6: Micro-Braided Accent
Add interest to your pixie or short bob with a thin braid along one side.
This small detail elevates your look without requiring major styling time in airport bathrooms.
Secure the end with a clear elastic for a detail that stays put through your entire journey.
The tiny braid adds visual interest to your style while keeping hair secured—ideal for travelers who hate constantly tucking hair behind their ears.
7: Slicked-Back Wet Look
Embrace the sleek wet look for a worry-free travel style. Apply styling gel to damp hair and comb everything straight back from your forehead for instant sophistication.
This humidity-resistant style handles cabin pressure changes beautifully without concern about frizz or flattening.
Pack a small travel-sized gel to refresh your look before landing if you’re on a particularly long flight.
8: Textured Bob with Invisible Pins
Dry shampoo at the roots adds volume to your bob, and sea salt spray creates texture throughout.
This combination gives you touchable volume that lasts through long flights.
Strategically place clear or hair-colored pins to secure any face-framing sections that might annoy you during travel.
The invisible pins keep your style secure without sacrificing the effortless, tousled appearance—perfect for looking naturally put-together while traveling.
9: Mini Space Buns
Part short hair down the middle and create two small buns at the top of your head for a playful, comfortable travel style. This works surprisingly well even with chin-length bobs.
Secure each bun with spin pins rather than elastics to prevent headrest discomfort during long flights.
This fun style keeps hair completely off your face and neck while making a fashion statement in transit—perfect for vacation travel.
10: Vintage-Inspired Pin Curls
Apply setting lotion to damp, short hair, then create tiny pin curls all over your head the night before travel. Remove pins in the morning for defined waves that last through your journey.
This set-it-and-forget-it style actually improves with time, looking better as the day progresses.
The lasting curl pattern means you’ll arrive at your destination with shaped, styled hair—no airport bathroom touch-ups required.
11: Micro French Braids
Create two or three tiny French braids starting at your temples and working backward for a secure, stylish travel look. This technique works with hair as short as a long pixie.
The small braids keep annoying face-framing pieces contained while adding visual interest to your travel style.
This detail-oriented look appears much more time-consuming than it actually is, but it makes you look effortlessly put-together throughout your journey.
12: Bandana Wrap
Transform your short cut with a colorful bandana for instant travel style. Fold the bandana into a band, wrap around your head, and tie at the nape of your neck or top of your head.
This accessory-based style requires zero heat tools and keeps all hair completely secured during turbulence and naps.
Pack several bandana colors to coordinate with different travel outfits while maintaining the same comfortable, secure hairstyle throughout your trip.
13: Twisted Waterfall Crown
Create a beautiful crown effect by twisting small sections from each side of your face and securing them at the back of your head. This elegant style works even with shoulder-length bobs.
The twisted sections keep hair off your face while the rest maintains its natural movement—ideal for comfort without sacrificing style.
