7 Hair Products Salon Stylists Take on Holiday

Want great hair on holiday? Our Salon Stylists share the best Conditioners, Haircare, Styling products and Hair Masks to keep their Hair Health and Heat Styling in top shape while they travel. 

The Best Conditioner for Travel: 

“If you only take one Haircare product with you when you travel, make sure it’s a Conditioner,” says Kate, Store Manager, North Lakes. “Not only do Conditioners offer big Hair Health benefits by hydrating holiday hair, but they also make great Styling Products in seconds.” 

“I love Nak Replends Creme Leave in Moisturiser as it’s made in Australia. The vegan blends detangle and reduce frizz on all hair types as soon as you comb it through, and the hydrating properties and UV protection give me the confidence it will care for my hair no matter how much sun I get!, After a swim I rinse hair and comb through the product as a Leave-In Conditioner, parting hair in the middle and securing into a sleek, low bun. Instantly, my holiday hair style is super-chic and super conditioned!” 

The Best Heat Styler for Travel: 

“I like to keep my holidays full of adventure, from hikes to sight-seeing and evenings out, so I need a Heat Styler that can pivot from Hair Curler to Hair Straightener fast, delivering the ultimate Holiday Hair 24/7,” says Olivia, Salon Stylist, Doncaster. “Cloud Nine The 2-In-1 Contouring Iron is ideal as the contoured shaped plates give me so many options for Hair Styling, from curls to spirals, waves, or simply smoothing frizz and flyaways on dry hair.” 

“The ceramic coated plates don’t compromise the condition of my hair either, or even if my hair is full of frizz after a day on the go, it makes styling easy on all Hair Types,” she adds. “But the real kicker for me is the heat-resistant bag which also makes it super travel-friendly. I am never without it!”    

The Best Travel Size Haircare: 

“My goal is to come home from holiday with no sunburn, fab memories, and healthy hair,” says Kaea, Salon Stylist, Werribee. “So, for me, packing conditioning Haircare - including Hair Treatments, Shampoo, and Conditioner - is just as important as a great hat and SPF.” 
 
“Travelling light is important so I need a Haircare trio that ticks all the boxes when it comes to hydration, Heat Protection, conditioning, fighting frizz and detangling, removing the need to overpack Haircare products! My go-to is The Hair Alchemy Collection Trio by Oribe which replenishes my hair as I enjoy my holiday. The trio includes Resilience Shampoo which builds strength from within, Fortifying Conditioner to add softness to hair, and Fortifying Treatment Serum for the ultimate in cuticle strength and fortification.” 

The Best Hair Mask for Travel: 

“A Hair Mask is the ultimate Hair SOS so I always pack an option that can revive damaged hair, prevent breakage, and hydrate my hair while I’m away,” says Debra, Salon Stylist, Bendigo. “The travel size O&M Original Mineral Power Base Protein Mask Mini is intensely conditioning and contains rice protein that rebuilds weakened hair.” 

“The travel size packaging is incredibly convenient to throw in my bag and I can finger-comb it through my shorter style hair to instantly restore damage from the heat and sun. It is intensely moisturising and instantly rebuilds weakened hair, helping it to appear fuller. Shea butter and Apricot Kernel Oil add extra conditioning properties and Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E bring the shine!” 

The Best Detangling Conditioner for Travel: 

“The last thing I want to worry about when holidaying is misbehaving hair, so I have learnt to always pack a travel-friendly detangling product to ensure I’m living my best travel life, rain, hail, or shine,” explains Maddy, Store Manager, Fountain Gate. “I am a huge fan of DAVROE Tame Detangler travel size Leave-In Conditioning Mist. It’s super-lightweight, so it is perfect to apply after Heat Styling or on days I’m not styling my hair, I can use it as a Leave-In Treatment to condition and hydrate and just pop on a hat. It’s made in Australia, Cruelty-free, and 100% Vegan friendly, which is a bonus.” 

“Formulated with extra gentle Haircare properties including Lemongrass and Jasmine extracts, it leaves my hair free of frizz and breakage, soft, manageable, and full of shine for the long haul.” 

The Best Dry Shampoo for Travel: 

“The last thing I want to worry about is washing my hair when I hit the road for a holiday, so a Dry Shampoo is always a must-have for me,” says Usha, Salon Stylist, Highpoint. “I’m a huge fan of EVO Water Killer Dry Shampoo as I only use products that are sulphate and paraben-free, and the fact it is made in Australia is another plus!” 

“This two-in-one Dry Shampoo gives me the confidence my hair won’t fall flat or become greasy in between washes, and I can still Heat Style without having to add volumising products to the mix. I know my holiday hair will remain lightweight, full, and shiny. The sublime mix of essential oils makes this one of my all-time favourite Haircare products on holiday - and at home!” 

The Best Salt Spray for Travel:   

“I like to give my hair some much needed time off by going back to basics during my break,” says Savannah, Store Manager, Rockhampton. “Conditioning, moisturising, detangling, and hydrating benefits are always a priority, whilst also ensuring my hair is easy to style and free of frizz and flyaways. So, rather than fight my natural kinks and waves, I embrace and nurture them with a Sea Salt Spray that conditions and hydrates curls and texture.” 

“Make Salty Spray is my go-to for getaways. Made in Australia, it is designed to nourish and enhance natural hair texture with a blend of 100% vegan ingredients plus Niacinamide and Panthenol which aid hydration and shine retention throughout my holiday!”
