Packing for vacation usually means thinking about what to wear, what shoes to bring, and which skincare products will fit in your carry-on. But there's one thing many travelers overlook: their hair.
Whether you're heading to the beach, exploring a new city, or celebrating a special occasion, a professional blowout before you leave can help simplify your routine and keep you looking polished throughout your trip.
At Blushington, many of our guests schedule a blowout the day before they travel so they can spend less time styling their hair and more time enjoying their vacation.
Why Get a Blowout Before You Travel?
Vacation should be about relaxing—not spending an hour doing your hair every morning.
A professional blowout can help you:
- Save time getting ready
- Reduce the amount of styling tools you need to pack
- Feel polished for travel days, dinners, and photos
- Start your trip with smooth, healthy-looking hair
Even if you plan to wear your hair up some days, starting with a professional blowout makes it easier to create effortless ponytails, buns, and waves.
How Long Will a Blowout Last on Vacation?
Most professional blowouts last several days, though the exact timing depends on your hair type, the climate, and your activities.
Your blowout may last longer if you're traveling to a dry climate and spending most of your time indoors.
If you're heading somewhere humid or spending your days at the beach or pool, your style may naturally soften more quickly. Even then, many guests find their hair remains easier to manage than if they had styled it themselves.
Traveling Somewhere Humid?
If you're vacationing somewhere with high humidity, let your Pro Artist know during your appointment.
Whether you're traveling to Florida, Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean, or another warm-weather destination, your stylist can customize your blowout using techniques and products designed to help reduce frizz and improve longevity.
Small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in how your hair performs while you're away.
Add a Customized Kérastase Fusio-Dose Treatment
Vacation is the perfect time to treat your hair.
Adding a customized Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment before your blowout helps address your hair's specific needs, whether that's hydration, shine, strength, color protection, or frizz control.
The treatment takes just five minutes and is personalized by your Pro Artist based on your hair's condition that day.
Many guests love pairing a Fusio-Dose treatment with their pre-vacation blowout so their hair looks and feels its best throughout the trip.
What Should You Pack to Extend Your Blowout?
You don't need to bring your entire styling routine with you.
A few essentials can help keep your blowout looking fresh:
- Travel-size dry shampoo
- A silk or satin scrunchie
- A wide-tooth comb or gentle brush
- Travel-size anti-frizz product if you're visiting a humid destination
Keeping your routine simple makes vacation mornings even easier.
When Should You Book Your Appointment?
For the best results, schedule your blowout the day before or the morning of your departure.
This allows you to begin your trip with freshly styled hair while giving you the maximum amount of time to enjoy your blowout.
If you're traveling for a wedding, cruise, reunion, or other special event, consider booking your appointment in advance, especially during busy travel seasons.
