Packing for a Trip? Don't Forget These Travel Hair Kit Must-Haves
We all have a wishlist of destinations we want to travel to, be it scenic mountaintops, sandy beaches, or exciting cities. While we instinctively pack items like sunscreen,
weather-appropriate clothes, and insect repellents to protect the body while on holiday, we tend to forget all about hair care, exposing our mane to all kinds of environmental damage. Sun exposure, moisture, dust, and intense heat or cold can all act as irritants for your hair. Add hard or chlorinated water to the mix and your hair may end up looking limp and lifeless in all your holiday photos.
We have curated the perfect list of travel hair care essentials so that you can travel stress-free.
Your Ultimate Hair Care Kit
A travel hair care kit should contain items that are essential for maintaining healthy and manageable hair while on the go. Here are some must-haves:
- Comb

No hair kit is complete without a comb, so make sure to pack a compact and travel-friendly one. Plastic combs increase the chances of static, which makes hair frizzy. So a wood comb is a better choice for your kit.
Secret’s Neem Wood Comb detangles your hair and keeps it smooth and frizz-free. The antifungal nature of neem ensures that the scalp remains healthy. The Neem Wood Comb is an eco-friendly option and your ally in ensuring good hair days everywhere you go.

Hair oil can be incredibly beneficial for maintaining healthy and nourished hair while travelling. Use it to protect your strands from sudden changes in climate, exposure to sun and wind, and harsh hotel shampoos that may not be suitable for your hair type.
We recommend Blue Lilly Hair Oil for deep hydration, nourishment, and protection. Applying hair oil can be a relaxing and therapeutic experience, helping you unwind after a long day outdoors. Available in a travel-friendly 100ml pack, it will easily fit in your travel kit.

The first step to maintaining your hair health is cleansing. A clean and healthy scalp can withstand the changes that come with travelling. To ensure your scalp is taken care of during this time, it is important you carry a shampoo that suits your hair type.
Based on your hair concerns, you can choose the Hibiscus Shampoo or the Aloe Vera Shampoo. The Aloe Vera Shampoo eliminates excess oil from the scalp and reduces dandruff and hair loss. It is gentle on your scalp and leaves it feeling calm after a wash.

The main culprit behind frizz is a lack of moisture in the hair. This causes dry strands to absorb moisture from the air, contributing to frizzy flyaways. When travelling, having a hair mask in your kit can be a great way to keep your hair moisturised and healthy, especially if you're going to be in the sun, snow, or chlorine-filled pools. Hair masks are power packed with the nourishment that your hair needs to combat these environmental factors.

Other important tips to keep in mind when travelling:
- Carry scarves, hats, and satin hair ties to avoid direct exposure to the sun if you’re going to hot locations.
- Stay hydrated – what you consume directly affects your hair.
- Always rinse off your hair if you cannot shower immediately after swimming in pools or sea water. This helps prevent frizz and damage caused by chemicals and salt.
- Avoid washing your hair daily. Too much cleansing can strip off essential oils from your scalp.
