Diamonds & Pebbles: Travel Hair Essentials.

Okay, I promise this will be the last post revolving around travel and hair (although that said I am going to Rome next weekend and may be tempted to write a little something about it, but I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it). So anyway, over the last two weeks I’ve shared a few bits regarding travelling with natural hair, but today I wanted to share some great tips I read about early this week on CurlyNikki by Mary Wolff, about the four must-haves every girl needs for her next vacation. Now obviously not everything on the list will apply (hey perhaps nothing will), but these are still great things to have at home regardless of whether you find yourself in a different country or locale. Ready? Here goes…

this pack was only £5 from boots! :O

I told you not every item on this list would be relevant and I definitely have to say that this is the one thing that doesn’t really apply to me. However, for those of you who this does apply to, microfiber towels are great because they are highly absorbent, the reduce frizz and breakage, and are just better for your hair. Instead of worrying about how to dry your hair while you’re away, simply pack this in your bag and you’re good to go. Or if you’re like me, simply pack your trusty!

not got a microfibre towel? no problem, your old white tee will do the trick

A definitely must-have that every girl should have in her arsenal. Not only can you wrap your hair up at night, keeping your locks styled for the next day, but a hair wrap can easily double as a chic accessory. Case in point, in Norway I used my hair wrap to sleep in at night, but then during the day I rolled it up as a headband, and saved me from having a crazy hair day.

For me, I’d probably replace coconut oil with my Paltas B.K.C leave in conditioner spray because I love what it does for my hair. I was pleasantly surprised about how well it kept my hair moisturised and unaffected by the cold Norway air.

not exactly coconut oil, but I'd definitely recommend,,,

This one I feel is just an all-round fabulous essential that I still need to get. Wolff suggests slipping this in your suitcase – it’ll literally take up no space at all – and then that way you don’t have to worry about the hotel or destination’s pillows ruining your hair.
