Summer hair care on vacation is all about keeping your hair healthy, shiny, and effortlessly beautiful — without spending hours styling. Holidays are the time to let go of schedules, to-do lists… and the blow-dryer. You want to feel free, relaxed, and sexy without a complicated routine.
At BAM Hair Salon, we believe the best vacation hair is the one that embraces your natural texture — whether it’s straight, wavy, or curly. Here’s how to give each hair type the love it needs so it looks its best all summer long.
Straight Hair – Freshness and Movement
Straight hair can get oily and limp quickly in hot, humid weather. The goal is lightweight freshness with natural movement — without overloading your hair with product.
- Pack light with travel-size shampoo and conditioner designed for fine hair volume.
- Dry shampoo is your best friend for keeping roots fresh and avoiding the flat look.
- After washing, let hair air-dry while lifting the roots for added movement.
- For an effortless vacation style, try heatless curls — just 1–2 hours can give you soft waves without damage.

Wavy Hair – Beachy Vibes Without Frizz
Wavy hair is the ultimate vacation look — as long as you control the frizz and keep the shape.
- Get a trim before your trip so your waves fall naturally.
- After washing, gently towel-dry with a towel to reduce frizz.
- Apply a leave-in lotion for waves and scrunch the ends for definition.
- Let the sea breeze and salty air enhance your waves — finish with a few drops of hair oil to lock in moisture and shine.

Curly Hair – Defined Curls With Zero Effort
Curls can look effortlessly sexy on vacation if you keep them hydrated and shaped.
- Even if you didn’t get your pre-holiday trim, you can still create amazing styles and updos without tools.
- After washing, apply a rich curl cream or a deeply hydrating leave-in.
- Work the product into very damp hair and twirl sections around your finger for uniform curls.
- Let your curls air-dry and avoid touching them — summer’s natural “undone” curl is part of the charm.
