We Need A Thread For Frequent Travelers!

[InJesusName]

I have been trying to pinpoint where the breakdown in my hair groeth process started. I think it happened when I took a new job in March that has me in the air or out of town at least 10 nights a month. That's when I stopped the daily protein shakes, daily co washing, etc.

I am preparing to "get back on the wagon" in 08 and seriously need to reincorporate these things back into my regimen. Though I thought it was a little "over the top", there may be something to doing all this.

Here's my issue...I HATE checking bags, and since my travels are usually no more than two nights, I can carry on. What do you guys suggest as for transporting all my berries and juices?

There are sellers on ebay that sell bulk containers. You can find 2 and 3 oz containers and refill them as needed.

I bet you can get a dozen or so on ebay really cheap.

Most of my fav products just are not sold in travel sizes so that's what I have to do if i want to carry them on.

I feel you, I travel all the time and I went to the BSS and got those small clear, empty containers, mine were five for $3 or something, it's easy and they work.

She may be able to buy small containers for a dollar or so at WallMart

I was having this same exact dilemma as I was trying to pack last night; trying to figure out the best way to transport what I needed and not have them kick anything back and then I'd be stuck like chuck without my hair stuff.

I was at CVS a few weeks ago rambling through a clearance bin of hair accessories and among all the stuff, they had these little hard plastic bottles for .33 each. I didn't know at the time what the heck I would do with them, but I got 6 of them. (even though they were only .33 each, I was hoping i didn't just make a useless purchase and have the bottles sitting around collecting dust) As I was packing last night, I saw them and was happy I got them. (especially after I measured to see how much it held and found that it holds EXACTLY 3 ounces!!)

I have seen small bottles at the dollar store and I am sure that with the TSA regulations, you have some manufacturers capitalizing on it and making bottles in 3 oz. sizes specifically and selling them really inexpensively since the travel industry is big anyway. (they're banking on mass consumption)

Check out your dollar stores though....Good luck in hopping back on the wagon!!

ITW w/ the other other ladies. The travel containers are very easy to come by and you have to do what you have to do to get your desired results.

Okay maybe you don't need a dozen, but in case you were interested:

Good luck w/trying to get any liquids on the plane.

I had to fight w/TSA just for them to allow me to bring bottled water on. I needed it for my baby's formula. It took like 4 different people to ok it...frustrating even though their website say it's okay for baby formula. However, the funny part was when they wanted my baby to remove his jacket...like a 3 month old is packing
