Travelling, either by yourself or with your family, is as much a part of the summer as hundred-degree weather, tasty snowcones, and fireworks in July. Albeit exciting, leaving home to go to new places (or old favorites) definitely comes with a healthy dose of stress \u2013 especially for us moms, who tend to bear the responsibility of making sure the kiddos (and even the hubby) are properly packed, in addition to ourselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That stress level only doubles down for naturalistas. As much as we\u2019d like to pile our entire product collection into a hermetically-sealed, climate-controlled Gucci tote to bring along with us, we all know it\u2019s simply not feasible (plus I\u2019m not sure that technology exists just quite yet). Even still, I don\u2019t know any lady who would deny that how our hair looks plays a huge factor into how much we enjoy our trip, and taking measures to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while on vacation is of utmost importance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you find the sweet spot between packing lightly and being well-prepared? Here are some useful strategies I\u2019ve discovered over the years that might help you stay picture-perfect as you step out to see the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"color: #00afaa;\"><b>Pick one style for your entire trip.<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The particulars of your itinerary are useful not only in mapping out the must-see attractions or go-to eateries you want to visit. They also can (and should) be used to settle the other variables in your preparation process \u2013 which outfits to pack, and more importantly, how to wear your hair for these activities. If you know you\u2019ll be at the beach and in the water\/sand often, you may want to opt for a protective style in the interest of long-lasting durability. If you\u2019re going to walk around in an open, sunny area, be sure to pack a hat or wrap to protect your hair from excess sun exposure. In addition, remember that time is of the essence \u2013 you don\u2019t want to spend a lot of time getting ready to go out like you might at home. Most of us have an adjusted \u201cprep routine\u201d for when we\u2019re on vacation; you\u2019ll want to factor your hair into that equation, so that you spend less time wrestling with it, and more time actually enjoying yourself!<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><b><span style=\"color: #f7a800;\">Be aware of the weather conditions.<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This can definitely be a bit tricky. Not only can you never fully predict the weather, sometimes it\u2019s difficult\u00a0to know how your hair will react to different conditions. However, the projected forecast of your travel destination to is definitely useful information to have. If you\u2019re heading somewhere with high humidity, you\u2019ll obviously want to opt for a style that won\u2019t frizz as soon as you step outside.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ReneeQuote.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-938 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ReneeQuote.jpg\" alt=\"ReneeQuote\" width=\"2059\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ReneeQuote.jpg 2059w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ReneeQuote-595x108.jpg 595w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ReneeQuote-768x139.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ReneeQuote-960x174.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2059px) 100vw, 2059px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"color: #ada400;\"><b>Make your products travel-friendly.<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Whether you\u2019re flying or driving, packing as lightly as possible is always a good idea. And deciding on a single style for your trip allows you to condense the number of products you need to bring along. Add a small amount of your favorite products to translucent two-ounce containers (available at most mass retailers like Target) for ease of access (as well as adherence to flight regulations). Or, you could simply invest in the travel-sized versions of your favorite brands \u2013 all of Uncle Funky\u2019s Daughter products are available in two-ounce travel-friendly versions!<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"color: #ff6c00;\"><b>Have a backup plan.<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As nice as preparation is, it\u2019s simply impossible to account for all of the potential variables that can take place. However, as the well-travelled among us know, the key to making any trip great is going with the flow. Not everything will go as planned \u2013 in fact, things almost <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">never<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> go as you plan \u2013 and your ability to be flexible in the face of unexpected circumstances can certainly make or break your trip. So, set a hair contingency plan in place! Perhaps a quick and easy up-do that can solve for a potential hair crisis and still look great \u2013 similar to your Plan A, you\u2019ll want it to be simple to achieve and time-friendly.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, seeing new sights and experiencing new cities can be an incredibly fulfilling endeavor. With half of the summer left still left to enjoy, you still have plenty of time to plan a trip! \u00a0Do you have any tricks you use to keep your hair looking great during travel??
