I just have to say that you ladies are very smart

I don't use a travel pillow but I'm sure the fabric of the seat back isn't doing my hair any favors. I never even thought of that! Possibly wrap my hair in a silk scarf.
I like to use paper masks too, but save the pricey stuff for home use. For travel I like the $1 paper masks sold in Korean/Japanese department stores in the beauty aisle. There are several types and I just pick the moisturizing ones. Sometimes they are sold in packs of 10 or more and you save a few cents.
There are a few individual pharmacies in NY and NJ that have these Korean products as well.
Actually this is an excellent idea and I wonder if my local H Mart would have anything? I also have several Asian markets near where I grew up, I'm sure they'd be worth a look. I'm already planning to go looking for a konjac sponge.
