Whether you’re jetting off for a business trip, hitting the coast for a weekend getaway, or backpacking through the outback, your hair doesn’t take a vacation. Long flights, hotel water, and unpredictable weather can throw your grooming game off balance. That’s why at Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we’ve compiled the best travel haircare tips to help Australian men stay sharp wherever the journey takes them.
1. Pack Smart: Build a Men’s Grooming Travel Kit
You don’t need to take your entire bathroom with you just the essentials. A compact men’s grooming travel kit can keep you looking fresh without overloading your luggage.
Must-Have Items:
-
Travel-size shampoo & conditioner (hydrating or clarifying)
-
A small tub of pomade or styling cream
-
Lightweight hairbrush or folding comb
-
Dry shampoo for in-between washes
Pro Tip: Look for leak-proof bottles and TSA-approved sizes if flying.
2. Keep It Clean Even on the Road
New water types, sweat, and dust from travel can quickly affect scalp health. Wash your hair every 2–3 days using a gentle cleanser and avoid over-washing.
If access to a shower is limited, dry shampoo is a lifesaver. It absorbs oil, adds volume, and keeps your hair looking fresh.
3. Choose Portable Hair Products That Work Double Duty
When you’re travelling light, multi-use products are gold. Choose items that serve more than one purpose like a styling cream with moisturizing properties or a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner.
This keeps your packing minimal while ensuring your grooming doesn’t suffer.

Ask your stylist at Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing to recommend travel-size versions of your favorite salon products.
4. Don’t Neglect Styling Even on Holiday
Just because you’re relaxing doesn’t mean your hair should. Take 2 minutes in the morning to style your hair, whether it’s a clean side part or a messy textured look. A little effort goes a long way and looks better in photos!
Quick Styling Tips:
-
Use your fingers to style if you don’t have a brush.
-
A bit of water + pomade = revived second-day hair.
-
Choose a hairstyle that’s easy to maintain while you’re away.
5. Post-Travel Haircare: Refresh at Allan’s
Once you’re back from your trip, it’s time to rejuvenate your hair. Book in for a post-holiday cut or scalp treatment at Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing. A trim and deep cleanse will get rid of buildup, dryness, and split ends, leaving you refreshed and ready for your routine.
