HOLIDAY ESSENTIALS: Haircare

Wow, long time no post, I hope you're all well! I have been so busy lately with university and holiday stuff and for the first time in a while, I can sit down and write blog posts! I'm going to be doing another holiday series but this time, instead of camping I'll be doing what I'm taking abroad with me on Tuesday to Salou. So I hope you enjoy these posts :)
Shampoo wise I have two Herbal Essences shampoos as these were both £1 on offer at Boots. I have the Beautiful Ends shampoo which I love so much and have the full size version of and also the new Tousle Me Softly shampoo which I've never tried. For a weeks holiday, two shampoos should hopefully be enough however, normally every week I use around 4 different shampoos as my hair type changes so much.. that's why I need two shampoos haha! I'm also taking a travel sized version of TRESemme's 24 Hour Body conditioner as it really nourishes hair yet doesn't weigh it down.

I'm also taking a detangling spray as my long hair gets tangled up enough just with water - never mind with sea water and chlorine! This one is the Kids Supersoft Detangling Spray and it smells beautiful! I haven't tried it yet but hopefully it'll be as good as my L'Oreal spray.

I'm taking a travel sizedTRESemmes Heat Defence spray and 24 Hour Body Blow Dry Spray as I could not live without these products. The Heat Defence spray obviously protects my hair against the appliance abuse and it also calms down frizz and the Blow Dry Lotion makes my hair BIG!

In the little pot I have some of Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream. If you read my blog often then you'll know that I don't get my hair cut which means the ends of my hair can sometimes be nightmares. But if I get my hair cut, it doesn't grow. This product is a lifesaver but the bottle is way to big. So I've decanted some product into a small Clinique sample pot - genius!

And finally I have Charles Worthington's Takeaway Sun-Shine UV Protection Styling Spray. I have never tried this but I've had my eye on it for a long time. However, I couldn't bring myself to spend £1.99 on such a small bottle! I did go into Home Bargains though and saw this. As soon as I saw the price, I had to buy it as it was only 49p!

Obviously I'm taking my GHDs aswell.

All of these products are brand new and have never been used.. I've tried a few before however, I will be reporting back on them when I return from my holidays!

What hair essentials do you take on holiday with you?
