I love these ones because the silicone bottles are easy to squeeze and you can get every last drop of product you need! Of course they are refillable and perfect for packing shampoos, conditioners, styling creams, and gels.

Most airlines have a limit of 1L of liquids total in your carry-on, so we need to be strategic here; let’s get into the categories of products you will need to keep your hair tamed.
1. Cleansers: I usually bring multiple cleansers because I know I’ll be washing my hair frequently, but if youre sticking to one shampoo, pick an all purpose shampoo that is cleansing but won’t strip your hair. Fill this bottle to the top because you mustn’t forget to double cleanse! so that you’re not over-stripping your hair of its natural moisture.
Optional: I recommend bringing a color shampoo, such as purple shampoo for blonde hair to keep your color in check.

PRO-TIP: Mix the purple shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo so that the purple shampoo doesn’t dry out your hair.
2. Moving on to conditioners: I always bring multiple conditioners that cater to my hair needs. Bring a protein conditioner, a moisture conditioner, and a leave-in conditioner. If you don’t want to bring all three, a leave-in conditioner is an excellent two-in-one product and perfect for when you’re at the beach or pool.
