For some reason, as soon as we step off of the plane on holiday our hair seems to take on a life of its own.
The humidity, UV rays and chlorine wreak havoc on hair, leaving us with frazzled strands that just won’t co-operate. Luckily, we’ve found a few holy grail products which help keep our hair in check. They all come in super convenient travel-sizes too, saving precious space in your case for the important things (like extra bikinis!)

Mark Hill Holiday Hair UV Shield, £5.99
We all love spending a day at the pool but chlorine strips hair of its natural oils and speeds up colour fading. This all-in-one spray protects against UVA/UVB rays whilst also locking in colour, so you don’t have to worry about developing the dreaded green tinge!
Tangle Teezer Compact Styler, £13.50
As much as we’d love to say we emerge from the sea with perfectly tousled waves, the reality is usually a knotty mess. This mini hairbrush from Tangle Teezer’s new collaboration with Lulu Guinness is perfect for brushing out knots easily. It also comes with a removable cover, which stops the bristles from getting damaged or dirty in your beach bag.Available from July
Paul Mitchell Yacht Club Express Mini Smooth Straightners, £27.95
If humidity leaves your hair looking like Monica from Friends, make sure you pack these adorable mini straighteners. With ceramic plates and ionic technology, they leave your hair looking silky smooth and the dual voltage means you can take them anywhere.

It’s really important to wash your hair after a day at the beach to give it a really thorough cleanse and remove all traces of sand and chlorine. The OGX travel line is perfect for holidays; the bottles are slightly larger than standard minis so they’re the perfect size for a week away.
