Hairbrained – Packing for Perfect Hair by Beauty Expert, Gina Rivera

You’re so proud of yourself. This time you’ve packed all the right products to take care of your hair on your dream vacation. But, now the hard part begins. How should you style it to look your best?

Sometimes styling can be extra challenging when traveling to climates that you, and your hair, are not use to. So, let’s talk about the styling “Must Haves”.

Styling gel is a product that should absolutely be placed in everyone’s suit case. It’s designed to give your hair a certain amount of hold. For those with curls, gel is perfect for humid climates if you’re looking to prevent frizz.  It’s also great for those that may want to let their hair dry naturally while maintaining its shape.

Hairspray is definitely the next “go to” product. Nowadays, there are many different hairspray holds. This makes it easy to find a hairspray that will work with your hair regardless of the climate.  Equally great is the fact that most professional brands offer sample sized bottles and cans that can fit neatly into your suit case. These are great for traveling.

Bobby Pins are another essential item. These little gems are useful for almost anything from pinning your bangs back to holding stray hair pieces in place. The can also tuck away neatly in updos if that’s the look you’re going for.

Barrettes and clips are also vital items. They’re a good staple for any trip because they allow for versatility. An ornate barrette can be worn with a sophisticated outfit while a simple barrette can be worn with a bathing suit on the beach. Clips have the same purpose, they can easily go from day to night.

Now, if you want to invest a little more, hair extensions are a perfect way to change your look temporarily.  It’s also fun to add colored extensions in accordance with the season. Pastels work really well for summer time. They’re fun too, making it extra worth it to give this this look a try.

Finally, who could forget hats.  This is a great way to keep your hair from fading and protect it from the sun. Plus, the styles and looks are endless. From the ball cap to the fedora, there’s a style for every look.

Have a great summer and remember, styling and accessorizing the hair is all about personal style. Have fun with it. Now you better get packing! .
