The Airport-Proof Hair Updo Using Just Two Silkie Favorites
Early flight? Midday layover? Red-eye chaos? No matter your itinerary, your hair should never be the problem. This sleek, secure updo takes less than two minutes, survives naps and TSA lines, and only requires two travel-ready Silkie essentials. It’s the polished travel hack you’ll use on repeat.
Travel Hair = High Risk, High Frizz
Let’s be honest: airports are not kind to hair. The recycled air, stress sweat, neck pillows, and hours of sitting—all of it adds up to frizz, flatness, or that dreaded dent from tight elastics.
But a good updo can save you. One that’s stylish, easy to redo on the go, and most importantly—doesn’t cause damage. That’s where Silkie steps in.
The 2 Silkie Favorites That Make It Happen
✧ Silkie Claw Clip
Lightweight, strong, and designed to hold your hair without pulling or snapping strands. It grips comfortably, even after hours of travel. Bonus: it looks elevated enough to go from gate to dinner.
✧ Silkie Mini Scrunchie
Made from 100% Mulberry silk, it gently secures your hair without tension or creases. Perfect for anchoring the base of your updo or refreshing it mid-flight—crease-free.
How to Create the Airport-Proof Updo
Step 1: Create a Mid-Low Ponytail
Use your Silkie Mini Scrunchie to tie a loose ponytail at the base of your head. This keeps the style secure without putting pressure on your scalp.
Step 2: Twist and Coil
Take the ponytail, twist it gently, and coil it upward into a bun. If you have thicker or longer hair, keep the twist looser to avoid creating a bulky knot.
Step 3: Clip It with Silkie
Secure the coiled bun with your Silkie Claw Clip. Aim for the center to balance the weight, and adjust as needed for comfort.
Step 4: Fly (Literally)
You’re good to go! Your hair is off your neck, protected, and travel-proof—from check-in to baggage claim.
