Are you planning a vacay with your girls? Or perhaps you’re going on a, business trips. Better yet, a weekend getaway with your boo? If so, please make room for one or two more. Hear us out—no matter where you’re going, you’re going to need your hair to please & keeping up with a hair care routine while traveling just isn’t realistic. Luckily, we have a few tips to keep your hair nourished and looking healthy, with minimal effort to keep, while you’re on the go!

1. Pack Multi-Purpose Products

Save space in your bag by choosing products that serve multiple functions.

●      MPL Olive Hair Oil – Works as a moisturizer, sealant, and scalp oil.

●      MPL Sure2Gro Fermented Rice Water – Strengthens hair, reduces breakage, and can be used as a leave-in treatment or rinse.

●      MPL 5 Hair Oils – Soothes the scalp, reduces itchiness, and locks in moisture.

These mean fewer bottles in your suitcase while still keeping your hair in top shape.

2. Stick to a Simple Routine

When traveling, do like the nomads do, less is more. There isn’t time for an elaborate 10-step wash day. Keep things simple:

●      Cleanse: Use a travel-sized shampoo or co-wash to refresh your hair.

●      Condition & Detangle: Opt for a deep conditioner to restore moisture.

●      Seal & Protect: Use a lightweight oil to lock in hydration and keep strands smooth.

3. Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Don’t let the Egyptian cotton trick you into forgetting about proper headgear for sleeping.

●      Bring a silk or satin scarf, bonnet, or pillowcase to reduce breakage.

●      If you forget one, wrap your hair in a soft cotton T-shirt as an alternative.

4. Choose Low-Maintenance Styles

Protective styles are your best friend when traveling!

●      Braids, twists, or cornrows keep hair neat and require minimal upkeep.

●      Buns and puffs are quick and easy styles for wash-and-go hair.

5. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

Different climates can strip moisture from your hair, so hydration is key.

●      Keep a small spray bottle with water and MPL Olive Hair Oil for quick moisture boosts.

●      Drink plenty of water—healthy hair starts from within!

The last thing you need when travelling is to worry about your hair. So book your hair appointment and keep the stress to the fits.

Love, MPL

Your Hair Doctor.
