For many of us, we have our hair routine down when we’re at home. On vacation, it’s a different story—the lack of access to a blow dryer or straighteners, the change in water, and the increased heat and humidity can play havoc with our hair. However, going away doesn’t have to mean a succession of bad hair days. With some support from some key haircare items, you can protect your locks and maximize your styling to achieve healthy, shiny hair day in, and day out.
Silk Scrunchie
When it comes to taking care of hair, silk is seriously important. It’s less abrasive than cotton or other materials and will slip over your hair without causing frizz. When you’re on vacation, you may want to consider sleeping with your hair in a ‘pineapple’ (essentially a high ponytail) to protect it from frizz and maximize your volume.
Silk Scarf
That’s right, another silk item to protect your hair! If you’re concerned about your hair getting dehydrated on the flight, or bleached out by the sun and sea, try wrapping it in a chic silk scarf to protect it. This will limit damaging UV rays, reduce frizz, and allow you to go slightly longer than usual without washing it—helping you to properly relax on vacation.
Claw Clip
Is there any hair problem a claw clip can’t improve? Use this to put your hair up in a hurry, protect it from salt water if you’re taking a dip in the sea, or stop it from getting drenched when you take a shower. Lightweight and relatively small, you can pack a few of these in your toiletries bag without losing too much valuable space.
