Traveling with Natural Hair...and Snow Fun!!



Spring Break is here, and unlike others people that decide to head to warmer areas, the girls and I decided to head up north for some snow fun.

Since this is my first time traveling with natural hair, I wanted to make it as stress free as possible. With luggage space being an issue (we were only taking one suitcase), I wanted to pack something that will provide multiple purpose and not take up too much space.

Here is what I decided to pack:

My plan is to keep my hair in flat twists and then do a flat twist out and end up later on in the week as a puff. I will document this and share with you how it goes.

In the meantime, the girls had so much fun planning in snow and build a snow family which included a snowgirl with two afro puffs!

Hair porosity: Hair with low porosity may have a harder time absorbing moisture, leading to dryness and split ends. 3. Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft.
