Personal Care

I will be packing all the personal care goodies. Trying my best to bring solids and wipes where I can.

I'm opting for solid products as much as possible and this toothpaste not only works well but it's also a cleaner alternative to the usual brands

Hair

Haircare I packed for this trip and will likely take on the next trip

I used this mousse during braid refreshes. I packed a full size and didn't end up using it. I think I would have been more likely to use it if I packed it as a travel size.

To protect my protective style, I always bring a scarf to maintain the look as long as possible

Same deal with the scarf, but since I tend to have long braids, I'll usually protect them by wearing both a scarf and a bonnet

It was hot everywhere I went and it was nice to use these to get my hair out of the way. The satin texture also helps with snagging
