AUTHENTIC JOURNAL
Holidays should be a time to rest, recharge and immerse yourself in new experiences. Ensuring you’re well prepared enables you to have the most enjoyable break possible; to truly switch off from the stressors of everyday life and remain present in each moment. Carefully choosing your beauty products should be part of this prep, helping you feel your most authentic self, while enjoying everything your holiday has to offer.
Whether you’re heading to a sun-soaked retreat, a bustling city escape, or a weekend getaway, caring for your hair on the go doesn’t mean compromising on mindful beauty. At Authentic Beauty Concept we believe in simple and effective hair rituals that nourish your hair without overloading it, no matter where you are in the world.
Hair comes under additional stress on holiday. Salt water, chlorine, sun exposure, humidity and heat can make hair dry and brittle. Therefore, the hair care routine that works for you at home may not be so effective in different climates and countries. For this reason, it’s important to be mindful of your hair’s needs ahead of your travels. Below, we share some simple tips to help you choose the right Authentic Beauty Concept products for your travel-friendly hair care rituals.
Holidays should be stress-free. By taking a minimalist and intentional approach to packing, you can ensure you have everything you need without weighing yourself down—both mentally and physically—with unnecessary items. Streamline your travel hair care by opting for lightweight, travel-sized essentials that cover your basic hair needs, just like our Glow Spray Serum and Cosmic Blow-Dry Jelly, both available as travel size hair products.
Shampoo & Mask Mini Duo: Prioritise gentle and effective cleansing. Our Hydrate Cleanser will refresh and moisturise your hair no matter the climate. Keeping with the minimal theme, skip the conditioner and use our Hydrate Mask instead. It’ll provide your hair with the extra moisture it needs when traveling. Both of these products are available in handy miniatures, and indeed all Authentic Beauty Concept ranges offer travel size hair products, to save precious space in your luggage.
Leave-In Hair Care: Give your hair an additional dose of protection and nourishment by packing a multi-tasking leave-in. Our Replenish Split End Remedy seals and smooths, offering a weightless shield against travel-induced dryness while sealing any pesky split ends.
Part of the beauty of traveling is experiencing different climates. Whether you’re soaking up sunshine on the beach or embracing snow on the slopes, it’s important to pack the right hair products for your destination’s weather.
For Hard Water Areas: If you’re heading somewhere with hard water, prevent the negative effects this can have upon your hair by using our Deep Cleansing Shampoo to remove build-up, impurities and pollutants.
For Humid Destinations: Choose lightweight products that fight frizz and keep hair soft and smooth. Our Hydrate range for dry hair is a perfect choice, containing Mango and Basil extracts to hydrate, soothe and revitalise hair. For more intense care, consider our Replenish Rich Mask, with Shea Butter to luxuriously envelop each strand.
For Dry, Cold Climates: For chillier climates, choose our Replenish range. The Maple and Pecan Nut infused formulas deeply nourish, preventing hair from becoming brittle and susceptible to breakage in cold temperatures.
For Beach Escapes: Protect hair from salt and sun with a leave-in treatment that locks in moisture and helps to shield hair against the effects of UV rays. Our Glow Spray Serum is a multi-benefit sprayable serum that helps to protect hair from the negative effects of UV and preserves colour. It also adds intense shine, perfect if you’re seeking a touch of poolside glamour. If dryness is more your concern, our Hydrate Spray Conditioner is a good choice to restore elasticity and bounce. If you're looking to keep hair hydrated and skin revitalised, then our leave-in spray mist Enhancing Water deeply moisturises hair and skin on the go. No matter which product you choose, pop them in your summer bag as the perfect beach day companion to keep hair hydrated between washes!
With so much to see and do, time-saving holiday hairstyles help you feel your best while freeing you up to enjoy your travels. A few carefully selected products and techniques can help you craft simple, authentic styles.
The Air-Dried Look: Holidays are the time to let your natural texture shine. Enhance your authentic beauty with our Nymph Salt Spray for lightweight, tousled texture in effortless beach waves when air-dried. For more lived-in volume use our Airy Texture Spray.
Sleek & Polished: Wet-look hair is a practical yet chic look while traveling. Our Cosmic Blow-Dry Jelly is a clever multi-purpose product that helps you create sleek styles without any unwanted stickiness. For a more natural look, try our Enhancing Water to keep flyaways tamed while maintaining an airy, natural feel. This lightweight sprayable mist can also be applied to skin to refresh and add a touch of moisture.
The On-the-Go Refresh: No time to wash your hair? No problem! A spritz of Dry Shampoo instantly revives hair between washes, giving it a fresh, weightless lift. You can also use Dry Shampoo as a pre-styler for light control—it contains heat protection up to 230°C.
It can be tempting to squeeze new experiences into every second of travel but remember to carve out time for moments for yourself. A mini self-care ritual can be as simple as applying a nourishing mask. Our Replenish Light Cream Mask delivers an immediate dose of intense nourishment without weighing your hair down. Or linger under the shower and treat yourself to a scalp massage when cleansing to boost circulation and relaxation.
No matter where your journey takes you, your hair deserves care that aligns with your values—authentic, simple, and effective. Pack mindfully, embrace effortless styling, and let your beauty routine be as free-spirited as your adventures.
