Haircare Travel Essentials
Haircare is very much like dieting when you’re traveling. You want to be mindful of it, but really, you just let it all go. You want to make the most of every minute of your getaway—and that means not spending two hours fussing over your hair. But when it comes to summer vacation, the sun, saltwater, humidity, and unfamiliar changes in temperature can all play a role in making your hair behave unpredictably. And let’s face it, those complimentary bottles of shampoo in the hotel room don’t quite cut it. So, what can you do, other than braiding your hair or hiding it under a hat every day? Having the right haircare travel products is essential. I’ve got everything you need to rescue your locks from any climate challenge you may face on your next trip.
