Preparing Your Hair for Travel: Essential Pre-Trip Tips

If you know a vacation is coming, why not treat your hair in advance to help maintain moisture and nourishment? We recommend using a conditioning treatment or mask leading up to your travels. A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your hair in top condition and will help your hair stay healthy during a long-haul flight.

Dry shampoo: Your Go-To Lifesaver on the Road

Finding time to wash your hair when travelling can be a challenge, especially if you're on the move. Dry shampoo is a lifesaver for keeping your hair looking clean and styled. It absorbs excess oil and adds volume without the need for water. This will help to refresh your hair on those days when washing is not an option!

Battling the Humidity: Frizz Control for Travelers

Humidity can make frizz a constant battle. We recommend using anti-humidity conditioners and leave-in treatments that create a barrier against moisture. Cold rinses at the end of your shower, using a microfibre towel, and switching to silk or satin pillowcases can also minimise frizz and keep your hair looking sleek.

Dealing with Hard Water: Tips for Healthier Hair

Along with humidity, hard water can also pose a challenge when travelling. Hard water is found in many places around the world and contains a high concentration of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. This buildup can leave your hair feeling dry, brittle, and rough in texture. To combat this, we recommend taking any of the following decalcifying hair products such as, shampoo, conditioner, and a conditioning mask. These products will help to restore moisture. A shower filter can also help remove irritants from the water, but the filter must be changed regularly for the best results.

Shielding Your Hair from the Sun: Travel-Friendly Protection

Just like your skin, your hair can suffer from sun damage. Many hair products now feature UV protection, but you should also consider wearing a hat when spending time outdoors to protect your hair further. We recommend using a shampoo and conditioner with added UV protection. You can also find some heat protectants that help protect your hair from the sun as well but are not the same as a UV protection product. Using both heat protectant and UV protection products can help protect hair from multiple types of damage.

Cold and Dry Climates: Hair Care Tips

Cold, dry climates can strip moisture from your hair, leaving it dull and lacklustre. To combat this, use hydrating shampoos and leave-in treatments that lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Avoid washing your hair too often, as it can strip away the natural oils, which can lead to dryness, breakage, and frizz. Cold temperatures, central heating, and dry air can lead to breakage and brittleness, so the less you wash your hair the healthier your hair will be.

Beach and Poolside Hair: How to Keep Your Hair Beach-Ready

If you're heading to the beach or pool, protecting your hair from chlorine and saltwater is essential as both can damage your hair in a number of ways. Both chlorine and seawater cause the hair cuticle to swell, making it more vulnerable to damage. They also strip your hair of natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Colour fading, dandruff, and scalp irritation can also occur due to chlorine and seawater. Combat these risks by wetting your hair with fresh water before swimming and applying a leave-in conditioner to create a protective barrier. Don’t forget to rinse your hair immediately after swimming to remove chlorine and salt, keeping your strands healthy and hydrated.
