Going Away This Spring Make Sure Your Hair Is Ready Too
Going Away This Spring? Make Sure Your Hair Is Ready Too
As April begins and Easter approaches, many people start preparing for holidays, weekend breaks and time away from their usual routine. While outfits and travel plans are often organised in advance, hair preparation is frequently overlooked.
At Cocco Salon in Derby, we often see clients just before they travel, looking for quick solutions to frizz, dryness or difficult styling. As the UK’s only Prescriptive Salon, we believe preparing your hair in advance makes a noticeable difference.
This blog explains how to get your hair ready for travel so it feels manageable, healthy and easy to style throughout your trip.
Why Hair Behaves Differently When You Travel
Changes in environment can affect hair more than expected. Different climates, water quality and humidity levels all play a role.
Common travel hair concerns include:
Frizz caused by humidity
Dryness from sun exposure
Flat or limp hair in humid air
Colour fading
Increased tangling
Difficulty styling without usual tools
Preparing your hair before travelling helps reduce these issues.
Why Preparation Matters More Than Styling
Trying to manage hair while away can be frustrating, especially if you rely on heat styling or specific products.
Preparing your hair in advance allows you to:
Reduce daily styling time
Maintain smoother texture
Protect colour and tone
Improve overall condition
Feel confident without relying on tools
Healthy hair is easier to manage in any environment.
Key Treatments to Consider Before Travelling
At Cocco Salon, we recommend tailored treatments depending on your hair type and destination.
These may include:
Hydration and Repair Treatments
To replenish moisture and improve softness.
Bond Strengthening Treatments
To protect hair from environmental stress.
Smoothing Treatments
To reduce frizz and improve manageability in humid conditions.
Glossing Services
To enhance shine and refresh tone before travel.
Each treatment is selected based on your individual hair needs.
Protecting Your Colour While Away
Sunlight, salt water and chlorine can all affect colour, especially lighter tones.
Before travelling, we assess:
Colour condition
Porosity
Tone balance
Previous lightening
A gloss or conditioning treatment can help protect and extend your colour.
The Role of Scalp Health During Travel
Changes in water and routine can affect the scalp as well as the hair.
A balanced scalp supports:
Better hair texture
Reduced irritation
Improved manageability
Stronger growth over time
A simple scalp reset before travel can make a noticeable difference.
Creating a Low Maintenance Styling Plan
We guide clients on how to maintain their hair while away, including:
Simple styling routines
Product recommendations
Reducing reliance on heat tools
Protecting hair overnight
This ensures your hair remains manageable throughout your trip.
