The Summer Hair Tips to Take with You Everywhere
During the summer months, everyone likes to travel lighter. And whether you’re strictly a carry-on person or live by your checked bag, there are new ways to travel this season without sacrificing any of life’s little necessities — like your style. From easy-breezy hairstyles to travel-sized hair products we’ve got the must-haves to put on your packing list.

- Buns. Whether you’re running to the gate, driving with the top down, just out of the pool, or heading to dinner, a slicked bun is one of those iconic hairstyles that can be worn in transit or to an event. To get the look all you need is a tried-and-true leave-in conditioner coupled with a touch of hairspray. If your hair is feeling parched, prep strands with UN.TANGLED and then slick it back with the help of HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY to lock it into place, add shine and protect against flyways.
- Beach Waves. Is there anything more iconic than beach waves when you’re on holiday? To recreate the look, give your strands a good wash and then rely on HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY to scrunch your waves into place. Doubling as a finishing spray, we love bringing this style setter everywhere we go.
- Natural Texture. There’s just something about holiday hair that looks so much better when you wear your natural texture. Not only can you cut down on the time spent primping, but rocking your natural texture goes hand in hand with how effortless you feel. Be sure to pack KILLER.CURLS WASH and RINSE + KILLER.TWIRLS to nourish natural texture and treat your curls to a refined air dry with ease.
Styling Tips — Check, Check
- Masques Can Double as “Stylers.” While they will need to be rinsed out eventually, MASQUES are a great product to bring with you whenever you travel. Slather them on before jumping in the pool to protect your colour or leave them on and your hair in a low bun to treat your strands while you dine.
- Leave the Pillow, Pack the Pillowcase. In an effort to take less, you can leave the travel pillow at home, but just don’t forget to pack your silk pillowcase. A pillowcase packs down flat and can help elongate your style between wash days.
- You Can Create Nearly Any Style with Bobby Pins & a Hair Tie. Hot tools aside, there are times when you need to revamp your hairstyle in a hot second. For times like these, we suggest stashing bobby pins and a variety of hair ties in your makeup bag. From fixing your part to wearing protective styles, creating the perfect bun, or simply tying your hair up for activities, these are must-haves for any adventurer.
Travel-Sized Hair Heroes — Check, Check, Check
- Multi-Tasking Favourites. When you pack, always pack with purpose. If you’re debating which of your favourite hair products to bring, always let the ones that have more than one purpose tag along. Take SCALP.SPA SCRUB for example — not only can it create a luxurious scalp treatment for your holiday stay, but it also doubles as a body scrub to help remove all that pesky sun cream and sand. Worried about your colour? BLONDE.ANGEL will help counteract warmth while also acting as a luxurious treatment to add moisture and deep condition when you need it most.
- Yes, You Need Your Own Shampoo + Conditioner. As a hair enthusiast, you should never rely on the products that may (or may not) be at the hotel. Instead, take fate into your own hands and bring travel sizes of your favourites. With even more mini’s to choose from, travelling with your must-haves just got that much easier. Check out all our travel sizes here.
- Never Forget Hairspray. If there’s one thing we’ve learned it's that vacation is the one place you will always need hairspray. With the ability to take a pint-sized version of ANTI.GRAVITY.SPRAY or HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY with you wherever you go, you’ll never have to worry about the frizz or flyways.
