Travel hair tips: How to keep your hairstyle looking amazing on the go

October 21, 2025

We love to travel but hate to think about doing our hair on vacation. Between long flights, hotel showers, changing climates, and humidity spikes, your strands can take a serious hit. But with the right travel hair care routine and your Sleepy Tie in your bag, you can step off the plane, out of the car, or onto the beach looking like you just left the salon.

Whether you’re heading on a weekend getaway or a two-week escape, these pro travel hair tips will keep your style intact, your blowout smooth, and your hair healthy no matter where your itinerary takes you.

1. Pack Smart: Mini Hair Essentials That Work Overtime

Overpacking? Not the vibe. Stick to travel-sized hair products that give you the most payoff without taking up precious space:

  • Travel-size shampoo & conditioner for your hair type

  • Hydrating leave-in conditioner to combat dryness

  • Compact detangling brush to keep strands smooth

  • Dry shampoo for instant refreshes

  • Microfiber hair towel (hotel towels can cause frizz and breakage)

Pro tip: Don’t forget the LuxeBonnet, your secret to waking up with frizz-free, ready-to-style hair in the morning.

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Airplane air and hard hotel water are a recipe for dryness. Keep a lightweight hair oil or serum in your purse to instantly revive dull strands, fight frizz, and add shine.

Try: Oribe Gold Lust Oil. It strengthens hair, protects from heat and UV, seals split ends, and still feels feather-light.

3. Sleep Smarter with Sleepy Tie

Nothing beats starting a vacation day with hair that’s already done. The Sleepy Tie is your go-to for preserving blowouts and styled hair overnight without dents, frizz, or tangles.

Simply gather your hair into the Sleepy Tie before bed to create a comfortable, secure bun that reduces damage while maintaining your style. For extra protection, layer with the LuxeBonnet. Bonus: It’s so compact you won’t even notice it in your suitcase.

4. Refresh Without Washing

Sometimes you don’t have the time or energy for a full wash and blow-dry. Here’s your quick travel-friendly refresh routine:

  • At night: Secure your hair with the Sleepy Tie before bed.

  • In the morning:

    • Spritz dry shampoo at your roots

    • Smooth ends with your go-to hair oil

The Bottom Line:
Travel doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice great hair. With smart packing, hydration, overnight protection, and quick refresh tricks, your strands can look salon-fresh every single day of your trip.

The Sleepy Tie isn’t just a hair accessory, it’s your ultimate travel hair hack. Less time styling means more time exploring, relaxing, and making memories while looking effortlessly polished every step of the way.
