If you have ever been on a beach vacation or are planning to, natural hair could be challenging. However, with the right preparation your bag will have all the essentials you need for your beach getaway. Here are some travel friendly tips that will make packing a breeze as well as a few natural hair essentials for your bag.
Preparing for Summer Vacation
Check the weather: Once you have confirmed your destination, look up the climate. Tropical beaches can have high humidity, wind, and rain as oppose to California beaches may feel drier with low humidity. Once you determine your destination, you can figure out what hairstyles can work for you.
Protective Hairstyles: Braids and faux locs are great ways to maintain and protect your natural hair during your beach vacation. I recommend them because they require little to no effort. If you are planning on changing up your hairstyles throughout the trip, be ready to pack more hair products and tools.
Pack like a pro: Packing can me a nightmare for a product junkie (I am one of them!). Your best option is investing in travel size bottles for all of your must have products. Your suitcase will thank you later!
Something I can't stress enough is sunscreen! People think that the sunscreen they put on their face and body is enough to protect them from harmful rays. When in reality your hair and scalp need just as much SPF to shield from damaging UV rays, heat, and the elements of the pool or beach. Here are some must-have products that can help protect those curls!
Sun Protection for Hair

Bumble And Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat & UV Protective Primer: This softening UV hair mist is infused with a blend of coconut, argan, macadamia nut, sweet almond, safflower seed, and grapeseed oil. It’s lightweight formula can be used on damp or dry hair to detangle, tame frizz, and protect from heat and harmful UV rays.
Ouidad Sun Shield Sun & Sport Leave-In Spray: This UV spray seals in moisture and nourishes your curls. The proteins and amino acids help lock in moisture and prevent exposure to outdoor elements. It is very lightweight and does not weigh the hair down.
Along with your must have hair products, hair accessories are just as essential.
