Holiday Haircare
There’s nothing like the feeling of packing your bags, switching on your out-of-office, and heading off on holiday. Whether you’re off to a sunny beach, a city break, or a wellness retreat in the countryside, holidays are all about switching off and indulging in some well-deserved self-care. But while you’re treating yourself to rest and relaxation, your hair can sometimes pay the price.
Sun, sea, chlorine, and changes in climate can all take a toll on your hair. So if you want to return home with holiday memories and healthy, happy hair, a little extra care goes a long way.
Here’s your go-to guide for looking after your hair while on holiday and keeping it looking its best, wherever you’re off to.
Start with a Solid Haircare Base
Before you even step on the plane, make sure your hair is in good condition. In the lead-up to your trip, use a deeply nourishing hair oil like the ByErim Hair & Beard Oil to lock in moisture, strengthen your strands, and protect against environmental damage. Apply a few drops to your scalp and ends a few times a week before washing, or use it as a leave-in for added shine and hydration
Protect Your Hair from the Sun
Just like your skin, your hair can suffer from too much sun exposure. UV rays can dry out your strands, fade your colour, and leave your scalp feeling sensitive. Try to wear a hat or silk scarf when you’re out and about during the day, especially in direct sunlight.
You can also smooth a light layer of the ByErim Oil over your hair before heading out it acts as a protective barrier while keeping your hair looking sleek and frizz-free.
Chlorine and Saltwater: Handle with Care
Pools and oceans are a holiday must, but they’re not always kind to your hair. Chlorine can strip natural oils and make your hair feel dry and brittle, while saltwater can leave it tangled and rough.
Here’s a little trick, before you dive in, rinse your hair with clean water. Wet hair absorbs less chlorine or salt than dry hair does. After swimming, rinse again and follow up with a nourishing oil or conditioning treatment to replenish any lost moisture.
Pack Smart: Travel-Sized Essentials
Don’t rely on hotel shampoo and conditioner; they're often drying and packed with sulphates. Instead, bring your own trusted products in travel-sized bottles. If you’re using ByErim, decant a bit of the ByErim Oil into a small glass dropper bottle and pack it in your hand luggage. It'll come in handy for mid-flight hydration too.
Bonus tip: a wide-tooth comb and a silk or vegan silk hair wrap can be game-changers when it comes to preventing tangles and keeping your hair smooth while you sleep.
Style Lightly, Care Deeply
Holidays are for going with the flow so ditch the heavy heat styling and embrace your natural texture. Use nourishing products to keep your hair healthy, and opt for simple styles like loose braids, buns, or protective updos to minimise breakage and tangling.
On the days when you do want a more polished look, prep your hair with a lightweight oil to protect it from heat and keep it glossy.
Your holiday should be about feeling good from head to toe and your hair deserves a little TLC too. With just a few small adjustments and the right products, you can enjoy every moment away without compromising your hair’s health.
The key? Hydration, protection, and consistency.
Don’t forget to pack your ByErim essentials especially the multi-tasking Hair & Beard Oil. It’s lightweight, 100% naturally derived, and perfect for holiday haircare on the go. Wherever you’re headed, your hair will thank you.
