Travel tip: fohawk without gel

So, you're traveling and didn't bring any sort of hair products due to travel restrictions, but you absolutely need a fohawk or some other styled hair? Well, I've got your back. All you need is a hotel sized bottle of shampoo! If you're in a hotel, you're all set. If not, bring one along. An airplane approved size bottle of shampoo is much easier to come by than one of hair gel. I know you are thinking, shampoo? Really? As hair gel? Yes.

Step 1: Shower and wash your hair. While the option of not washing your hair and styling it using the fact that it is greasy may be tempting while traveling, showering is always the best option. Clean hair is winning hair.

Step 2: Dry your hair but make sure it is still a little damp, about the amount you would dry it to if you were going to put gel or another product in it.

Step 3: Style your hair roughly to the shape you want it before putting anything in it so that you will not have to move it around much once you have the shampoo on your fingers.

Step 4: Pour out some shampoo on to the tips of your fingers. Make sure to NOT rub your fingers or hands together BECAUSE SHAMPOO BECOMES SOAPY AND FOAMY WHICH IS NOT GOOD IN YOUR HAIR. You will look like you have gray soapy hair, and that isn't a good look on anyone other than shampoo models in a steamy shower.

Step 5: Carefully and slowly run your fingers into your pre-styled hair. Make sure to not attack one area too much or it will become foamy. I recommend sort of patting your hair on the sides and lightly stroking up the fohawk.

Warnings: Using too much shampoo will result in a soapy head. Moving your shampoo'd fingers around your hair too much will result in a soapy head.

If done correctly, the shampoo will in fact hold your hairstyle and will not be too stiff which can be irritating with many gels.

And there you go! Wishing you safe, happy hair travels!
