Q
What are the best products to pack for a holiday?
A
A complete mini routine includes a tailored shampoo, conditioner or mask, and a protective oil or serum. Choosing a travel hair routine for your hair type helps cleanse, treat, and shield hair from environmental stress like sun, salt, and humidity.
Q
How do I keep my hair hydrated on flights?
A
Cabin air is very dry and can dehydrate the hair. Before boarding, apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner or serum to seal in moisture and reduce frizz throughout the journey.
Q
How often should I wash my hair when travelling?
A
That depends on your destination and activity level. In humid climates or after swimming, wash more frequently using gentle formulas. For dry climates, focus on hydration and use leave-in treatments between washes.
Q
How can I prevent frizz in humid destinations?
A
Use an anti-frizz serum before styling. Lightweight, humidity-resistant products help seal the cuticle and maintain smoothness without weighing the hair down.
Q
How can I protect my hair from sun exposure while travelling?
A
Before going outside, apply a lightweight protective oil with UV-filtering ingredients to shield against damage. Cover your hair with a hat or scarf during peak sun hours, and follow up in the evening with a hydrating mask to restore moisture and shine.
EXPERT ADVICE
Hair doesn’t take a holiday. Whether you’re in the mountains or by the sea, consistency in your products keeps your strands at their best.
If you’re flying, apply a hydrating leave-in spray or oil before boarding. Cabin air is extremely dry, and that extra layer helps prevent frizz and dehydration.
Saltwater and chlorine can strip natural oils and weaken the cuticle. Rinse with fresh water immediately after swimming and apply a nourishing mask to restore moisture.
If your destination is known for hard water, consider packing a scalp scrub treatment. Mineral deposits can cause dryness, buildup, and dullness on the hair and scalp.
