The Messy Bun

(takes 2-3 minutes)

3 Cute and Easy Hairstyles for Travel

For the first hairstyle, you’re going to want to work with completely dry detangled hair. I’m using a Wet Brush which is the best for detangling while being gentle on your hair. Then you’re going to want to add a little texture and volume to your hair. For this, I use the Redkin Fashion Works Hairspray.

Then take an elastic band and wrap it once half way around your bunched up hair, pulling the end of the pony tail around the base creating a bun look. Wrap the elastic band once again around the base of that bun sticking in those ends.

Then you’re actually going to want to start pulling hair out from the elastic (just a bit) to create more volume and give your hair that messy look. If you take out too much hair, don’t worry you can just tuck some back under the elastic. The more imperfect it looks, the better.

Perfect imperfection is what we are going for. It’s as simple as that!

Heatless Waves

The next hairstyle is one of my favourites. You can do this the night before your early morning flight.

You’re going to want to wash your hair and let it air dry almost completely. If it’s a little damp, that’s okay. I also add a bit of Redkin Frizz Dismiss or Moroccan Oil into my hair to make it less frizzy and softer looking. Then you’re going to want to split your hair into two sections right down the middle.

When you go to do this a third time, you’ll want to take more hair from the back and add it into your front hand, over and into the twist. Repeat this step until you reach the base of your neck.

Then take your hair and wrap it up into a low bun and secure it with an elastic band. Do the exact same on the other side of your head. When you’re done, you should look a little something like Princess Leia.

Now comes the best and easiet part of all – you get to sleep on it. Once you wake up in the morning, you can take out your hair, run your fingers through it a bit and be left with beautiful heatless waves. Easy peasy.

Faux Waterfall Headband Braid

(takes 6-7 minutes)

3 Cute and Easy Hairstyles for Travel_2

This hairstyle only takes an extra minute or two and can add a whole other level of cuteness to your look.

Then taking the side with more hair, grab a thick layer from the top and divide it into three sections. Now, take these three pieces and complete a basic braid all the way down. Secure it with an elastic band.

Then start taking small sections from the front of your head and loop it through the braid. To do this, you’ll want to squeeze your fingers through the stitch, so you can pull through the hair in the front. Clip this threaded piece to the side so it doesn’t get in your way. Continue this step all the way down until you reach the top of your ear.

Grab all of the pieces you clipped aside along with some hair from the back of your head and attached it all together with an elastic band. Voila! Plane perfect hair.
