How to keep your hair beautiful when on holiday

Traveling with a unit? NEVER stuff your wig in a bag. ALWAYS detangle first and place in a plastic zip lock bag. If hair is longer than the bag, pin curl the ends so the hair stays tamed, let all the air out the bag, seal, and go.
Advise customers to place a melted lace front wig unit on a mannequin head when not in use, also allowing long west kiss headband wig units to hang freely off the dresser or sit the mannequin head on a broomstick and place it in a corner to stand.

*If hair bundles with lace closure is curly, give it a fresh shampoo/ condition as instructed above, apply leave-in conditioner, drip dry and store in a long plastic bag. DO NOT DETANGLE CURLS until you have reached your destination.**

West kiss is going to give you some tips and tricks for getting organized and make sure you pack the essentials for your next trip!

1. Choose The Right Travel Bag

The L'ange Clear Travel Bag is perfectly sized for holding your human hair bundles with frontal hair care necessities. It’s made of a durable plastic material and features a flat bottom for keeping your bottles upright.

Because it’s see-through, it makes going through TSA checkpoints a breeze. Stash all of your travel-sized necessities inside and pop right through the screening line.

2. Pack hair accessories
Throw some headbands, headscarf, hair clips, elastics, and bobby pins into your suitcase—they could come in handy on your trip. When you don’t have time to style, wearing a headband or wrapping your hair in a pretty scarf is both effortless and stylish. Or when you’re in a hot, humid weather, a high ponytail may be the smartest hairstyle to wear.

3. Organize Your Suitcase
To make sure you have ample room for all of your beauty must-haves, invest in packing cubes for your clothing.

They’ll not only help you keep your suitcase organized by like items, but they’ll also make it easier to see what you’ve already packed. You’ll be less likely to overpack!

4. Shampoo and Conditioner
Choose a shampoo and conditioner duo that will help minimize the need to wash frequently while you are away. Try our gentle blowout line in travel size to keep your hair clean and voluminous.

When you're traveling, you're out and about most of the day. The more time you spend outside, the dirtier and greasier your hair gets. The easiest way to freshen up without water is to use dry shampoo. It would get rid of dirt and absorb oil in your strands between washes.

5. Bring On The Volume
Travel has a tendency to make our hair fall flat. Whether it’s the change in water, climate or our general styling routine, keep this secret weapon in your arsenal to ensure your hair does not deflate.

6. Pack Double Duty Hair Tools

Instead of taking multiple styling tools, try an iron that allows you to both straighten and curl your hair.

West kiss hair is an excellent no-frills choice with its rounded ceramic plates that rapidly heat up to 450°F and can be used to create a multitude of styles.

Protect your hair from pool or salt water
If you’re vacationing by the ocean or will be going for frequent dips in the pool, protect your hair before going into the water so it doesn’t soak up all the chlorine and salt. A good tip is to mix a dollop of leave-on conditioner with a glass of water, put it in a spray bottle, and give your hair a few spritzes before diving into the pool.

7. Learn A Go-To Hairstyle

If you’re not too keen on heat-styling while on vacation, why not brush up on your braiding or bun techniques?

A sleek, low or messy high bun makes for a classic, low maintenance hairstyle that is practically weatherproof.
