Summer is almost here. And that means long nights, fun in the sun, and (best of all!) travel plans. Is your on-the-go toiletry bag of haircare products ready for your summer vacation? No worries, we’ve got you covered.
No matter where you are planning to go on your summer vacation, certain items are an absolute must for your packing list. You could rely on those hotel mini shampoos and conditioners, but we’re betting you want your mane to look as fabulous on holiday as it does when you’re at home.
That’s where travel toiletries of your favorite haircare products come in. Here’s our pick of hair care travel essentials for any destination, including some TSA-friendly options that meet the 3.4 ounces limit.

Beach Vacation Packing List
Salty ocean water, chlorinated pool water, and time spent under the sun all lead to excessive drying of your hair. Maintaining essential hydration not only keeps hair feeling soft and resilient, but it can also visibly reverse the appearance of sun-damaged strands.
To ward off dryness, wet your hair down and apply a leave in conditioner before entering the water. Double up on your moisturizing efforts and apply a hair treatment, then wrap hair up in a top bun to beat heat damage and maintain sexy beach hair.
