If you’re planning on getting your swim on or at least getting your hair wet while on vacation, then you might want to consider cornrows. Cornrows are low maintenance, and unlike box braids, they don’t take as long to dry, nor are they heavy when they get wet, making it easy to transition from the pool to the streets without much hassle.

Box braids will forever be the wave for black women on the go. In addition to being a perfect protective style, they can be easily styled into up-dos and buns, and they look just as nice hanging loose. Box braids are the epitome of a true get up and go style, and the fact that they’re low maintenance will no doubt free up your time to explore and have fun.

If you have a little time to spare between sightseeing, then a good ole’ twist out can deliver phenomenal results. Twist outs are also dope because they’re versatile and look nice on a variety of textures from kinky hair to curly hair and everything in between. Also, if maintained at night, twist outs make for a perfect get up, untwist, fluff, and go style. Word of wisdom: sometimes twist outs don’t work in our favor due to climate, humidity levels, and other random stuff. If you’re not familiar with a twist out, practice ahead of your twist, so you have an idea of the results beforehand.
With these 10 go-to travel styles, you’re sure to slay any destination! Now enjoy the moments and new experiences.
