That's why I always pack a travel-size shampoo specially formulated to give your hair an extra boost of moisture. The Nexxus Therappe Luxurious Moisturizing Shampoo Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner come in TSA-approved sizes, but there's enough product to get you through a long trip. The combo will keep your hair soft, shiny and healthy, wherever your travels take you.
