I don\u2019t know about you, but spring break is the time \"\"of year that\u00a0I most look forward to! As we get closer and closer to summer, the warm and breezy, “in-between” weather just makes me a unique kind of happy.\u00a0<\/span>This spring, I’ll be visiting the beach and there are definitely some essential items and products that I must have with me on this trip. <\/span><\/p>\n

First and foremost,\u00a0I’ll need a big stylish tote to carry all of my things in. You always want to make sure you grab a bag that not only fits your style, but one that is roomy enough for all the rest of your essential items. In addition, g<\/span>rabbing your favorite pair of stylish sunglasses is a must. The perfect accessory to wear while on the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sunscreen is another important item. Be sure that you are protecting your skin from damaging UV rays by applying sunscreen. A great pair of\u00a0flip flops\/slides are definitely a must-have! You can easily put them on or take them off whether you are walking along the beach or deciding to take a break and walk the strip or boardwalk along the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n

And of course, I will always<\/em>\u00a0make sure I have white fingernail polish, it\u2019s the perfect color to take a long with you because it matches everything! <\/span><\/p>\n

On another note, when it starts to warm up outside, I don\u2019t like to have my hair down and touching my neck. Since I\u2019m visiting the beach for my spring break this year, I\u2019ll be rocking a big curly pineapple \u2014 a cute, easy style that\u2019s perfect for fun in the sun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, my pineapple is just a pinned-up wash-n-go. Just like my next curl sister, when my WNG is a couple of days old, I put it up in a pineapple or a puff to not only get a few more days out of the style, but switch things up in the process. And since I love a good wash-n-go, the pineapple just so happens to be my go-to lately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, the key to any good style is making sure you have the right products to make it work! For my wash-n-go, I’ll need shampoo, conditioner, a moisturizer, and a styler. That’s what makes Uncle Funky’s Daughter’s Busy Beauty Travel Kit<\/strong><\/span><\/a> so perfect for these types of trips \u2014 all of the different products I need in one, easy-to-carry pouch. UFD’s travel kits feature two-ounce bottles of their products, which is great for mobility, whether you’re flying to a destination and need to lighten your load, or need to head from the gym to a meeting and don’t have time to stop at home in between. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, to prepare for my pineapple, I shampoo my hair with UFD\u2019s Squeaky Deep Cleansing Shampoo<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, and follow up by conditioning with UFD\u2019s Midnite Train\u00a0Leave-In Conditioner<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. After using those products my hair is clean, moisturized, and ready to be styled.<\/p>\n

To lock the moisture in my kinks I use Good Hair Conditioning Styling Cream<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. When you are out and about soaking up the sun rays, it\u2019s important to make sure that your hair is thoroughly moisturized. This product alone smells so delicious! <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Lastly, I coat my strands with the Curly Magic Curl Stimulator<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and it gives my curls hold without the crunch. When using this product with the Good Hair, my hair feels like butter. I finish up the style by giving my hair a nice sheen with the Glossy Finishing Hair Polish<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, with any trip to the beach, while it will be relaxing you have to know that sweating your hair out is inevitable. I most likely won\u2019t have time to rewash my hair, so to refresh my strands after being out and about, I\u2019ll use Defunk Hair Refresher Tonic<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. It smells great and will definitely hold me over until my next wash day! <\/span><\/p>\n
