BACK

Summer is officially in session—and with it comes spontaneous road trips, tropical escapes, and poolside lounging under golden rays. Whether you're boarding a flight, packing up for a weekend getaway, or booking a staycation, one thing's for sure: your hair needs to be ready for wherever your summer takes you.

At Yummy Extensions, we know that great hair is a form of self-care. But on vacation, low-maintenance doesn’t mean low-impact. It means choosing textures and extension types that work with your plans—not against them. This Self-Care Sunday, we’re serving your ultimate vacation hair extensions checklist so you can stay flawless from wheels up to beach down. 

Let’s talk packing, prep, and protecting your crown the luxury way.


Your Vacation-Ready Extensions Checklist

1. Choose Your Core Vacation Textures

When it comes to summer travel, not all hair extensions are created equal. You want something that:

  • Can handle humidity and water exposure
  • Blends well with minimal styling
  • Offers longevity without constant touch-ups

Here are the best Yummy textures to pack in your suitcase:

Raw Burma Curly Hair Extensions

Looking for vacation hair extensions that can handle heat, humidity, and endless activities? Look no further than Raw Burma Curly Hair Extensions. Known for their juicy, defined curls and pillow-soft bounce, this texture delivers effortless glam with minimal styling.

Whether you're lounging at a resort or dancing at an outdoor beach party, these curls won’t flatten or frizz with a little care. The curl pattern ranges from 3B to 3C, giving you full-bodied coils that can be worn defined or brushed out for a more voluminous, boho-inspired look.

What makes Burma Curly perfect for your summer escape:

  • Wet-and-go approved: Just apply water + conditioner mix, scrunch with a bit of curl cream, and go. The curls revert beautifully without needing a full wash.
  • Humidity-friendly: Unlike some textures that frizz or lose shape in tropical climates, Burma Curly thrives in moisture-rich air, giving you that fresh out of the ocean look all day.
  • Color-friendly: Want to add highlights or warm tones before your trip? These bundles lift and take color well, giving you the freedom to customize.
  • Available in multiple forms: Choose from weft hair extensions, HD lace closures, or lace frontals to complete your protective style and ensure your install lasts the entire vacation and beyond.

It’s no wonder Raw Burma Curly is one of our most sought-after curly hair extensions—it’s low-maintenance, high-impact, and the ultimate style solution for curly summer slayage.

Boho Deep Wavy/Curls Bulk Braiding Hair

Boho braids have become one of the season’s hottest trends, and it’s not hard to see why. These relaxed, boho-chic styles feature soft curls or waves peeking out of knotless braids, delivering a carefree, goddess-like aesthetic.

Yummy’s Boho Deep Wavy/Curls Bulk Braiding Hair is our latest launch—an elevated take on traditional bulk curly hair, created for women who want their protective style to look and feel as luxurious as it is practical.

Here’s why this new braiding hair is your vacation BFF:

  • Crafted from premium human hair: Unlike synthetic braiding hair that can feel stiff or tangle easily, our Boho Deep Wavy/Curls hair is soft, lightweight, and breathable. That means less scalp tension, better airflow, and all-day comfort—even in hot weather.
  • Color variety for versatility: Available in five sun-kissed shades—#1B (natural black), #4 (chocolate brown), #27 (honey blonde), #30 (copper), and #33 (deep auburn)—this collection allows for rich, multi-dimensional looks or playful color combos.
  • Designed for easy blending: Whether you're wearing natural hair or relaxed hair underneath, this texture mimics your real curl pattern, creating a seamless, natural-looking result.
  • Perfect for long-term wear: Boho braids can last several weeks, making them ideal for vacations where you don’t want to think about restyling every morning. Just tie them down at night, and you’re good to go.

The upgraded curl pattern is slightly looser and more manageable than traditional raw curly bulk hair, allowing for defined curls that won’t easily tangle. It's an exceptional choice for protective styles for summer, especially if you want a break from heat styling and leave-out.

Perfect styles to create: Boho braids, goddess braids, knotless braids, Fulani braids, braided ponytails, and even faux locs. This is the ultimate blend of vacation beauty and protective power.

2. Don't Forget Lace: Closures & Frontals

Leave-out can be tricky when you're swimming or sweating. That’s where lace frontals and closures come in. They:

  • Keep your natural hair protected from sun and chlorine
  • Give you a polished, blended hairline
  • Work with sew-ins, wigs, or glueless installs

Our HD lace closures and frontals are breathable, secure, and create a natural-looking finish that holds up through long days and late nights.

Tip: For vacation, we recommend going glueless if possible. It allows you to remove and reapply your unit when needed—and it’s way more convenient if you're moving from beach to dinner in under 30 minutes.

3. The Must-Pack Hair Tools & Products

Packing your extensions is one thing—but keeping them looking luxe while away from home? That takes planning. Here’s your official Yummy travel essentials checklist:

Recommended Tools:

  • Wide-tooth comb or detangling brush (Yummy Wavy Brush for wavy textures)
  • Spray bottle with water + leave-in conditioner
  • Edge control + edge brush
  • Heat protectant spray (if you’re using hot tools)
  • Satin scarf/bonnet for bedtime protection
  • Travel-size shampoo & conditioner (sulfate-free)

4. Clip-In Hair Extensions: Your Vacation Glam in Minutes

If you're heading out for a quick dinner or just want an effortless style while on vacation, Yummy Extensions Clip-In Hair Extensions are a must-pack. Lightweight, reusable, and easy to install, clip-ins let you switch up your look in minutes—no salon visit required.

Crafted from 100% raw human hair, our clip-ins are available in a variety of natural-looking textures, including:

Whether you want volume for a high ponytail, a fuller half-up style, or a quick transformation for photos, these clip-in extensions for summer give you flexibility without the fuss. Just clip in and go—no heat, no stress.

5. Prep Before You Jet

Self-care starts before the plane takes off. Here's what to do before traveling with your Yummy Extensions:

  • Get a fresh install at least 2–3 days before your trip. This gives you time to test styling and adjust anything uncomfortable.
  • Clarify and deep condition your extensions before installing them. This ensures they're clean and hydrated.
  • Pack your backup hair. Two wigs and one set of clip-ins is ideal for a week-long trip. It gives you options and keeps your daily styling time short.
  • Color hair in advance. If you're customizing your look, allow enough time for color to settle before installing.

6. Nighttime Maintenance = Daytime Confidence

No matter the texture or style, your nighttime routine is key to preserving your extensions. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Wrap or pineapple your curls at night with a satin scarf or bonnet.
  • Sleep on a satin pillowcase if you skip the bonnet—vacation nights can get wild! 
  • Rehydrate in the morning with water and leave-in conditioner mix.

7. Bonus Tips: Blending Leave-Out on Vacation

If you're rocking a leave-out install, blend like a pro without heat damage: 

  • Braid or twist your natural hair at night using the same curl pattern as your extensions.
  • Try bantu knots or flexi rods to mimic your wavy or curly texture.
  • Use mousse + setting foam for better curl memory and less frizz.

This keeps your hair healthy and helps it blend beautifully with your Raw Wavy or Curly Extensions. 

Jet-Set, But Make It Yummy

From airport runs to candlelit dinners on the beach, your vacation looks should come with zero stress and maximum slay. With Yummy Extensions’ luxurious, raw human hair, you're always just a few steps away from a flawless, carefree look that lasts.

Whether you’re rocking boho braids, clip-in curls, or a full frontal install, don’t just pack—plan. Make hair part of your vacation self-care and you’ll glow all season long.
