Grab your favorite one piece swimsuit and pack a few of these must-have luxuries on your next beach vacation!

5. Beach Hair Must-Have: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray

Traveling can be rough — long plane rides can flatten your hair and dry it out, giving you mussled, bed-head hair that is unflattering. Fix it up with Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray, a cousin to dry shampoo that you can take in your handbag for quick touch-ups. 

Turn unkempt, flat hair into voluminous, tousled locks with texture in just a few sprays. The spray gives your hair a lightweight feel and a shine that will make you look polished and ready for the day. Take it with you so you can create natural beach waves in your hair while sunbathing in your swim dress.
