Dec 31, 2024
This summer I hit the beach with my family and decided to skip the protective style. Wearing my natural hair on the beach without extensions is a freeing experience. In this video I talk about some of the tools and products I packed to maintain my hair while hitting the beach.

hey Co friends so I'm getting ready to
0:01
leave on a beach vacation for seven
0:04
nights 8 days with the family I am not
0:09
getting a protective style I'm not sure
0:11
if I've done it for this long of a
0:12
vacation but I've definitely gone out of
0:13
town without you know having to get
0:15
braids and twists and stuff and it's
0:17
freeing um but it requires a little bit
0:19
more planning so I just wanted to talk
0:22
about you know some of the things I'm
0:23
bringing some of the things I'm leaving
0:24
at home and yeah so if you are someone
0:30
normally wears wash and go or normally
0:31
wears your hair out leave a comment down
0:33
below and let me know do you normally
0:34
braid or twist it up before vacation or
0:36
you just go and let let your hair do
0:40
what it do all right so let's get
0:43
started the first thing I bringing with
0:45
me and my carryon are these traidora
0:49
minis so this has the goji berry mint
0:52
shampoo the Basu quench leave-in curl
0:55
primer the papaya slip taming potion and
0:59
the the bamboo Jensen glaze and I'm
1:02
putting this in my carry-on so that if
1:03
they lose my bag I can still Rock a wash
1:06
and go with this this and I would need
1:09
some conditioner some like regular rinse
1:11
out but this would be enough like Basu
1:14
quinch you know papaya slip or bamboo
1:16
jining glaze aren't my regular stylers
1:19
together like I normally use a pi slip
1:21
or bamboo jining with curly magic but I
1:23
have tried it with the leaveing before
1:25
the Basu Quench and it it it's fine so
1:29
if any anything they lose my baggage
1:32
I'll be able to get my hair done for
1:33
rinse out conditioner I'm bringing the
1:35
hydrating cream conditioner by
1:38
incense when I went to my most recent
1:41
Salon visit she recommended that I
1:43
switch from oen to this so I bought
1:46
these little containers so I'm going to
1:49
fill like two of these up with this each
1:52
of these are like 3 oz so then I'll have
1:54
6 oz of conditioner if I need it and I
1:57
think I'm going to put one in my
1:58
carry-on and one in my pack bag so
2:01
that's what I'm doing for a rinse out
2:03
conditioner for the trip I am also
2:06
rolling with my styling tools my
2:08
detangling
2:09
brush um this is this is called a
2:12
styling comb so it has like some of the
2:15
the tee for like much closer than the
2:17
wide tooth comb and then they like gradu
2:19
gradually get closer um so the styling
2:22
comb is what I use when I'm doing twist
2:25
outs or just want a smoother look to my
2:27
hair Alicia Leatherwood is coming this
2:29
is what that I detangle with no matter
2:31
what style I'm about to go into and just
2:34
the wide tooth comb so if I'm in the
2:35
rush I can just like rake some product
2:38
through my hair and be good to go I am
2:40
also bringing my sectioning Clips
2:43
because I use them for two reasons
2:44
sometimes I use them to keep my hair out
2:46
my face while I'm trying to wash my face
2:48
and put on makeup and stuff but also I
2:50
find that when I don't work my
2:52
conditioner in or detangling sections I
2:54
miss spots so I end up like putting mad
2:56
conditioner on and it's never in the
2:58
right places so when I work in sections
3:00
I do a better job of getting the
3:02
conditioner where it needs to be and
3:04
being good to go yeah so at first I
3:06
thought I was going to wear wash and go
3:08
most of the trip but my wash and gos
3:11
have not been holding up as well um I've
3:13
been in water a lot like my hair is like
3:14
this now because I want to the water
3:16
park yesterday in the pool the day
3:17
before that which is fine and I don't
3:20
mind this look it's just that if you if
3:22
I wear it too long like it gets really
3:24
tangly and harder to work with for wash
3:26
days and today is Monday and I just
3:27
washed my hair on Friday and normally I
3:29
get like much more weird out of my wash
3:31
and go like even in the pool when I use
3:34
you know stronger hold gels like bamboo
3:37
gensen glaze which is what I use to set
3:38
my hair on Friday so it's acting a
3:40
little different after this fresh cut
3:41
and I think that might be because I got
3:43
rid of all my hinted ends and that last
3:46
cut and I feel like they were adding
3:47
weight and those hinted ends were like
3:49
really porous so they defined really
3:51
easily so I'm getting used to this like
3:54
having straight up gray
3:56
hairs especially up here and I have to
3:58
work with them a little more to get the
4:00
definition and to get a cast to form and
4:02
get it to last so I'm still figuring
4:04
that all out so I feel like for this
4:06
trip I'm probably just going to dry my
4:09
hair in braids or do a twist out as a
4:12
style and the plan is to do that at
4:14
night and I feel like the nights that
4:16
that doesn't happen then I'll go ahead
4:17
and do a wash and go in the morning but
4:19
I don't install my hair every day I'm
4:21
hoping I only have to set it like to or
4:23
three times while I'm on vacation
