Posted by Doi, Isadora on 5th Jun 2025
Planning a trip soon? Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical beach or heading for a snowy mountain escape, your keratin-treated hair deserves just as much care as your travel plans. The good news? A little prep goes a long way toward keeping your hair smooth, shiny, and protected—no matter the destination.
Let’s dive into your ultimate vacation hair survival guide!
1. Sun, Salt & Chlorine: Know the Risks
Beach-bound? Amazing! But sun exposure, salty seawater, and chlorinated pools can all weaken the keratin coating and cause dryness or fading.
Pro tip: Always rinse your hair with fresh water before and after a swim, and wear a wide-brimmed hat when out in the sun. Think of it as SPF for your strands!
2. Don’t Forget the Essentials
Your hair deserves its own travel kit. Pack these must-haves:
-
Sulfate-free shampoo & conditioner: Gentle and keratin-friendly.
-
Leave-in conditioner or hydrating serum: To fight frizz and dryness.
-
UV protectant spray: Shields your hair from sun damage.
-
Silk or satin scrunchie: Reduces breakage and keeps your style looking fresh.

3. Adjust for the Climate
-
Hot & humid? Stick to lightweight serums and anti-frizz sprays. Avoid heavy oils that can weigh your hair down.
-
Cold & dry? Go for rich, nourishing masks and limit hot tool usage. Deep conditioning is your BFF in dry climates.
4. Less Styling, More Relaxing
Give your hair a break while you take one. Skip tight hairstyles, harsh elastics, and over-styling. Try heatless waves, a soft braid, or simply let your hair flow naturally.
And if you must style, don’t forget a good heat protectant to keep your keratin sealed in.
