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.

Why This Updo Works Mid-Flight

• Comfortable for leaning or napping (no pokey pins or pulling)

• No tight tension or breakage from elastics or twisties

• Easy to redo in the airport bathroom (no mirror needed)

• Looks elegant in real life and in photos

• Protects hair from friction during travel (especially when paired with a Silkie Pillowcase in your carry-on)

Airport Style That Doesn’t Quit

Don’t let turbulence—or time zones—ruin your hair day. This updo travels well, looks good, and treats your strands with the care they deserve. All you need is a Silkie clip and scrunchie—and two minutes of calm before takeoff.
