 Hey you guys, I'm in my guest bedroom because this is where I house most of my hair products. Now I have a truck plant back to Texas. I am from Texas next month, which by the time I load this up, it will be this month technically. I already have some products set aside that I set aside weeks ago. Now you can never, ever anticipate what the weather is going to be like, but what you can do and what I've done, even though I'm from Texas and I know what the weather is like, I like to look at what the forecast was the year before. So try to get a gauge of what it's going to be like. Now I'm in an area, I live in Phoenix, Arizona, where it's very dry. And quite as it kept, there are some products that are not best suited for hair where there's little to no humidity. You have to stay away from products that have a lot of glycerin and stuff like that because it draws moisture out of your hair. One thing that really worked for me, I'm in all honesty, was blowing out my hair, okay? Blowing out my hair using a serum, something that would help with the frizz, and just wearing my hair back tucked in a bun until I was ready to style it. So first to think about where you're going and playing out how do you anticipate wearing your hair while you're on vacation or you're going to be getting in water. What is the weather looks like? Is it going to be raining? So there's only so much you can prepare for, but just get an idea of what the weather's going to be like before you leave. And of course, stay hair products. What are you going to be taking with you? How are you going to be styling your hair? These are things that I think about, especially coming from an area that's dry to humid. So the three items I do pack for sure is a leave-in conditioner, an oil, and a styling product. That leave-in can dual as a styling product. Great. I don't have to do much. So by now, most of you know that a lot of companies do sell sample packages. TGIN is a good one. Sultana clothes allocate naturals. Most of the major hairlines sell sample packages or sample products if you wanted to carry the little sample. For me personally, I want to take what I already have. I don't want to spend any more money, okay girl? I don't want to spend my money at the bar where I'm going to. Okay, I'm not a lush. But anyway, I have these empty-sized travel bottles that I purchased. This right here is a two ounce. You can of course have four ounce. So in one, this is the Camille Rose Honey Leave-In. In this other one, I have an oil here, a hair oil mixture. And then this last one is a leave-in conditioner, okay? So then another option would be to wait until you get to your destination to purchase your products. Perhaps your visiting family. And I think that also depends on how long you're going to be there. I'm only going to be in Texas for four days. I will probably have to remorsterize my hair by the third day or probably have to remorsterize my hair. But again, my hair will be tucked back in a protective style. It really won't be out exposed to the elements. So it should be okay by the third or fourth day, okay? Hey you guys. So it is a few weeks before our trip back to Texas and I have finally determined the products I will be packing for myself and my son. By the way, that's another thing you have to consider if you have a family, if you have children who has hair. Thank God I just have a little boy, you know, girl. So some of these products will be for him. Now I did decide to go ahead and purchase a new blow dryer so you will be seeing short clips of me blowing out my hair. Typically I blow out my hair using the tension method but I will be using a comb attachment. Now the reason why I am blowing out my hair is because I have a formal event. I'm going to three days after we arrive and I want to set my hair and basically I want to wear loose waves and to do that is by setting my hair in chunky twists. So again, the products are a hair oil mixture. The Camille Rose Honey Leave In. This is more so for my son. I've been using this on him. I have a review on this product. It does not work well on my hair. We have the Meal Organics Leave In. We have the Proclaim Glossin Polishing Serum. I love this stuff. I have probably, that's not enough. That's not enough. I'm more than likely buying another one of these. And then we have some hair spray and then we have some Shea Butter. So what I tend on doing is wearing my hair in a low bun loose from Wednesday to Thursday. And then Friday night I'm going to set my hair using, I'll probably remasterize my hair just a little bit because I don't want it to revert. And then I want to use a little bit of Shea Butter to set my hair in large twists for the event I'm going to Saturday night. All of these products meet the guidelines for flying and then I'll be packing everything in this little case here. All right y'all, I am done blowing out my hair. Girl. Now I use a comb attachment. Oh God. How had your kids, how had your wife and Vivian's hair? Used a comb attachment and it took me, it didn't take me that long at all. Especially when you use a comb attachment, it took me 30 minutes. I don't think that's bad at all, 30 minutes. So this is what the