Have Fabulous Hair Even While Traveling

By //  by  Leave a Comment

Women who travel a lot get it. Traveling can take a toll on your hair, especially if you have curls, colored hair, or hair extensions. The goal of this blog is to share some tips I’ve learned throughout my years of traveling. If you have any other tips you’d like to share, let us know on Instagram! 

4 fabulous hair care tips for your next vacation! 

Airplanes have a way of draining you and worst of all, making you look exhausted and messy. It’s important to feel great when you’re traveling, and this includes making sure you always look fabulous – even after flying!  

There are a few simple things you can do to make sure you won’t have to worry about your hair. All it takes is a little prep before taking off and a few seconds throughout the day.

Check the weather before flying. Really you do need to check it!

Avoid frizzy, dry, or unmanageable hair by packing the right products. You know your hair best. You know how your hair reacts to dry, humid, hot, or cold weather. But what you may not know is where to find the products to manage your hair’s different personalities. Pack them beforehand by knowing what the weather will be like. At home, you may already have the needed products, so all you have to do is toss them in a travel-sized container or come and see us for your travel-sized products!  

Ponytails and Buns are your best friend on the plane. 

These hairstyles help keep your hair manageable and free from static. They also keep your hair from having that always unwanted flyaway, which always seems to find its way out.  

Use a hydrating product. Great for the plane and dry or cold weather. 

Going somewhere chilly? Cold air tends to be dry, and that is not ideal for keeping moisture. The air in airplanes is also dry, so you need to give your hair some help so it can stay hydrated. Just like you moisturize your skin and lips, you also need to make sure your hair is moisturized. The right shampoo and conditioner helps, but don’t overlook the benefits of a hydrating product. Hydrating products like serums, sprays, or leave-in conditioners are also great for keeping your hair looking fabulous and keeping it manageable.

Hydrate. Then Hydrate some more.

Most of us don’t drink enough water throughout the day. Traveling takes a toll on our body, hair, skin, and nails, so it becomes even more important to stay hydrated. Reach for that glass or bottle of water to make sure you drink enough and stay hydrated. Your skin, hair, and nails will thank you. Staying hydrated keeps you looking your best and helps prevent premature aging. 

I hope you enjoyed these tips and remember to share any of your tips with us! We’d love to hear what they are! If you need any suggestions for a hydrating product, let us know!  

Extend the life of your sew-in hair extensions

What girl doesn’t want gorgeous hair in minutes? Now, what if a few minutes today could give you gorgeous hair for two months or more? That’s precisely what sew-in hair extensions do! A little time today goes a long way towards saving you a ton of time later on. Plus you’ll look and feel like a million bucks.

Quality hair extensions (like the ones we use at Salon Nirvana 954) are made from real human hair, which means they’ll look, feel, move and be styled as if they were your own hair. Just like your real hair, you need to keep your hair extensions properly maintained, so they last longer and look great the entire time you’re wearing them.

The number one tip we always tell people regarding hair extension maintenance is always use the right products. Just like overusing chemicals can dry out your real hair, the same is true for hair extensions. The difference is since hair extensions are not being supplied nutrients from your scalp, you need to do what you can to keep them looking healthy for as long as possible, and that begins with the products you use.

Here are four products we recommend for maintaining your hair extensions.

Product 1
From our organic line moisturizing conditioner
Product 2
From our organic line moisturizing shampoo
Product 3
From our organic line moisturizing de-tangler
Product 4
Dry conditioner

If you have any questions regarding these products or if you’re using something else and want to know what we think about it, let us know!

 

Hair masks and 3 reasons we love them!

You put masks on your face, so why not on your hair too? Hair masks do what shampoo and conditioner cannot. Just like you have a skincare routine to keep your face healthy and looking younger, you should incorporate hair masks into your routine as well.

Hair masks go in deeper than conditioner.

Hair masks are designed to go in deeper, much deeper than conditioner which keeps the ingredients of the mask in your hair longer to really target any hair related issue you want to get rid of.

Hair trouble? There’s a mask for that!

Hair masks are packed with ingredients to solve whatever problem you have – from dry, damaged, and frizzy hair to thin or flat, limp hair. There’s a mask out there for you. You can find masks that target very specific hair types like curly hair too!

They’re super easy to use.

Just make sure your hair is clean and apply your hair mask. Some masks work better on dry hair while others work best on wet hair. Applying the mask can take a minute or so then you just have to wait and let the mask work hard while you relax. Make sure to comb the mask through your hair and up to the tips. Since your tips are the most fragile part of your hair, you want to make sure to coat them thoroughly.
