Holidays are all about relaxing, unwinding from day to day, and taking some time for yourself. This is why you want your haircare routine on vacation to be as simple and as unfussy as possible. Check out these three hairstyles, each of which is easy to achieve and simple to maintain. They will allow you to go longer between washes, cut down on styling products, and maintain that easy, carefree look that all vacations need.

Braids

A simple braid is a great option if you want to keep your hair off your face, go longer between washes than you normally would, and leave some of your styling devices and products at home. If your braids start looking a little scruffy, simply remove them, dampen your hair and comb through some hair oil, or leave-in conditioner, and then re-braid so that you’re good to go.

Natural Waves

If you’re naturally wavy or curly but normally spend hours with straighteners, your vacation is your chance to give your hair a break. Pack some hair oil to nourish strands, a leave-in conditioner, and a frizz treatment if you’re concerned about what humidity might do to your hair. Otherwise, allow it to air dry naturally and enjoy lightly scrunching it as it dries to encourage those curls and waves to form.

Low Bun

Is there anything more simple or more chic than a low bun? For this hairstyle, all you’ll need to take with you is some trusty scrunchies, a brush or comb, and a little styling product to keep any flyaway strands in place. Comb or brush your hair, secure the bun in place, and then gloss over your hair with some styling product on your fingers to fix frizz and wisps.
