Your Girl's Trip Awaits!
When you get the travel bug there’s only one way you see things going down. It’s time to hit up the group chat and decide on dates and a location for the next girl’s trip!
There’s nothing better than fun with the girls when it comes to discovering a new city or even lounging on a familiar beach. Putting together looks, losing yourselves in laughs, and attempting a healthy mix of doing it for the gram and “you better not post that” will be on the daily agenda.
Staying camera ready and living like you’re in a movie will take a little planning. There’s no leaving your hair to chance, so consider a style that’ll allow you to skip wash day on a short trip, or to keep your natural hair covered under something protective. Moisture will be your other best friend, so you can’t forget our carry on friendly Body and Hair Balms.
YOUR PERFECT VACATION: Cuba
A lack of imports & something in the saltwater air have meant preservation of beautiful classic cars from the 1930s-1950s, an instagram ready aesthetic memorabilia but also a vehicle (in the most literal sense) for escape. Guided tours exist to allow travelers to experience what usually falls into the hands of the locals through inheritance.
Experience Cuba’s thoroughly modern art scene at Fabrica Del Arte Cubano, an interdisciplinary art space in a reclaimed cooking oil factory. The building was transformed in 2014 by X Alfonso, a “Cuban rocker” and now hosts screenings, visual exhibitions, and a dance floor filled with party goers like the tourists who know to look beyond Old Havana to cities like Vedado where Fabrica Del Arte Cubano is located. Accommodations can be made through rental portals such as AirBnB for less than $100 USD, ensuring your trip to Cuba can come with all the luxuries you need but won't break the bank.
Old Havana is a must. Whether you’re enjoying the cobblestone streets, sun & open air cafes, or welcoming the evening with a drink (try the canchancharas and mojitos, Cubans invented rum after all!) you’ll feel like you went to both another time & place.
YOUR GO TO HAIRSTYLE:
Gorgeous goddess locs or an intentional assortment of wigs, (a capsule collection if you will!) are the perfect ways to go.
You’ll make a statement regardless, and both decisions are relatively low maintenance.
Packing is the most important part! A silk scarf will protect both styles and can also be styled to match the island vibes. Celebrity wig stylist Cliff Vmir, who creates pieces for a client list containing names like Cardi B., recommends rolling your wig the way you might roll your luggage, putting a hair net around it, and then putting it into a silk bag to avoid tangles.
