I know, I know: everyone’s always going on about their beauty rituals, and it can be a little much. But hear me out: a good routine has been shown to reduce stress, and if you bring it with you when you travel, it’ll ground you no matter where you are.
I don’t wear much makeup, but I do have a haircare ritual with Prose products (plus a few extras) that keeps my hair looking its best everywhere I do. ✨
Here’s what’s working for me — and because Prose is completely customizable, I bet it’ll work for you too:
1. Prose Custom Shampoo & Conditioner
This is the heart and soul of my haircare rhythm. Based on your answers to their introductory questionnaire, Prose will hook you up with the exact right customized shampoo and conditioner for your hair’s needs. It almost seems too easy, but easy is good!
With Prose, you can count on clean ingredients and products that are always paraben-free, phthalate-free, cruelty-free, and leave out sulfates, mineral oils, and GMOs. You even have the option to personalize for specific sensitivities, such as silicones, fragrance, or vegan ingredients. 🐰
"I'm in love with the Prose scalp treatment and shampoo... The Prose products are working where so many have failed! I can't recommend this enough to my friends and family." - Moon M. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
2. Shower cap
My vacay days are filled to the brim, and more time spent washing, drying, and styling my hair means less time out in the world. Since I started washing with Prose, my second-day hair remains amazing—I don’t know how they do it but I’m amped about it. So, go equipped to cover up those locks while you rinse off for the adventures ahead. ✈️
3. Prose Dry Shampoo
Speaking of second-day hair, if being in a new environment takes your hair by surprise and it turns out you do need a spruce-up, Prose has you covered there, too. Their translucent powder leans on tapioca powder and witch hazel extract to simultaneously buffer and nourish hair that’s absorbed some oils and needs a refresh before your next wash. And, of course, the contents of your Prose dry shampoo will be customized to your needs, like always.
4. Scalp sunscreen
Not me getting my clean hair all greasy spraying regular sunscreen on my scalp. No, really: not me anyway! Scalp sunscreen adds a protective layer to that sensitive skin on your head and protects your hair from UV rays without oils nor aerosol to weigh your strands down.
5. Spa headband & wrist washband
Have you perfected the art of the midday face wash yet? Soft, stretchy, gentle microfiber spa headbands cradle that hair back out of your face while you cleanse and rinse—a true dream! And my new addition is wrist washbands, which are a similar concept but their job is to keep water from dripping down your arms and sleeves.
6. TSA-compliant liquid container
I know you think you can sweet talk your way through TSA with full-size shampoo bottles, but don’t risk it. Pump your personalized shampoo into mini bottles so you can maintain your travel chill knowing your precious hair products won’t live out their days in the airport trash bin. That would be upsetting.
7. Hair brush
I recently learned a new trick: brushing my hair thoroughly before hopping in the shower. Doing it this way means I can stimulate my hair follicles to encourage blood circulation and thoroughly detangle without worrying about what the final result will look like. Brushing helps distribute your hair’s natural oils, meaning you get a more even clean when you wash, too. After switching to this routine, my hair barely needs to be brushed after washing, which lets my natural texture to shine through.
P.S. if you don’t already have a brush you love, Prose offers three options, and guidance on choosing the right one for you!
"I haven't been using Prose for long, but what's great about these products is I didn't have to use them for weeks or months to see a change—it was obvious right away!" - Rebecca R. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
8. Claw clip
Catch me with a cute claw clip attached to the handle of every bag I own! Some situations just call for your hair out of the way. Others call for it to be dramatically dropped back down. The claw holds hair up gently, sparing you of the dreaded ridge that hair ties leave behind.
Go forth and have great hair—everywhere
My hair ritual really boils down to having perfect-for-me hair products and some accessories to balance it out. I love how straightforward it is, and I love that it can come with me as I trot the globe. All thanks goes to Prose!
