Gel on
Want super defined curls without the nasty crunch? Try Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curly Scrunching Hair Gel Extra Hold Travel Size ($2). And don’t worry about having to stock up on two many of these. A palm size amount gets the job done!
Boost curls
Give curls some extra bounce with the John Frieda Curly Boosting Mousse in travel size ($2). It not only defines curls but it tames frizz and flyaway hairs too.
Go green
If you’re the type that only likes putting natural products on your hair, try the Hair Rules Curly Hair Travel Kit ($25). These paraben-free, sulfate-free curly hair products don’t just meet all your curly hair needs, but they’re good for you too!
Touch up
Give your curls a more polished look, by touching them up with a travel-sized curly iron. I like the Conair Travel Smart by Conair Thermacell 3/4-inch Ceramic Curling Iron ($25). This cordless curling iron leaves curls smooth and defined, plus it fits into any carry-on bag!
