“I am passionate about creating a product that helps women reclaim their time and make everyday a great hair day. Infusing great colors and prints into hair products, for her day and nightly hair routine, that extends the life of her hairstyle between wash days.”
-Alisha Michelle
Summer is slowly coming to an end but we still got those end of the summer trips planned and frankly vacations are all year long. No matter your travel plans, whether a biz trip, a staycation, a baecation, a family vacay or a girl’s trip (I think I got them all covered) your number one travel accessory is your favorite NPTressTreats scarf. Why take a bonnet, pillowcase, headrest cover, when you can take one magical accessory, NPTressTreats scarf.
I know you're probably thinking, “no sweetie, I need my tooth brush”. Yes, of course, you need a toothbrush, deodorant, etc but you can buy those items from your local sundries store. What you can't buy is your favorite NPTressTreats scarf. (insert link to nptt scarf page)
Tie your scarf on your bag and go
Your scarf is going to be your most used trip accessory. Start by adding your scarf to the handle of your purse or travel tote bag. It’s a total functional fashion piece. You can take your scarf from your purse to cover your car headrest, the airplane headrest, the train headrest, you get it. Sure you can take a headrest cover but who wants to pack all of those unnecessary items. Pack smarter. (YouTube Tutorial)
Just because you’re not in your own bed doesn't mean you should slack on your healthy hair and skin routine. Covering your cotton pillow with your NPTressTreats scarf will help avoid dry skin, prevent facial creases, fine lines and wrinkles, plus reduce frizz and prevent breakage, knots and tangles. Let’s not have dry skin on vacay. (YouTube Tutorial)
Go from purse to pool
Take your scarf off your bag and wrap your hair, your waist (or boobies) to wear as a cover up.
Wrap your hair to protect your hair and scalp from the sun. Using a scarf to protect your tresses is an ideal way to provide your hair with protection and some much-needed shade from hot temperatures. If you’re planning on spending some quality time near the pool or on the beach, try adding a head scarf to cover all of your strands and boost the SPF your hair receives.
How to tie your scarf: Fold your headscarf to create a triangle shape on top of your hair. Take the triangular-shaped scarf and rest on top of your style/hairline starting from the roots. Next, tie a large bow or knot at the nape of your neck. This technique ensures that both the mid-lengths and roots of your hair are effectively protected and shielded from the sun. Want to keep your hair out of the sun completely? Tie it up so that it stays covered beneath your headscarf.
A scarf covers your head and protects your hair and scalp from the sun. You should consider covering your head even during cloudy days as the UV rays can still cause sunburn, and damage your scalp.
SIGNS OF SUN-DAMAGED HAIR
To protect the scalp from the sun, you need to recognize the early signs of sun damage. Though these signs and symptoms might vary from person to person, the most common ones are:
• Frizzy, brittle, and thin hair
• Hair strands becoming weaker and easily breakable
• Loss of shine and reflection
• Loss of pigment
• Hair appears more dry and rough as it loses moisture
• Split ends
A few more tips:
Your scarf is easy to clean, so you can wash while on vacay and hang to dry. It takes about 15 minutes to air dry
If it gets chilly, wear your scarf around your shoulders as a light shawl
