I used to think “pack light” and “pack my Fysin Hair Bob wig” could never live in the same sentence. That changed on a last-minute work trip to Lisbon—carry-on only, 7 kg limit, and a client dinner the night I landed. One wrong move and my 189 Brazilian Remy bob would look like a tumbleweed.

 

Spoiler: it didn’t. After 22 hours of planes, trains, and a hostel dryer that sounded like a tractor, my Fysin Bob slipped out of my backpack smoother than when it went in. Below is the exact routine, stress-tested so you can copy-paste it for every future getaway.

 

 

Section 1 – The Night-Before Prep (3 Minutes, Zero Tools)

 

1.1 Detangle with Purpose

 

I sprayed two pumps of Fysin Leave-In Silk Mist (pH 4.5, heat-protectant built in) and worked through the 12-inch strands with the wide-tooth side of the Fysin Loop Brush. Start at the tips; hold the root to avoid tension. This step alone cuts post-flight frizz by 70 %.

 

1.2 Set the Memory

 

Next, I wrapped the hair around three fingers to create a loose roll. Holding the roll, I blasted it with cool air from my Dyson for 15 seconds. This “memory sets” the cuticle so the bob keeps its natural under-curl even after compression.

 

1.3 Elastic Triangulation

 

I secured the roll with three snag-free elastics—one at the nape, one mid-shaft, one 2 cm from the ends—forming a soft “U” shape. No tight bands; we’re preventing kinks, not creating them.

 

 

Section 2 – The Sock-Bun Method (60 Seconds)

 

2.1 Flip the Cap Inside-Out

 

Turn the lace front inside-out. This protects the delicate Swiss lace from friction against zippers or shampoo bottles.

 

2.2 Create the Fist

 

Starting at the ends, roll the hair sushi-style toward the nape until it forms a tight cylinder the size of—literally—my fist.

 

2.3 Slide into a Cotton Sock

 

Use a clean, neutral-colored crew sock. Slide the rolled wig in toe-first, then cuff the sock opening over itself twice. The cotton layer absorbs excess moisture and stops static that causes fairy-knots.

 

Pro Tip: If you’re extra paranoid, slip the sock into an empty sunglasses hard-case. Drop-tested from 1.5 m—no dent to the cap.

 

 

Section 3 – Arrival & 30-Second Revival

 

3.1 Unroll and Shake

 

Hold the sock by the cuff, invert, and let gravity drop the wig out. One gentle shake restores 85 % of the style.

 

3.2 Steam, Don’t Heat

 

Hang the bob on the Fysin Foldable Silicone Stand (fits into a Kindle pocket). Ten minutes in a steamy bathroom equals a 300 °F flat-iron session—minus heat damage.

 

3.3 Finger-Style

 

Run fingers, not a brush, through the bottom two inches to separate any minor clumps. The bob’s pre-plucked hairline and 150 % density mean no weird part gaps.

 

 

Section 4 – Real-World Results

 

I documented the entire journey on my GoPro.

 

• Hour 0: Rolled in Amsterdam Airport.

 

• Hour 14: Survived overhead-bin Tetris.

 

• Day 3: Lisbon tram selfie—zero flyaways.

 

• Day 7: Home again, washed once, air-dried, ready for client Zoom.

 

Side-by-side macro shots showed the cuticle layer still sealed, no split ends. The 100 % Remy hair used in Fysin’s Bob collection is dyed through a 6-step osmosis bath, so color fade is minimal even after salt-water mist.

 

 

Section 5 – Quick FAQ (Schema-Markup Ready)

 

Q1: Can I vacuum-seal my bob wig?

 

A: No. Long-term compression flattens the lace and can cause permanent creases. Sock-bun + hard case is safer.

 

Q2: Will the sock leave lint on jet-black hair?

 

A: The Fysin method uses a lint-free cotton sock pre-washed with vinegar. Zero fuzz, promise.

 

Q3: I have a 14-inch wavy bob—does this still work?

 

A: Yes. The extra 2 inches just needs one more elastic. Same rolling motion.
