How to Protect Your Hair on Holiday: 5 Essential Tips to Prevent Damage, Dryness, and Frizz

Holiday Fun Without the Hair Damage

Holidays are a time for relaxation, but the combination of sun, sea, and chlorine can wreak havoc on your hair. While those beachy waves might look great at the time, exposure to harsh UV rays, saltwater, and pool chemicals can leave your hair feeling dry, frizzy, and damaged.

Thankfully, with a few simple steps, you can protect your hair and keep it looking gorgeous throughout your holiday. From pre-holiday prep to post-swim care, here are the top 5 tips to prevent holiday hair disasters, with a special mention of how Suntied Beach Hair Rescue Spray can play a key role in keeping your locks healthy and hydrated.

Tip 1: Start with a Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner

Healthy hair begins with the right shampoo and conditioner. Before your holiday, switch to a sulphate-free, nourishing formula that won't strip your hair of its natural oils. Choosing products with natural ingredients will keep your hair hydrated and strong, preparing it for the harsh elements it might face during your vacation.

Why it Works: Sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners ensure your hair stays moisturised before exposure to the sun and saltwater. Natural ingredients like coconut oil, argan oil, or aloe vera provide deep hydration without weighing down your hair.
Extra Tip: If you have colour-treated hair, look for colour-safe products to prevent fading while you're in the sun. Pair them with Suntied Beach Hair Rescue Spray post-shower to lock in moisture and maintain that beachy shine.

Tip 2: Apply Hair Oil Before Swimming

Saltwater and chlorine can strip your hair of moisture, leaving it dry and tangled. To combat this, apply a protective layer of hair oil before you go swimming. Hair oil acts as a barrier, locking in hydration and protecting your hair from the drying effects of saltwater and chlorine.

Why it Works: Applying oil creates a shield that prevents moisture loss while swimming. This step reduces tangling and protects your hair from the harsh effects of pool chemicals and saltwater.
Extra Tip: Use a non-greasy, lightweight oil like Hairy Jayne Hair Oil before hitting the water. After your swim, spritz Suntied Beach Hair Rescue Spray onto damp hair to detangle and smooth out any knots, keeping your hair soft and manageable.

Tip 3: Treat Your Hair After a Day at the Beach

After a long day of sunbathing and swimming, your hair will need some TLC. Sun exposure and saltwater can leave your hair feeling dry and brittle, so it’s important to restore moisture as soon as possible. A deep conditioning mask or treatment oil is perfect for reviving your hair.

Why it Works: Post-beach treatments infuse your hair with moisture, helping to repair any damage caused by sun, salt, or wind. By treating your hair regularly, you’ll keep it soft and shiny throughout your holiday.
Extra Tip: For a quick fix after a beach day, use Suntied Beach Hair Rescue Spray to rehydrate and detangle your hair. Its lightweight formula will smooth your hair and restore moisture without weighing it down, making it the ideal post-beach remedy.

Tip 4: Use Heat Protection in Hot Weather

While the sun feels great on your skin, it can be damaging to your hair. High temperatures can dry out your strands, cause split ends, and lead to frizz. To protect your hair from the sun’s heat, always apply a heat protection spray before heading outdoors.

Why it Works: Heat protection spray creates a barrier that shields your hair from UV rays and high temperatures, preventing frizz and dryness. This keeps your hair looking sleek and healthy, even in hot weather.
Extra Tip: Reapply a lightweight heat protection spray throughout the day. Suntied Beach Hair Rescue Spray can serve as a refreshing mist that provides hydration and protects your hair from further sun damage.

Tip 5: Don’t Forget Sunscreen for Your Hairline and a Hat for Extra Protection

One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your hair and scalp from the sun is by wearing a hat. A wide-brimmed hat offers complete coverage, protecting your scalp and hair from UV rays. In addition, applying sunscreen to your hairline or any exposed scalp areas helps protect both your skin and hair from sunburn.

Why it Works: Hats provide physical protection from the sun’s harmful rays, reducing the risk of sunburn on your scalp and minimizing damage to your hair. Sunscreen applied to your hairline ensures delicate areas of your scalp are protected.
Extra Tip: Choose a hat made from breathable fabric to avoid scalp irritation. If you're spending long hours outdoors, keep your hair hydrated and protected by misting Suntied Beach Hair Rescue Spray under your hat throughout the day.
