We know that taking a trip requires some planning and preparation, and the same is true for protecting your hair while you're on vacation.
Vacation hair and scalp care essentials will go a long way in keeping your tresses looking their best while you're away.
Read on for our best tips on keeping your hair and scalp healthy and beautiful while on vacation!
1. Protect Your Hair from the Sun
Too much sun exposure is not only harmful to the skin—hair also suffers from UV radiation. Use a cap, hat, or scarf to protect your tresses from overexposure.
2. Shield Hair from Chlorine and Salt Water
Saltwater and chlorine can make hair drier, brittle, and more prone to breakage. Try wearing a swim cap or rinsing your hair with fresh water before and after dipping into the pool or ocean.
Apply Goldie Locks® Signature Hair Serum to provide nourishment, hydration, and defense against environmental aggressors.
3. Maintain Hair Color and Prevent Fading
Color-safe shampoos and conditioners are a great option for protecting your hair from the vacation elements that can fade its color, shine, and sheen.
Use Goldie Locks® Signature Leave-In Conditioner to keep hair hydrated and prevent it fading or becoming dehydrated.
4. Optimal Hair Washing Practices
Avoid overwashing to prevent stripping your hair's natural oils. Using Goldie Locks® Dry Shampoo Powder to refresh between washes will instantly absorb excess oil and provide longer-lasting freshness.
When you do wash, use Goldie Locks® Signature Shampoo, to achieve irresistibly soft and healthy hair while maintaining moisture and preventing dryness.
5. Deep Conditioning and Moisture Treatments
Give your hair a boost of hydration with deep conditioning treatments. To restore moisture and repair damage, apply Goldie Locks® Signature Hair Mask once a week to keep your hair soft, nourished, and shiny after exposure to the sun, saltwater, or chlorine.
6. Prioritize Scalp Health
Maintaining a healthy scalp is key to strong, shiny hair. While on vacation, be sure to gently massage your scalp to promote circulation and use a soothing scalp treatment, such as Goldie Locks® Scalp Serum, to prevent dryness and irritation from sun exposure or saltwater.
7. Preventing Long-term Hair Damage
To prevent long-term hair damage while on vacation, opt for gentle hair care products like Goldie Locks® Smoothing Cream which is anti-frizz and rejuvenates hair with an anti-aging complex. It also protects against environmental stressors and UV damage.
8. Manage Stress to Maintain Hair Health
You’re on vacation, so it’s the perfect time to relax and unwind. Stress can weaken hair and contribute to hair loss. Practices like meditation, yoga, a scalp and body massage, or simply enjoying time in nature can help reduce stress and promote stronger, healthier hair.
9. Keep a healthy diet and keep hydrated
Drink plenty of water and eat nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and proteins. Proper hydration and nutrition support hair growth, prevent dryness, and keep your hair looking its best while on vacation.
