Whoever said that traveling is good for the soul knew exactly what they were talking about. There is nothing better than a well-timed vacay to rest your mind and body after long work weeks that left you drained. And while traveling is the recipe for happiness, does your hair share in the enthusiasm? The sun, dirt, life-sucking humidity, and salty water from that pool you can't wait to get in could all be the downfall of your hair story for your upcoming vacay. We don't want you to fall victim. So, that is why we have put together the best three tips to keep you slaying all vacay long.

 

Hair Accessories Save

Do you go on vacation to relax or to explore? Now we get that some people do indeed want to relax, but there are times that exploration is calling. When it does call, let your hair be prepared. Headbands, scarfs, wraps, clips, and hair ties are all a saving grace in your time of need. From the plane to the destination, you never know when a hair emergency will strike, and you'll wish you had that stray bobby pin, elastic, etc., that you found underneath those "save for later" Cheetos.

 

Dry Shampoo: The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Traveling leaves little room for self sometimes. You can get up early and come back late, and sure that's ok for you, but can your hair handle it? You might not think it's a big deal, but the more time you're outside, the dirtier your hair will get. And when there isn't time for a full wash and blow-dry, the next best thing is dry shampoo. It works to soak up dirt and oil so that your hair can live to see another day.

 

Salt Water May Ruin You

Picture this: you're lying by the pool where the sun is beaming on your skin, and the cares of the world have long drifted away. After a little time, you decide to get into the pool, and that is the moment your hair says goodbye.

 

Make sure that you protect your hair from both salt and chlorine by taking precautions ahead of time. Combine a little conditioner with water in a spray bottle and give a few heavy sprites before taking a swim.

 

If you have any pre-traveling questions, we're here for you and ready to help.
