We suddenly had a frightening thought: “Hold on! How on earth can a wig survive the winds and humidity in the natural environment of our vacation resort?” Because, between you and me, we’d much rather stay at home than go vacation somewhere that isn’t stylish and chic.
We dug through countless high fashion campaigns for the Summer of 2014 (it was very difficult to find images featuring modestly dressed models), but the same hairstyle recurred in all of the shoots.
Long, wavy, natural-looking and free flowing, which is easy to style and maintain on your own every night.
We also noticed a recurrence the classic gathered look, secured by a ponytail, which keeps hair out of your face while sailing and prevents excess oiliness and knotting due to the moisture and gusty winds.
Since we’re dealing with wigs here, and not just regular hair, Brindie offered to impart some helpful tips for maintaining your wig while traveling or vacationing. Cut this out and keep in in your passport case.
- Silicone spray or drops: Make sure you keep a bottle with you at all times. An absolute must!
- Brush the wig with a hairbrush dampened with water. Then gently massage it with the silicone.
- In the evening, roll it in a few curlers and leave it like that overnight.
- Before using, shake it out, air it out and then use silicone-moistened hands to manually perk it up.
- The experts among us can use an iron on VERY low heat.
- Another trick you can try is to put the wig in a bag overnight. Roll it up and tuck it in for a good night’s sleep. In the morning, shake it out, perk it up, and then relax it using the silicone.
In short, water, air, silicone and a loving touch should do the trick. Have a great vacation!
For those of you who asked, we’ve included an image of the silicone we recommend:
We recommend the following products:
Smoothing by Paul Mitchell
TechiArt by L’oreal
Glimmer Shine by Moroccanoil
Mythic Oil
Make sure to check that the silicone is non-greasy. This is very important!
