Summer travel means new adventures and plenty of time in the sun! If you have curly hair, it can also come with extra prep and anxiety about frizz, dryness, or frequent dips in the water. These simple tips will help keep your curls looking and feeling their best, wherever your travels take you.
Detox On The Go
Between hard water, salt water, and chlorine, your hair can take a beating on vacation. These elements can cause brassy tones in blonde hair and leave curls feeling dry and straw-like. To combat mineral deposits on your hair, pack a detox duo:
- Triple Threat Detox Shampoo cleanses, chelates, and clarifies in one step, without stripping the hair.
- Hydrofuse Moisture Mask follows up with chelating and deep hydration, gently removing buildup while restoring your hair’s ability to retain moisture.

Proactively Hydrate
Climate extremes, whether humid or arid, can wreak havoc on curly hair. By supercharging your hydration game with a rich moisturizer, you can help minimize the impact. We recommend Oasis Hydrating Primer for dry air and a glycerin-free cream moisturizer, like Shape Shifter, for humid environments.
Define and Seal
Your definer and sealer help to lock in hydration, minimize frizz, and preserve definition.
- Hold Up Defining Serum is our go-to definer for a hard cast that softens over time, offering maximum protection from the elements.
- A sealer like Mane Tame or Hair Bling can be used between washes for an added layer of protection and a quick fix for errant flyaways.
Consider a Protective Style
Want to take the guesswork out of styling while you travel? A protective style can be your best friend. Talk to your stylist about options that suit your texture, goals, and trip length. One of our favorite low-maintenance styles is mini-twists, like these by Original Moxie stylist LaMani Carter. They’re low-tension (gentle on your scalp), long-lasting, and versatile.