back looks like, very fluffy. Now I used a hobo oil and a little bit of grape seed oil as my heat protected and what else, what else, what else, trying to thank y'all. I missed it with the keratin for each section, keratin, excuse me, the Alpha G Reconstructor Spray. Okay, that is the bomb.com and I've always used it to help blow out my hair. So now, I don't even know what the hell you're going to do now. Clearly, I need to put it away, did check the weather forecast and it is light chance of rain in Dallas and in Longview for a couple of days. So the first thing I want to do right now is apply a little bit of Proclaims Glossom Polish. Now I did go ahead and pack a little bit of this. Now this, like when I tell you a little bit, just a little bit because if you use too much, it will make your hair greasy. And for all of my hair, I'm going to show you how little I'm going to use. That was probably 25 cents. That's all I'm going to use. That's probably was too much, but I know my hair will soak it up. Going all over, all up top and then the ends. Really want to pay close attention to my ends. Okay, getting that back there. That is to help reduce frizz. Now what I'm going to do is a really quick, I'm going to take some hair, push this back because I need to put it away. I need to put it away. So I'm going to do a flat twist, jumbo flat twist going across here. And I'm not the best flat twister per se. And the same thing on the other side, okay? I really want to, I know you have to get how are you going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you. All right. Okay. So if I wanted to, one day I could wear it out, this is not cute, but all I'm going to do at this point is gather all my hair, gather her back, and this is for me. If you want to do styles, absolutely go right ahead. But for me personally, because of the amount of hair I have, I don't want to. And now all I'm going to do is push her up like this and then take another goodie band to make it a little bit more, you know, vacation flair. I like to sometimes add scarves to my, so this is just, you know, taking the Uber to the airport. I do what I got to do and literally all I have to do, we're flying out in the morning and all I'm going to do for nighttime, I'm going to take off the scarf, but I have this, I'll just place on and just tie it up and go to bed and that's it. Now one thing I do want to mention is that I have, I mean I'll be traveling with this scarf, but then I have this cute little just simple basic black that I can tie around. Excuse me, perhaps I could do a high pompadour, so you guys will see what I do. It won't just be this boring, you know, but you'll see, you'll see. Anyway, I did a large flat twist in the back, a low bond and a scarf. So how are you liking it so far, JV? How are you liking it so far, JV? And a couple of hours later, we landed in Dallas. As you can see, it is very cloudy, so yes, it did rain and it rained a lot, especially in East Texas. There was really one day where it did not rain the entire five days of our trip, so I knew what to do. I just kept my hair up. We ended up stopping by Walgreens. I got a bunch of bobby pins and I wore my hair and some great updoos, which you're going to see up next. And the only time I wore my hair down was when we went to the actual banquet for my high school reunion. My hair still looks cute. Very cute. Very cute. All right, y'all. This is technically my second hairstyle while we're here, very, very prompt and impromptu. I just took down my hair and just did six large twists and pinned them up in random areas. I don't know what the back looks like. I can kind of turn around. I can't see it, so I'm hoping it looks okay. Yeah, so this is the hairstyle and I'm going to go ahead. We're going to go out to dinner right now. All right. So now we are leaving Dallas headed towards Longview. I believe this is Kilgore, but look at the clouds above. Yes, it rained the entire time. It was humid. I did not chance it, but I had to end up retwisting my hair the night before the banquet. I just unraveled and this is what it looked like. I did not separate and within an hour my hair had puffed out, but it was great for the hour we were there. I need to put in half of it up. I will be showing more of this in my blog. This is the dress I wore. It was very, very pretty, you guys. Very pretty. Again, not this style I wanted, but I had to work with what I had, okay? Twisted, moisturized, now I'm going to do some type of updo. So this is the beautiful updo I just did, however, I'm going to have to take my hair down because I just remembered that too many bobby pins was set off the, sorry, all the toilet, it was set off the security. We go through the screening and I'll set it off. I don't need to be sitting there taking out 15, 20 bobby pins, trying to figure out where it's at in all this hair. So can't really be that cute when you're traveling, girl, but no, it's just things you have to think about. So I'm going to take out all the bobby pins and just do something else. All right. I was able to do this with a low bun with just two bobby pins. And now the only thing I'm going to do is put a headscarf on, very cute, huh?
