Traveling with natural hair can feel like a burden, especially if you love to pack light but are used to a ton of products. You want to keep your mane in tact but don't want to bring the creams, leave-ins, oil, edge control and other items with you. So what's a girl to do? 
It's been a great week here at Looking Fly on a Dime. On Monday, the crop top I styled for BuzzFeed was posted. And today, I'm sharing a few travel hacks I provided to oprah.com!!You guys know I'm the carry-on queen {see how I fit 7 outfits, 3 pairs of shoes and accessories in my travel packing hack video} so oprah.com asked me to share additional hacks I live by and there's one in particular I wanted to elaborate on. I've started doing this nifty trick over the past few months and it's saved me tons of time and space in my carry-on bag! I'm sure it will help you as well, especially if you overpack. 
Packing a carry-on bag is a skill. Seriously, it's a major skill to pack several outfits for several occasions in a single bag that can fit in the overhead compartment on a plane.Though I consider myself the queen of carry-on, I know others who look at packing as a major challenge. And that's why I teamed up with ESSENCE Live {Essence magazine's weekly online show} to demonstrate exactly how to master the carry-on life. 
Yesterday was the official start of summer so travel season is in full swing. And I'm definitely in travel mode, as I'm trying to plan a birthday trip next month. Even though I haven't booked anything yet, I'm already thinking about what to pack. Yeah, I'm that person! And I do this because it saves a ton of time and even money {I don't believe in checking bags}.But, I've noticed most people pack unnecessary items that just take up space and weigh their bag down. So here's what not to pack for your next vacation.
