Summer holidays are fast approaching and along with your outfit choices you’ll need your go-to hair and beauty essentials. Instead of packing huge bottles or decanting your favourite products into travel bottles, we’ve put together our top travel-friendly products for you to take whether you’re going on a city break, a weekend away, or lazing on the beach for a week or two!

1. Daily essentials

Shampoo and Conditioner – they often take up most of the room in our luggage, so instead invest in travel size products that can be easily stored and even carried as hand luggage. Paul Mitchell miniatures are perfect for this and we’ve got every hair type covered – coloured, fine, frizzy, and even sun damaged hair.

Hairspray – to keep your hairstyle in place, hairspray is key but those cans can take up a lot of room! Our top picks for a travel-friendly solution are Tigi Bed Head Mini Hard Head Hard Hold Hairspray, and for a non-aerosol hairspray we love Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine Super Spray. If you suffer from frizz on holiday, go for Sexy Hair Big Weatherproof Anti Humidity Spray.

Hairbrush – if you’re off to the beach, pop the Tangle Teezer compact into your bag. You can also take it in your hand luggage to refresh your hairstyle before you step off the plane. Its handy protective cover makes it perfect for throwing in your bag!

2. Treatments

We all love keeping our hair in top condition at home with hair masks and treatments, and now we can continue this on holiday especially if you’re in the sun. Macadamia No Tangle is great if your hair gets tangled after washing, or even after a day on the beach. If your hair is starting to feel dry and damaged from the sun, apply Moroccanoil to the mid lengths and ends to repair and nourish – this 25ml bottle is perfect for carrying with you.

3. Makeup

Save space and cut your makeup down to a travel-friendly size. Miniature 10ml primer, foundation and bronzer from New CID will give you a flawless long lasting base that will fit into your handbag for any touch ups that might be needed.

Instead of applying fresh nail polish every few days, get a gel manicure before you go on holiday. Do it yourself at home with EZ Gel One Step Gel Nail Polish for a quick, one-step, long lasting manicure.
