I don't have a hair survival kit, but when I travel, the things that I take w/ me are bobby pins, hair elastics (the ouchless anti-snap kind), spray bottle (to fill up w/ water in the hotel), Kemi-Oyl Shea Butter Pomade, and a small can of oil sheen. Those are the things I carry out of town most. Oh, and a wide tooth comb and plastic cap for the shower.
