How to Keep Hair Looking Great While Travelling

Whether you are heading south this winter or have a schedule full of business trips, you know the impact travel can have on your hair. Here are a few quick tips to keep your hair looking its best while you travel and throughout your trip:

Website WebMD recommends that you travel with a natural boar bristle brush to tend to hair without generating static. (Often a problem in the dry environment of an airplane.) You can also travel with a scarf or trendy hat to cover hair in case your style doesn’t survive the trip.

Wondering what to pack? Include a travel size shampoo, conditioner and only your essential styling aids. If you have room, a dry shampoo is always a good idea to reduce excess oil in hair, whether en route or at your destination. A small assortment of hair clips, elastics, and hair bands are handy for creating a pulled-together look even if you are overtired or stressed from travelling. And check with your hotel before you pack your hair dryer. Chances are there is one in the room that will work quite nicely for you.

Try to plan your hairstyles ahead of time so you know which hair accessories and tools you’ll need to pack. Quick, simple styles are often best when you’re on vacation or travelling for business. With simple styles, you may even be able to leave the curling iron or flat iron at home!

And remember that sun, saltwater, and chlorine from the hotel pool can cause a lot of damage to hair. When packing, try to find room for a leave-in conditioner. To minimize chlorine damage, rinse your hair with tap water before and after swimming. And remember a broad-brimmed sun hat to protect hair from the sun’s rays.
