Traveling with hair extensions can be challenging, especially if the goal is to maintain their aesthetics, durability, and shine throughout the journey. Whether the destination is a relaxing vacation or a business trip, proper preparation and care for hair extensions are crucial. Taking proper care of your hair while traveling will help keep it in perfect condition throughout the trip.
Doubts often arise regarding carrying hair extensions onboard an airplane. The answer is clear – it is allowed, but certain rules must be followed to avoid unnecessary problems. Hair extensions, especially those made from natural strands, can be carried in carry-on luggage. However, remember the specific size requirements of airlines regarding luggage, as well as regulations regarding items carried onboard. More information on this topic can be found in a separate guide on transporting hair extensions on a plane, which link will be added below.
To protect hair extensions from damage during transport, they must be properly packed. Here are some proven methods that will ensure their durability and safety:
Tying the hair – before packing hair extensions, it is worth tying them carefully. Using a loose braid, bun, or ponytail is an excellent way to protect against tangling. Such a hairstyle reduces the risk of damage to the strands and prevents them from creasing and deforming.
Using special cases – the best solution is to store hair extensions in a protective case or box. This will help avoid knots and broken strands that may occur as a result of travel.
Avoiding excessive crushing – when access to a case is limited, it is a good idea to wrap the hair in a silk or satin material. Such fabrics minimize friction, which reduces the risk of damage to the hair structure, especially when transported in a suitcase.
In addition to proper packing, it is worth taking additional precautions during the trip itself to prevent hair extensions from being damaged. The following issues should be considered:
Avoiding contact with water – in places where there is contact with water, such as swimming pools, the sea, or lakes, remember to avoid contact of the extensions with water, especially with salt or chlorinated water, which can damage the structure of additional strands. It is best to use protective caps or secure the hair in a loose bun.
Protection against high temperatures – in hot countries, protect hair extensions from sunlight. Prolonged exposure of hair to the sun can dry out the strands, making them dull and brittle. In this case, use special sun protection sprays or wear a hat to protect against direct UV rays.
Hair protection during sleep – while traveling by plane or train, ensure sleeping comfort, remembering to properly secure the hair. Tying them in a loose braid or bun will help avoid tangling. Additionally, a silk hair band will help protect them from rubbing against the pillow, which minimizes the risk of damage.
Hair extensions, like your own natural hair, require proper care to maintain a healthy appearance and shine. While traveling, when access to a full range of care products may be limited, take care of basic needs.
Washing hair – while traveling, where access to a shower may be irregular, ensure that the hair is cleaned regularly, especially in humid climates or by the sea. Use gentle moisturizing shampoos that do not weigh down the hair. These shampoos are available on e-hairshop.com.
Moisturizing conditioner – hair extensions can become dry due to sun, wind, or air conditioning. Bring a light moisturizing conditioner and a tip oil to prevent brittleness and improve appearance. E-hairshop.com provides the best hair care products at every stage of care, so reach for reputable products.
Brushing and combing – regular brushing of hair is essential to keep it in good condition. Bring a special brush for hair extensions from the brushMe! series, which will prevent tearing and breaking. Comb the hair gently, starting from the ends and gradually moving to the roots.
After arriving at the destination, take a moment to care for your hair extensions to restore their full aesthetics and condition.
After arriving at the destination, wash your hair to remove impurities and dust. Use a gentle shampoo and moisturizing conditioner, for example, from the reputable careMe! series, to restore shine to your hair. Additionally, to improve hair condition, you can use a regenerating mask also from e-hairshop.com.
After washing your hair, give it the appropriate shape, especially when it is necessary to maintain an elegant appearance. Using a curling iron or straightener will help achieve the desired effect, but remember not to overdo it with temperature to avoid damaging the hair structure.
Traveling with hair extensions requires care and proper preparation. Proper securing of the hair and systematic care are crucial. Well-groomed hair extensions will look great throughout the trip if they are protected from harmful external factors, such as the sun, moisture, or temperature. Appropriate protective and care products will allow you to enjoy their excellent appearance regardless of travel conditions.