4:26
and that's impacted the stylers that I
4:29
de decided to bring so I'm going to get
4:32
into that a little bit more now so I did
4:35
the tools the carry-on yes so on to the
4:39
stylers I'm bringing with me I am
4:41
bringing tryx High
4:44
reflux and this twist defying cream so
4:47
this is what I'll be using if I'm doing
4:48
like a braid out or a twist out at night
4:50
and I like these because I feel like
4:52
this makes this dry faster and also I
4:56
can use both these products on my boys
4:57
so if their hair is looking a little dry
4:59
and crunchy I got something to hook them
5:00
up so I'm bringing these and these are
5:03
going in my checked bag and I'm also
5:06
bringing curly magic um but I will not
5:09
travel with this bottle like this has
5:10
been sitting in my bathroom and it's all
5:13
sticky and stuff so I will be putting
5:15
some curly magic into two of these
5:18
travel bottles so two of these going to
5:20
have my conditioner and two of these are
5:21
going to have my um curly magic and I
5:25
like these because these are like really
5:26
soft they're like silicone and the
5:28
opening is wide enough to pour stuff in
5:31
and it's just squeeze it's squishy so
5:33
it's easier to squeeze products out of
5:35
here so this is why I'm using it for
5:36
like sticky thick products like Curly
5:39
magic and a hydrating cream hair bath
5:42
and I guess the last thing is hair
5:44
accessories so I got these bobby pins
5:47
cuz my hair is not long enough to put it
5:48
all up so if I want to put it up I'm
5:50
probably going to have to pin the back
5:51
up and also use some hair ties to get
5:54
that done so I'm bringing some bobby
5:55
pins also bringing some of my headbands
5:57
I got one on and bringing a a few
5:59
different colors with me in the bag and
6:03
again my Infinity hair tie so like if I
6:06
want to do like a half up half down
6:07
style or if I decide to do like a flat
6:10
twist one or well definitely not one if
6:12
I decide you know I want to do like two
6:14
flat twists or something like these are
6:15
good to tie them off so I'm definitely
6:17
bringing these like one of these
6:20
trepadora I sell trepadora so one of
6:22
these samples that I normally ship to my
6:25
customers like burst it and like it got
6:27
over all of these other samples so I'm
6:29
going to bring some of these so this one
6:31
is like the quinoa repair so I'm going
6:33
to bring that and these are a bunch of
6:34
like extra bamboo gensen glazes so
6:37
between like that many bottle and like
6:39
all these packets I will definitely have
6:41
enough to last me for the week if I
6:43
decided I want to do wash and goes and
6:45
wash my hair you know I have to reset it
6:47
every day which I don't imagine myself
6:49
doing I feel like part of the reason I
6:51
bought that twisting cream is like if I
6:52
get it you know tired of doing my hair I
6:54
would just like take the twisting cream
6:55
and put some twist in and leave it in So
6:58
yeah so then I have some stronger
7:00
conditioner if I need it also have some
7:03
bamboo Jensen glaze so I think that's
7:06
everything and oh the other thing I need
7:09
to bring more shampoo than that little
7:10
shampoo that's in there so I have like
7:12
the 8 oz size B bottles of like the
7:15
onion shampoo packing that cuz that's
7:17
going to be for me and everybody else
7:19
and my boys so I'm bringing that and I
7:22
might bring the 8 oz bot of O
7:24
conditioner I have I'm not sure yet
7:25
because I'm going to bring 6 oz of that
7:27
hydrating cream hair bath which is
7:29
enough for me but you know if I decide
7:31
to wash my boys here while we're down
7:33
there I might bring the O in but yeah so
7:35
that's what I got um I'm looking forward
7:37
to this Beach vacation it's a nice
7:39
little reset before the fall before back
7:42
to school and Halloween and Thanksgiving
7:44
and everything else just starts creeping
7:46
on up so just a littleit bit of time to
7:48
catch my breath and not stressing too
7:51
much about the hair cuz like I said if
7:53
it ends up like this the only concern I
7:55
have is Tangles and I can normally just
7:57
like shampoo condition
8:00
leaving braids so I'm not too worried
8:02
about it I don't plan on spending like a
8:04
a lot of time on my hair down there the
8:07
one thing that I didn't um mention in
8:09
the video that I'm trying to find like I
8:11
have one of those dryers that you know
8:13
it's soft I guess it's called a soft
8:15
Bonnet dryer like you attach it to the
8:17
holes of the dryer and then um like a to
8:21
you attach it to like the the blow dryer
8:24
and it's soft and it um kind of you know
8:27
stands up on your head like a hooded
8:29
drywood but it's soft like the
8:31
drawstring I think y know what I'm
8:33
talking about so I have that somewhere I
8:34
have not been able to find it yet
8:36
because I haven't used it in a while but
8:38
once I find that I do plan on bringing
8:39
that with me um cuz that will make sure
8:42
like on the days I want to retwist my
8:43
hair I can do that night sit under that
8:46
for like 20 minutes and be good to go
8:48
yeah so that's what I got I hope I
8:50
enjoyed this vacation I'll try to get
8:51
some clips let you clips of like what I
8:54
ended up doing with my hair on vacation
8:56
