 Trini girl natural hi everyone welcome back. I'm doing a special series on travel because I'm traveling soon So I wanted to share all my tips with you on surviving the airport surviving travel day and surviving your trip Someone's put it up into several videos But the first one this one is about surviving the airport why natural because I know it can be a big pain in The you know what I know it can be a big pain So my first tip is Don't try to wash your hair. I was before that same day or like Watch this enough of a trial. You don't need to come watch it and try to get to the airport So I know you want to have fresh hair, but at least do it a day before or you know At least do it like six hours before because I can't even imagine the stress of Having a watch they run late and you need to go you need to get ready, you know and in a similar way You know you have to get ready for that quote You know your budget how much time you need but it's an extra hair time Trust me because if you're having a bad hair day You don't want to be some because of that and you don't want to end up late or miss your flight because of that And I haven't done this for like flights But often I'm going out and especially in the morning because I'm not a morning person So I have to meet somebody like seven or something ridiculous and I'm like Let's do my hair five minutes You know, you know that but you can't do your hair in five minutes So don't even pretend if you can do your hair in five minutes and if you usually do your hair in fifteen minutes You better give yourself thirty minutes. Okay, that's exaggeration But give yourself some extra time just in case you're having a bad hair day Which brings us to what hair it is And the style you wear is the style you wear is very important Unfortunately as a natural since we are still discriminated against You know, as long as it's not affecting certain people, they don't care So if you go to the airport and you have like big hair, they're gonna be sticking their hands in it for no reason So, you know, a lot of people are gonna be like Don't even try it because I've seen so many Big-haired people of other races who have passed Happily while they stop the bad person because you know, so Anyhow, I don't want to avoid the man When screening the easiest thing to do is like to pull your head back into a bun or at least like a Portable of pigtails or something like that. So, you know, when you're getting ready, you can keep that in mind Definitely avoid bobby pins and anything with metal. You don't want to sell as a metal detectors So nothing would metal in your hair Like if you upgrade and you have like, you know, a whole bunch of body pins and stuff in you might even want to Depending on how Big your hair status or whether they can see your scouts, you might even want to take them out You might want to take them out anyway just to avoid problems in screening. So no metal Flatten your hair if you want to give in to the man If you are gonna just do you And they try to screen you make sure you ask them to get a new pair of gloves I'm just read up the read up your rights beforehand Because I know it's an escalator. No, people can get into all sorts of things, you know, so Be familiar and be aware and know what your eyes are and make sure they use the clean gloves And I think you can safely give them the stink eye You can safely at least be like your right to think I I Stink I Okay, you have to be careful about just in general as you always do what I always do is touchers like people That's what they come up and touch your hair. So still it for them. I know you're tired I know you probably didn't sleep last night you pop this morning you rushed and you just want to come But you know, still it touches if you don't like people touching your hair because they'll try it, you know So especially a crowded airport, especially if you just sitting down in your seat or a seat somewhere, you know, just Keep your back. Keep your back to a wall I don't know but still it for them if you don't like it because it's so annoying it can happen multiple times Like if you're in a network, but I think that's important It's like having a scrunchie or having a satin scarf or even having a bunnage if you're a boss for like when you're actually on the plane because you know, you want to protect your hair a lot of times asleep, maybe Leather-ish or it may not be so just in case you want to have some kind of satin scarf or something and To avoid putting up your hair or wrecking your style, maybe you might want to have a scrunchie and do a quick pineapple So like I said scrunchies Satin scabs or bonnets are great to just have for when you're on the plane And another thing about being on the plane it tends to be pretty dry So if you usually styled glycerin you might want to keep that in mind You know your hair can actually dry out a lot on the plane if you have a lot of glycerin in your hair and it's a long ride, so I Can't say I really avoid glycerin in my hair since it's just like one day I tend to moisturize extra But I am always conscious of that. So Another thing that can happen on the plane Be careful of windows. They can be actually very hot. I think I fell asleep once and almost gave myself heat damage I was like nervous about it because you know the window seat the window got really hot and I was leaning on it So it can be hot. It can be drippy tripping. No one knows what into your hair So I guess pay attention for like all these random things that could happen. Another tip is Carry a spray bottle and then you can also just wet your hands and like, you know Touch it up after like you get off the plane and it's all squished But if you have a spray bottle, it's even better, right? So just like spray it up and help refresh it If you have a little even an oil in your spray bottle, that's so much the better, right? I'm talking about leave-ins. Um, I Always endorse like just getting travel size like little lotion models Because I don't see the point in paying big money for travel size version of products And you can just get travel size bottles and pour any product you want into them Maybe some travel size Bottles will be a good idea to get I can get like a set of you know, three or whatever depending on the size And some of them even come with a cute little case and stuff for them. So Convenient and safe from spillage and stuff like that. So, yeah And this is going to be a tip in my next video as well about talking about spillage Be careful when you're carrying things especially like liquids like leave-ins and stuff. You probably can't carry much in your carry-on But it can still spill so make sure you wrap it extra tight Make sure you maybe put it like a layer of plastic under it to help seal it Put it in a plastic bag and seal that plastic. I'll give you double it So this is like after you get your security I guess because they're gonna probably dig up in it But after you get your security make sure everything is sealed really tight and Make sure you don't have any spills into the rest of your carry-on because I'll be really annoying, right? first losing whatever good leaving you have and second like messing up Lord knows what in there because you know, maybe electronics and stuff like that Yeah, so I guess that's about it. Wash your hair early You don't want to interrupt your packing time when you're getting there time. Give yourself extra time to pack Try to go flat hairstyles or ask them to put on new gloves if they're gonna search your hair watch out for touchers The plane can get dry your hair can get smushed your hair can run against a dry seat So you want to take precautions against all of that. I mean you get off the plane, you know Go to the bathroom Spritz it if you have your spray bottle or just like wet your hands and fluff in and just leave step out there like a ball because that's what I do So I hope you had fun watching this and I hope it wasn't formative Um, I hope it helps you with your travel plans Hope it has to it effort because I hate effort there and that's it Thanks for watching and see you in the next episode of my travel series. Bye
