188ml fits so easily in a suitcase and the scent is like a vacation in a bottle. 

Multi-tasking stylers mashup multiple features to go farther than your average product. Pureology’s Style + Protect collection feature styling with the added benefit of protection from heat and UV rays (an extra bonus if your vacation includes fun in the sun! It's like sunscreen for your hair). And oil treatments can deliver instant hydration to hair and cuticles or rough skin in a pinch. Also great for travel, the new compressed hairsprays from Bed Head pack the same amount of hairspray as their larger cans, but are compressed in a smaller package to save packing space. This one fights frizz in high humidity making it your perfect travel companion!

Multitasking doesn't stop there. Try a hair tool collection that covers all your styling needs. New from Dannyco, Croc travel tools include a mini-sized flat iron, curling iron, hairdryer and thermal brush. These powerful little tools are all dual-voltage and use the same power cord, so you just need to bring one cable instead of four!

Stay blemish-free and hydrated on holidays with the Dermalogica Clear Start kit. Perfectly sized for packing, the kit includes a non-drying cleanser, a bacteria-banishing booster and soothing moisturizer that hydrates and calms sunburned skin.

Lastly, don’t forget to pack a dry shampoo to refresh sweaty tresses and add volume! This dry shampoo from Unite fits in a carry-on!

Scrunchie scarves look so cool and relaxed. Try these fast and easy updos.

So fast. So easy. So chic. This low bun gives major vacay vibes.

Want no-maintenance style that lasts all day? Braids for the win! Not only do they keep your hair up and out of the way, but when you take them out in the evening, you get cool beachy waves.

Just know that while I am slightly envious, I am pumped that you are heading out on a getaway! Have a blast, and we’ll look forward to seeing you when you return.
