10 Travel Size Products for Curly Hair

travel size hair products for curly hair

Hair care can be a challenge when it comes time to vacation. Since you’re only allotted limited space in your luggage, you’ll surely consider travel size hair products for curly hair. You own an infinite number of too-large-to-carry-on-the-plane products and packing them into mini travel size bottles is just another thing to add on your pre-travel to-do list.

For a long time traveling while natural felt like a game of eenie-meenie-miney-moe, as I was forced to pick my 3 favorite products to pack. Before the success of natural hair products, many naturals were purchasing products that weren’t the best for their hair texture, yet once the industry made way for more curl-friendly hair lines, we still lacked travel sizes that would last us for that four-day vacation.

We were reduced to hoarding packets upon packets of sample sizes, or simply purchasing new products after reaching the destination.

When I traveled away for college in 2011, I had only been a year into my natural journey, and wasn’t well versed on how to pack for my hair type. The solution was my mother packing a Fed-ex box full of products I had at home, and overnighting it to me.

In the end when it was time for me to return home, I had given many of my products away to friends that were staying on campus, and had to restock my product collection. Fortunately, those times have begun to cease since many natural hair companies are jumping on the train to travel size, and not just for hair products.

No more reducing big bottles of your favorite Shea Moisture into those store-bought travel containers – this is one trend more natural companies should consider. Below is a list of 10 awesome brands that offer travel size kits and products.
