I’m dreaming of summer vacation and rounded up travel-sized curly hair products from many of our favorite brands for you.
I do try to refill my mini bottles and jars as much as possible, but I’ve found that I tend to forget what exact product is inside those generic “shampoo: bottles… So, I’ve now opted to buy a branded mini and keep it to refill for next time.
These little minis are also great to try new products without spending on full-sized bottles just yet. But…hold off on any experimenting during your vacation. Let’s save the trials for weekend lounge days at home. Instead, enjoy those memorable photo moments with your tried-and-true product favorites.
From styling gel, sprays, dry shampoos, and more, here’s the shopping lineup for vacation-ready hair. They are all under the TSA carry-on limit of 3.4 ounces. But of course, you can still bring your full-size containers inside your checked baggage too.
“You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. Pack items that are in containers larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in checked baggage.”

Travel-Sized Curly Hair Care Favorites
Shampoos and conditioners are easy to store in reusable travel bottles, but it’s convenient to have some brand bottles to remember what’s inside. Do look for brand bottles that are still refillable so you can keep them for many more vacations too.

Travel-Sized Curly Hair Styling Products
An eco-friendly and money saving tip for these travel-sized styling products is to save makeup and skincare jars to reuse. These containers are usually very sturdy, leak-proof, and great for storing hair gels and curl creams. Just remember to use some waterproof labels to remember what’s inside this time.
