Tip #6: Packing
When packing for a trip, keep this in mind: TWO OF EVERYTHING.
In order to make sure I don’t forget anything, I make sure I purchase a second set of everything outside of clothes. I keep all of my items in a travel bag that I can easily place in any carry-on. For example, rather than forgetting to pack my toothbrush, I already have one stashed in my travel bag for safe-keeping. Here are examples of other items I keep packed away and ready to go:
- Comb
- Brush
- Toothbrush
- Hair Accessories (bobby pins, hair ties, etc.)
- Cotton Ball
- Q-Tips
- Hair Scarf
- Slumber Cap
- Shower Cap
The list could surely go on forever! What are some things that you’ll make sure to keep in your ready-to-go travel bag?












Due to a makeup mishap, I now have travel makeup!
That’s a smart idea! We’ll have to add that to the list!
I keep the small, travel size bottles of body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and deoderant in my travel bag. I also have small containers of any hair products I think I might need on my trip.
Nice! You can never have too many hair products for backup!
