How to Take Care of Your Hair While Travelling

At long last, the season of travel is upon us. You're probably already counting down the days, drafting your packing list ahead of that summer holiday, and haircare ought to be at the top of it.

You'll no doubt want to take a dip — maybe many — if your summer holiday involves a beach or a pool. Well, the salt of the sea and the chlorine in pool water can dry hair out, stripping it of the natural oils that help protect it and keep it looking its best. One way to protect hair from damage from swimming is to keep a leave-in conditioner like our SU Milk on hand. This hydrating hair milk comes in a travel size bottle perfect for the holidays. Just spritz your strands before going for a dip and rinse the product out afterward.If you have coloured hair, you might also be worried about the pool water damaging it. In addition to applying a leave-in conditioner before you swim, you should also wash with a colour-protecting shampoo after your pool dip. Our MINU shampoo formula made with nutritious caper blossom extract works great to improve colour, and it's available in travel size.

We've all made the mistake of packing a styling tool — or any electrical item — on a trip, only to find that it isn't compatible with the sockets in our destination. Only with the appropriate power plug adapter, a compact and affordable must-have you can pick up from any travel accessory retailer, will you be able to use the hot tools you brought from home abroad. Do your research, as it isn't always clear whether you'll need an adapter. For example, while all of North and Central America uses the same plug type, sockets in the UK and Ireland are different from those throughout the rest of Europe.

Let's say you wind up staying in the sun a little longer than you should have or taking one too many dips in the heavily chlorinated pool and wound up with an accidental tint. No fear! Our Davines hairstylists have you covered — and they're located all over the world.
