My Favorite Travel Hairstyle: Braids

I get my hair done by the same lady that has done it for the last five years. Yes y’all, one lady does all the hairstyles that you have seen and probably will continue to see on my blog and on Instagram. Her name is Bernadette and she is a hair whisperer! She knows when I need to braid and when I need to give my scalp a break. So when I told her that I was heading out on vacation, the hairstyle of choice for me was braids.

STYLING FLEXIBILITY

Braids, in my opinion, are the most manageable hairstyle – second only to probably going bald or having really short hair. They allow you to go from a high pony to a slicked back hairdo in less than three minutes! I am not one of those girls that loves to do hair for hours and hours – spoiler alert: this is not a hair blog! I am a get-up-and-go type of a girl, which makes braids the perfect hairstyle for me.

WHIP MY HAIR

Braids are perfect for the beach. Vacationing in Hawaii this past week solidified my love of braids. I swam in the ocean, got dressed for fancy dinners and even squeezed in sunrise yoga! And you know what was the best part? I didn’t need to bring any hair product – I literally dried my hair and was ready to go!

TIME SAVER

There’s no need for blow drying, prepping braids for bed, perpetual moisturizing or even curling! Braids give you back time when on vacation. Do you need an extra 5 minutes for a cat nap before dinner? You got it! Need extra makeup time? You got it! Braids are literally the best time saver especially when on the move during your travels.
