Bring-Less, Look-Better Travel Tips

When I’m traveling, I aim to carry my luggage on board the plane. I was not always like this (just ask my beauty editor friend Didi who, for years, counted on me to pack the entire contents of my bathroom vanity when we went on press trips, enabling her to bring like a toothbrush and then borrow the rest). But, after losing my luggage too many times, and nearly missing flights because I was waiting in miles-long lines to check my bag, I finally learned how to minimize my beauty gear. My secret? Primp in advance; here's my strategy:

I know women who are proud of how long they can go between shampoos (four days, ten days, two weeks). They consider this a good thing because they’ve been told by experts that scaling back on sudsing keeps color from fading as quickly, cuts down on daily-blowdrying damage, and helps hair stay better hydrated because scalp oils don't get stripped daily. This is not wrong, BUT there is a big downside to this practice.

After the birth of my son, Heath, in my early thirties, gobs of my hair fell out; only some of it grew back. Thus, a year into motherhood, I became a client of Liz Cunnane, a trichologist (that's a U.K.-trained hair ‘doctor’) at the Philip Kingsley Trichology Clinic in New York City.

I have naturally wavy hair and choose to wear it that way most of the time, especially now that I live in Ann Arbor where a DryBar has yet to open. (Totally unsubtle hint, Alli Webb.). However, achieving beachy waves is trickier as you become older and hair becomes dryer and more fuzz-prone—a reality for anyone who colors, blow-dries, flat-irons or is in the throes of peri, post or full-blown menopause. So basically, all of us.

Tinted sprays or gels are adept at temporarily camouflaging incoming greys. But when your roots are darker than the rest of your hair, regrowth is trickier to conceal. For a blonde, applying temporary gold color to dark roots is like using a yellow crayon to color on a brown piece of paper. Futile.
