Traveling with Style – The Aussie Way
Australia is home to a variety of climates, and Aussies are no strangers to domestic and international travel. Whether you're jetting off to Bali’s tropical beaches, trekking through the dry Outback, or exploring Europe’s cool cities, your hair needs to adapt just as much as your wardrobe does.
At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we care about how you look and feel—wherever you go. That’s why we’ve created this travel-focused hair care guide designed for the modern Australian man on the move.
Taming the Frizz: Hair Care in Humid Climates
Frizz is your biggest enemy in places like Southeast Asia, the Northern Territory, or Queensland in summer. Here’s how to stay fresh:
-
Use an anti-humidity spray or serum – Products with ingredients like argan oil or keratin work wonders.
-
Avoid heavy styling gels – They tend to melt in the heat and make your hair greasy.
-
Go for cropped or faded styles – Low-maintenance cuts reduce volume and frizz.
-
Dry naturally when possible – Heat styling amplifies frizz in humid areas.
Pro Tip from Allan’s: Ask for a low-maintenance travel cut before your trip—perfect for tropical zones!
Fighting the Dryness: Hair Care in Arid Climates
Dry air can be brutal—especially in the Australian Outback, parts of Western Australia, or on high-altitude adventures. Here’s how to stay hydrated (hair included):
-
Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners – Avoid sulfates.
-
Apply leave-in conditioner or lightweight oils like jojoba or coconut oil.
-
Wear a hat or cap – It protects your scalp from UV and reduces breakage.
-
Avoid daily washing – It strips away natural oils.
Bonus: Ask Allan’s stylists for product recommendations that fight dryness without weighing your hair down.
 Cold Climates: Avoiding Static and Brittleness
Whether you’re heading to Tasmania in winter, or skiing in New Zealand or Europe, don’t let winter zap your hair’s health:
-
Switch to hydrating shampoos – Winter air + heaters = dry scalp.
-
Use a humidifier – Especially in hotel rooms.
-
Wear a beanie lined with satin/silk – Reduces friction and static.
-
Limit hot showers – Too much heat damages your scalp and hair.
Allan’s Tip: Use a scalp-care treatment weekly when traveling to cold regions to keep dandruff at bay.
