Jet Setting Strands: How To Care For Your Hair When Travelling

July 12, 2024

It’s that time of year again! Where we pack our bags and head off on vacay, whether it’s a whirlwind tour of Europe or just relaxing lakeside with pals. Whatever trip you’ve got planned, there’s no excuse to let that hair routine go out the window. Here are some travel hacks to keep your strands lush and healthy.

Prep Before Bon Voyage

Get hair in extra-good condition before you head off. This means a trim at the hairdresser’s to snip off split ends, and plenty of hydration. You’re probably going to put your hair through the ringer a little with all those summer swims and sunny days, so getting it strong and nourished before you head off will help minimise damage.

Invest In a Great Hat

Not only will you be protecting your skin from the sun’s rays, but you’ll also be protecting your scalp and strands. Yep, UV can affect them, too – causing dryness, damage, and colour fade.

Make A Few Switches

If you’re headed off on a summer beach-fest, consider switching shampoo/conditioner to something hydrating - it’ll combat the dryness caused by salt water and the sun. Gonna be super active? Pick a deep-cleansing product to get rid of sebum buildup, and take a dry shampoo for between-wash days.

In A Routine? Pack Minis

Thought you couldn’t take your whole hair routine with you on a plane? Think again. BondiBoost has some of the best minis ever, meaning you can continue your hair journey while travelling. Here are some of the team’s faves.
