How to Protect Your Hair on Vacation: 6 Tips to Prevent Damage and Frizz

Beach waves look great, but they can dry out and damage your hair. With a few simple vacation tips, you can keep your hair healthy and beautiful.

Here are our top tips for protecting your hair on vacation. You'll learn how to prepare your hair before your trip, how to protect it while traveling, and much more.

1) Invest in a good shampoo and conditioner

Investing in a sulfate-free nourishing shampoo and conditioner is the first step in hair care.

Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner can help minimize hair damage while on vacation.

Sulfate-free products don't dry out your hair as much, so your hair will be hydrated and healthy even before you travel.

2) Apply an oil-based serum to your hair before swimming

Swimming in the pool? To help lock in your hair’s natural moisture, we recommend applying our oil serum to your hair before getting in—it will protect your hair from moisture loss.

It also helps reduce damage caused by chlorine, which dries out the hair, making it very tangled, which in turn leads to further damage and breakage.

We love our oil serum! It's perfect for protecting your hair from harmful chlorine and sea salt while on vacation.

3) Pamper your hair after a day at the beach

Spending the whole day at the beach is one of the many joys of vacation. However, strong UV rays and salt water can take a toll on your hair.

That's why it's important to take care of your hair even after a day at the beach. A hair mask or oil serum are ideal products for vacation hair care.

Our moisturizing and nourishing hair mask is rich in moisture-retaining ingredients and proteins, so it gives dry hair the care it deserves.

4) Use heat protection

Using heat protection on your hair is a must in hot weather. It protects your hair from heat, helps reduce frizz, and adds shine.

Our oil serum is light enough to layer throughout the day as needed without weighing your hair down. It contains heat protection, so you can enjoy shiny, healthy curls while protecting them at the same time.

5) Protect your scalp from the sun

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. The scalp is particularly vulnerable to sun damage, so applying sunscreen to your hairline and part—if you have one—is absolutely essential for protection against excessive sun exposure.

6) Wear a hat

In addition to the steps mentioned above, one of the best ways to make sure you’re protecting your hair while on vacation is to wear a hat.

The head is particularly vulnerable to sun damage because it is most exposed to the sun’s rays. Wearing a hat protects both your hair and scalp from the sun’s rays and reduces the risk of sunburn along the hairline.
