 –  6 min read

Make more room in your suitcase without compromising your hair routine. Discover the mini shampoos, treatments and styling heroes worth packing for your next holiday

Your outfits are planned, your SPF is packed, setting spray on hand, and the suitcase is almost closed. But before you zip it up, there’s one more routine to make room for. Your hair routine. The one that can be a bit of a pain to pack, with all the large, clunky bottles you only need a few spritzes of, to your shampoo and conditioner duo that takes up more room than you'd like.

Let's face it, it's not a step you want to skip. Between warmer temperatures, humidity, salt water, chlorine and more time spent styling, your hair can need a little extra support while you’re away. From mini shampoos and conditioners to treatments, oils and styling sprays, the Luxurious Look minis collection makes it easy to pack the steps your hair relies on without filling your case with full-sized bottles. Here are the travel hair heroes worth finding space for.

The Holiday Hair Kit That Does It All

Not sure where to start? The Luxurious Look Exclusive Smooth, Set, Jet Goody Bag brings several holiday essentials together in one travel-ready edit. Inside, you’ll find minis from Davines, Milk_Shake, Maria Nila, Bumble and Bumble and Davroe, covering everything from cleansing and conditioning to heat protection, hydration and smoothing.

The products have been selected with frizz, humidity and on-the-go styling in mind, and they come packed inside a reusable canvas bag ready to pop in your suitcase. It’s an easy option for anyone who wants a complete routine without choosing every product inpidually, as well as a chance to discover several salon haircare brands while you’re away.

Keep Coloured Hair Feeling Fresh

Sunshine, frequent washing and days spent in and out of the water can make looking after coloured hair feel a little more challenging. Packing a shampoo and conditioner designed specifically for colour-treated hair means you can keep your usual priorities in place, even when you’re away.

The Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo 50ml gently cleanses away daily build-up while helping to support colour vibrancy and damaged hair. Follow it with the Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner 50ml, an extra-nourishing formula designed to hydrate, improve manageability and help reduce breakage. At 50ml each, they make a practical wash-day pairing for shorter trips and hand luggage.

Give Dry Hair A Little Extra Support

Even if your hair usually feels manageable, warmer weather and repeated styling can leave it feeling drier or more prone to frizz.

KEVIN.MURPHY STAYING.ALIVE 40ml is a weightless leave-in treatment created for damaged and colour-treated hair. The fine mist helps smooth and nourish to improve manageability without adding another rinse-out step to your routine. 

Shake the bottle, mist it evenly through damp hair and leave it for a few seconds before combing through. From there, you can style as usual or leave your hair to air-dry, making it a useful addition for slower holiday mornings.

Smooth Frizz Without Weighing Hair Down

A lightweight oil is one of the most versatile products you can pack. Use it before styling, smooth it through dry ends or keep it nearby for quick touch-ups when humidity begins to undo your work.

The Maria Nila True Soft Argan Oil 30ml absorbs quickly to soften hair, add moisture and reduce the appearance of frizz without leaving it feeling heavy. It can be used on damp or dry hair and is suitable for all hair types, making it a simple multitasker for your holiday routine.

Prep Before Using Heat

Hotel hairdryers and styling tools can still find their way into even the most relaxed holiday routine. Davines More Inside Primer 100ml helps protect against thermal damage while supporting shine and volume.

Its anti-humidity properties also help keep frizz under control, while the formula is designed to speed up blow-drying and help your finished style last longer. Forget taking forever to style your hair or it dropping out with the heat, this primer does it all for your holiday hair.

Refresh Your Hair Between Washes

Some holiday mornings are made for taking your time. Others are about getting ready quickly and heading straight out. The Maria Nila Invisidry Dry Shampoo 100ml refreshes the hair and scalp between washes by absorbing excess oil and adding light, airy volume. Its invisible finish makes it suitable for both blonde and dark hair, without leaving behind an obvious powdery residue.

Shake well, spray directly onto the roots and work the product through with your fingertips. You can also mist it through the lengths when your hair needs a little more texture and movement.

Add Texture To Holiday Styles

Whether you’re creating soft waves for dinner or adding volume to a quick updo, a mini texture spray can make simple styles feel more finished without leaving your hair sticky in the heat and impossible to deal with the next day like with hairspray. 

Color Wow Style on Steroids Texture Spray 50ml is designed to add grip, texture and style memory without making the hair feel stiff, sticky or chalky. Its transparent finish is particularly useful for colour-treated hair, as it won’t cloud or dull the appearance of your colour.

From weekend breaks to longer escapes, discover the Luxurious Look minis collection and find the suitcase-friendly haircare that keeps your routine feeling familiar wherever you’re heading.
