Creating cute short hair styles on the road can be a bit of a challenge, especially without all your styling equipment. In fact, this is why I let my short chin length hair grow for a year before my RTW trip. It was impossible to style my hair without products and a flat iron and I was hoping my natural curls would settle with a longer length. I wish I had Vanessa’s curly hair style tips at the time!

Easy Hair Styles for Short Hair


Unlike me, many girls chop of their long hair to simplify their beauty routine on the road or even save money on beauty products like the minimalist traveler, Deanne Ballard. However, short hair can be difficult to style when you’re traveling because some choppy cuts require even more maintenance than long hair.

 

In response to the many travel fashion girls with lovely shorter dos, here are some Simple and Cute Short Hair Styles for Travel

Elegant Up Do

 

Whether for a special occasion or for those travel moments when you just want to feel like a “lady”, up dos with twists and braids look both elegant and don’t require special tools to create. I love this quick twist which also works well with thin, long hair like mine.

Add a little fun with these pins!

Even though the below tutorial instructs you to use a curling iron, many girls can make use of their natural waves to create this look without any tools.

 

If you do travel with your hair tools, make sure that they are dual voltage and that you pack a travel adapter!

Braids

 

Braids are a great solution to unruly, frizzy travel hair. They give you some style and sophistication and are also a practical way to keep your hair pulled back. What’s best is when you remove your braids; you’ll have luscious curls for a whole new look!
