Wigs are perfect for creating gorgeous locks, but knowing how to tidy up your wig can be tricky. This article collates tips and tricks on how to travel with a wig, which can help us feel comfortable traveling with a wig, so keep reading on!
You can wear a wig when you go to travel, someone people may worry about whether to take off their wigs at airport security. The answer is no! TSA screeners don't have to ask you to remove your wig. Just like your clothes, their scanner should be able to see through your wig.
However, it is important to note that you should avoid wearing too many metal fake bobby pins or bobby pins, which may trigger sensors or arouse suspicion. If you must be asked to take off your wig, you can ask for a private room. The TSA needs to approve this request so that you have a private room where you can take off your wig without feeling pressured.
If you're going through airport security wearing a wig, style it in a simple and unpretentious way, avoiding complicated hairstyles and updos, and keeping it simple and understatement, which could make TSA agents look suspicious. Avoid metal clips in the wig, as this may set off metal detectors.
Arrive early. TSA agents may ask you to remove your wig. This may take more time than you originally expected, so be sure to arrive early!
Tossing a wig into a suitcase without thinking about it can leave your wig frizzy and damaged. The best way to pack your wig is to carefully flip the wig over, then place it in a silk bag and stuff it into a suitcase. This will help prevent it from getting tangled up in buttons, zippers, and other hazards in the case.
If you do have enough room to put the wig on a wig rack or styling head and put it in a carrying case, this will help your wig most to maintain its shape and style.
Wide-tooth brush: Remember to gently brush the wig after each use and before placing it on the rack.
Portable wig holder handy: Upon arrival at your hotel, remove your wig from your suitcase and place it on a portable wig rack. This will keep your wig in shape throughout the holiday season when not in use and will not wrinkle or tangle.
Wig shampoo and conditioner: Your wig may get wet or dirty during travel, so it's best to wash it. It's best to carry separate wig shampoo and conditioner bottles, which are more friendly to your wig.
A silk scarf or silk pillowcase: Remember to pack a silk scarf or pillowcase in your luggage. It can help protect and keep your wig hydrated while you sleep on the plane or at night. Also, you can put it on on windy days or when you are doing any physical activity, which will prove very useful.
A wig net: A great tool for packing wigs while traveling, a wig net can help your wig keep its shape in your suitcase, or when you're wearing it on a long flight.
Curlers/straighteners: Bringing these heating tools will help you easily design your wig before you head out.
These tools will change depending on the length of your trip. For short trips, you'll need at least hairspray and bobby pins, and, depending on the wig, perhaps a wide-toothed comb. For longer trips, you may need to pack shampoo and conditioner.
At the end of the day, you'll also need a place to put your wig. In many cases, you simply place the wig in a silk bag you carry with you. However, if you are staying in one place for a long time, you may want to carry a wig holder with you. That way, you don't run the risk of damaging your wig by constantly putting it in and taking it out of the bag. It will also make it quicker to put on.
