Sommaire
Summer’s coming and so are your holidays. Whether it’s a weekend by the sea, a mountain getaway or an urban adventure, your textured, wavy, curly and coily hair deserves all your attention to keep it looking beautiful all summer long.
To help you travel light without sacrificing the health and beauty of your hair, here are a few essential tips and tricks to include in your travel kit.
The minimalist routine
Even on holiday, a simple, targeted hair routine is all you need to keep your curls healthy and defined. Pack your kit with three essential products to keep your hair shiny and full of life.
- Cleanse: a mild shampoo or cleansing base to remove salt, sand or chlorine.
- Hydrate: a light leave-in treatment to hydrate, maintain suppleness and shine.
- Define: a drop of styling gel or cream to set and define curls.

Hair tips for travel mishaps and forgotten essentials
When traveling, it’s not uncommon for some essentials to be missing. Luckily, there are simple solutions to keep your wavy, curly and coily hair looking beautiful, even without special tools.
Without a diffuser
Here are 2 options if you can’t take your diffuser with you:
- For a natural look, air-dry your hair – ideal in hot climates.
For wavy and curly hair lacking volume, remember to scrunch your lengths or lightly shake the roots from time to time.
For frizzy and coily hair, avoid touching your curls while drying to limit shrinkage (the natural shrinking of lengths as they dry) and help maintain better definition.
- Use a hairdryer set on the lowest speed, and blow-dry without touching your hair.
For wavy and curly hair, while drying, remember to scrunch your hair with your hands to encourage definition.
For frizzy and coily hair, avoid touching your curls while drying.
No styling products
Forgot something? Here are 2 easy and effective options:
- Transform your conditioner, or that of your hotel or temporary rental, into an express leave-in: mix your conditioner with water in a spray bottle. Adjust the solution according to the thickness of your hair, adding more product if you have thick hair.
No spray bottle on hand? Use a simple glass of water, with a ratio of 1/3 conditioner and 2/3 water. For thick hair, you can opt for half product, half water. - Use pure aloe vera gel, easily found in pharmacies, which hydrates and defines your curls without weighing them down. Depending on the effect you’re looking for, you can either define your curls, tie them up for a bun or control frizz. The thicker your hair, the more you’ll need to apply. Don’t forget to apply it to damp hair to avoid white residue.
Without a microfibre towel
Use a simple cotton T-shirt to replace your usual towel, which gently absorbs water.
