There is a definite challenge for Black women travelers who choose to wear their hair naturally. The natural hair movement came about partly because of the challenge of maintaining hairstyles that weren’t natural to Black women, such as wigs, extensions, and harmful chemicals. Traveling to different destinations exposes natural hair to environmental factors, such as humidity, dry air, or extreme temperatures. These changes can affect the natural Black hair’s moisture levels, causing it to become dry, frizzy, and more susceptible to breakage. When traveling, finding specific hair products, tools, or services tailored for natural Black hair care can also be challenging. It’s often harder to locate products that cater to natural hairstyles or find a local hairstylist experienced with natural Black hair. Then there is the additional fact that traveling often involves packing light, which means black travelers have to be practical in carrying all their preferred hair care products, tools, or accessories.
… I don’t see any hairstyle suggestions. Just what to keep in mind when making a decision.
Thanks, I didn’t make any. The best is what works individually. I like and have worn locs for years, but it’s not a style everyone cares for.
