I’ve been traveling to Hawaii for nine years now, the first seven of those years, my hair was an absolute mess. Oh, I’d spend the time carefully styling it with curls, but within five minutes of being outside in the breeze and humidity, my hair would look terrible. The curls evaporated. What previously looked like a smooth style quickly became an embarrassing, frizzy mess.
Finally, I found the right hair products that do a much better job at holding my style and preventing the frizz. I don’t travel to Hawaii without these products now:
All the the products mentioned are sold in containers holding less than 3oz, so you can carry them with your liquids through TSA. They can be purchased at Sephora.com, except for the Rusk hair wax. I’m sure Sephora would have a comparable hair wax product. By the way, as you probably already know, I don’t receive any compensation for recommending these products or retailers.
My hair frizzes in humidity, but your hair may have a different reaction. So, talk to your hairstylist for your strategies for having good hair days in Hawaii.
In addition to the styling products, I also recommend you bring:

I've got fine, frizzy, wavy hair and humidity does not do it any favors. But I never care about it when I'm in Hawaii because - hey, I'm in Hawaii! :)
janeray1940 - Hawaii is a great distraction from a bad hair day.
I kind of had honeymooners in mind when I was writing this one -- thinking that new brides would like to look nice for their groom and honeymoon photos.
Like I said, for 7 years, I visited Hawaii with a frizzy mess. My hair is too thick to comfortably wear in a ponytail and I really didn't have a way to hide the frizz in the evenings. These products keep my hair from frizzing, and I thought it would be useful to pass along the tips.
So these are the products you use to keep your hair looking great in Hawaii. They must be magic, because even after a day of open-top jeep driving, snorkeling, and laying in the sun, your hair always looks fabulous! :-)
Oh, Andy, you've definitely seen my beyond-bad-hair-days in Hawaii. :) I know you've noticed a huge difference since I started using these products in Hawaii.
I recently was offered a job in Hawaii. My biggest fear was the constant frizz I had experienced in my past visits. My hairdresser recommended Pravana Perfection treatment, wow..worked wonders and lasts for three months. I'm sure any keratin based treatment would work great.
Thanks, Terry, for sharing your hair tip.
