Packing light is not just an option nowadays. It’s a necessity. Proper sanitisation and hygiene measures paired that with the need of making every shot insta-worthy makes styling your hair quite a task. Well, we answer all your hair queries and bring you a host of hairstyles, quick fixes and products to upgrade your travel hair kit. Be the talk of the town with your shiny mane this season, that too on the go.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

1. It’s common knowledge that a weather check is always mandatory before you travel not just for packing clothes but also when it comes to hair and skin. A quick hair prep based on the weather (humid or cold) keeps your hair safe and prevents those strands from falling off.

2. Additionally, treatments involving heat or chemicals are best snubbed before you take off since these treatments may leave the hair brittle and prolonged exposure to the sun may do lasting damage to your hair.

3. If you’ve been eyeing a particular haircut then it’s best to end up on the stylists’ chair at least seven days in advance so that your mane gets some time to grow into the new style.

WHY DO I PREP MY HAIR?

Probably the most important parts of all, prepping your hair before you go jet setting saves you the chance of goofing up and ruining those precious moments of your trip. Your prep routine largely depends on the type of hair you have.
