The Airport-Proof Hair Updo Using Just Two Silkie Favorites
There’s airport chic, and then there’s airport smart—and nothing says both like a hairstyle that holds up through security lines, naps, and terminal-to-taxi transitions. The secret? A polished updo that stays put without pulling, frizzing, or giving you a tension headache. Even better: you only need two Silkie essentials to make it happen.
Travel Hair Shouldn’t Be a Struggle
Let’s be honest—travel can turn great hair into a flat, frizzy mess. Between dry cabin air, hoodie friction, and zero time for touch-ups, your style has to work for you, not the other way around.
And while many updos promise long-wear hold, most come at a cost: creases, breakage, or that tight, pulsing feeling at your crown. Not with this one.
✧ Meet Your Two Silkie Essentials
This effortless updo uses:
-
The Silkie Claw Clip – for a strong, slip-free hold that won’t crease or snag
-
The Silkie Mini or Medium Scrunchie – for a soft anchor that protects your strands and adds just enough tension
Together? They create a style that’s elegant, practical, and built to last the whole journey.
✧ Step-by-Step: Your Airport-Proof Updo
Here’s how to pull it off—literally—in under two minutes:
➤ Step 1: Start with a Low Pony
Use your Silkie Scrunchie to gently secure your hair at the nape of your neck. Keep it loose enough to avoid tension, but tight enough to anchor the base of your style.
Pro Tip: Use the Mini if your hair is fine or short; the Medium if you want more hold or volume.
➤ Step 2: Twist + Tuck
Take your ponytail, twist it upward, and tuck the ends down against your scalp. The result should be a compact roll sitting comfortably along the back of your head.
➤ Step 3: Clip to Secure
Grab your Silkie Claw Clip and fasten it over the twist, gripping both the roll and your scalp hair underneath. This creates a strong, zero-slip hold that stays in place—even if you lean back on a plane or train.
Optional: Pull a few strands loose at the front to frame your face. Bonus points for sunglasses on top.
