I have to say that I am all about hydrating internally while flying but never thought about the external hydration. I pretty much resign myself to looking like a hag upon arrival .

Do those hydrating mists really work? I have a couple of travel size sample bottles that would meet TSA minimums. I tend to stockpile samples and gifts with purchase so that I have them for when I travel. I never thought of blotting papers, I tend to just dust a little mineral veil over my nose to keep the shine down.

The real issue is my hair, which tends towards getting matted and medusa like by the time I deplane. Any suggestions for keeping long, wavy hair in check while flying (aside from the ubiquitous pony tail)?
