Let me share a little salon secret with you... The key to having GREAT hair on vacation isn't what you do DURING the trip—it's what you do BEFORE you leave. I've been doing hair since 1997, and trust me when I say: proper prep makes ALL the difference between struggling with your hair in a tiny hotel bathroom and feeling fabulous from day 1 to day 7. Here's my pre-travel hair game plan: 2 WEEKS BEFORE: Get a trim! Split ends will only get worse with sun, salt, and chlorine. Even just a dusting makes your hair more manageable. 1 WEEK BEFORE: Deep conditioning treatment at home. Coat your hair in a quality mask, throw it in a bun, and let it soak in while you finish packing. Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle. 3 DAYS BEFORE: If you color your hair, this is your window. Fresh color = more vibrant photos. But give it a few days to settle before travel. DAY BEFORE: Wash and style your hair the way you want it for travel day. Pack that dry shampoo because this style can last 2-3 days if you prep it right! TRAVEL DAY: Braid or bun for the plane/car. Protects your hair from damage and you'll arrive with texture already built in for easy styling. BONUS TIP: Bring a silk scrunchie and sleep with your hair loosely tied up. Regular hair ties create creases and breakage. We're not about that life! Your hair goes through A LOT on vacation—sun, humidity, pool chemicals, ocean salt, different water... giving it a strong foundation before you leave means it can handle all that AND still look gorgeous.

The Hair Tie Hack That Changed My Life Okay, this is SO simple but SO genius. Ready? 🎀 ALWAYS pack a hair tie on your WRIST during travel days. I learned this one when I hosted a travel group for youth - I had several hair ties on my wrists & braided girls hair in the airport waiting for the plane! 🎀 Why? → Easy access when you need it (airports, planes, hot weather!) → Won't lose it in your bag → Can offer one to a new friend (instant connection!) → Reminds you to put your hair up BEFORE applying sunscreen (learned this the hard way!) BONUS: Use a SILK hair tie or scrunchie to prevent breakage and frizz! Told you it was simple! But I use this trick on EVERY TRIP. What's YOUR simple travel hack that everyone should know?
