How to Prep Your Hair for Holiday Travel
Get Your Hair Summer Ready at Hair Lab Salons, Basingstoke & Woking
Whether you're jetting off to a sun-soaked beach, exploring a cooler climate, or enjoying a relaxing staycation, prepping your hair for holiday travel is just as important as packing your SPF. At Hair Lab salons in Woking and Basingstoke, we believe your hair deserves the same protection and care as your skin, especially during the warmer months when heat, sun, and humidity can wreak havoc on your locks.
The summer elements—UV rays, heat, salt water, and chlorine can all leave your hair feeling dry, frizzy, and fragile. Even if you’re having a staycation or heading somewhere with milder temperatures, your hair is still exposed to changes in climate and routine that can affect its health and vibrancy. That’s why we recommend a little extra TLC before, during, and after your holiday.
Make sure to treat your hair before you travel! The best way to prep is to start with a professional in-salon treatment tailored to your hair’s unique needs. At Hair Lab, we offer a range of customised treatments from Kérastase and L’Oréal Professionnel to help combat common summer hair concerns.

Kérastase Fusio-Dose - The Ultimate Holiday Hair Rescue
Looking for something fast, powerful, and completely customised? The Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment, available exclusively at our Woking and Basingstoke salons, is a must-try.
This innovative salon-only treatment is like a health injection for your hair. Your stylist will mix a bespoke formula tailored to your needs, whether that’s hydration, shine, nourishment, strength, or all of the above. It delivers immediate, visible results and gets your hair in its best condition before you travel.
Trim Before You Travel & Freshen Up Your Colour
Sun, sea, and styling can cause damage, especially to already weakened or split ends. A quick trim before your trip keeps your hair looking fresh, healthy, and easier to manage. Even just removing the dry ends helps prevent further breakage. Need some #hairinspo? check out our haircuts and styles page, which is packed full of classic and modern hairstyle ideas.
Hair colour can fade faster when exposed to the harsh sun, especially creative or brighter colours. If you’re colouring your hair before a trip, chat with your stylist about using a UV-protectant spray to help shield your colour and keep it looking fresh and vibrant for longer.
Remeber to pack a rich leave-in conditioner or hydrating oil (especially for those ends) and apply a deep-conditioning mask once or twice a week to help add moisture to thirsty locks. Once you're back, book a post-holiday treatment to refresh, rehydrate, and restore your tresses. Our stylists can assess any damage and recommend the perfect in-salon rescue.
