They also maximise space, making it easier to pack more efficiently.

Portable fans, cooling towels, or facial mists can give you instant relief when the heat becomes too much. - Avoid Peak Heat Hours
Plan activities for early morning or late afternoon when the sun isn’t at its strongest. - Keep Your Hair Off Your Neck
Simple styles like buns or braids help reduce heat and keep you feeling more comfortable throughout the day.
