Protect and Care for Your Hair on Holiday

Pro Tips for Caring for Beautiful Hair on Holiday

We all love holidays — a time to relax, explore and enjoy plenty of time outdoors. The downside? All that sunshine, swimming and heat styling can take a serious toll on your hair, leaving it dry, damaged and difficult to manage. No matter where you're heading this summer, here are three simple ways to keep your hair looking and feeling its best while you're away.

And if your locks need a little extra TLC before or after a trip, we're always happy to help! Book a luxury hair treatment today by calling Lloyds Hair in Clonmel on +353 52 612 5996, or book online now. 

Start Your Hair Care at Home

The real trick to beautiful hair on holiday is to start preparing before you even pack your bags. Book a trim to remove split ends, and consider a deep conditioning treatment to strengthen and hydrate your locks. If you're planning on colouring or lightening your hair before your trip, give yourself at least a week for your scalp and strands to recover — and don’t forget to pack sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner! Ask our experts for product recommendations tailored to your hair type and colour treatment during your next visit.

Pro Tip: Pack a wide-tooth comb and a leave-in conditioner to help gently detangle your hair after a day of swimming.

Keep UV Rays at Bay

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the the sun too! Wear a wide-brimmed hat or silk scarf during long days outdoors, and rinse your strands with fresh water before and after swimming to reduce salt or chlorine absorption. If you're spending time in the pool, consider using a protective serum or a swimming cap to keep your hair healthy and manageable.

Pro Tip: Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil before swimming — this helps to create a barrier that reduces salt or chlorine damage.

Say Goodbye to Frizz

Warm weather and frequent washing can leave your hair dry, frizzy and prone to breakage. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and follow up with a hydrating mask every few days. Stick to low-maintenance styles like braids, buns or ponytails that protect your ends and require less heat. If you do use styling tools, keep them on low heat settings to minimise damage, and don't forget to apply heat protection.

Top tip: Pack a silk scarf and wrap this around your hair at night to reduce frizz and breakage while you rest.
