When going on holiday, it’s important to think about how you are going to look after and maintain your hair. Many men will choose to keep their hairstyle the same, but I find that a lot of clients come into the salon wanting something slightly different whilst they are away.
An individual’s profession can have a huge impact on how they have to dress and style their hair on a daily basis, so taking a break from the nine-to-five lifestyle for a couple of weeks provides men with an opportunity to experiment with their hairstyle, or at least have something a bit edgier or unkempt.
Those men that do ‘want a change’ generally fall into two categories:
1. The Longer Hairstyles
Growing your hair or keeping it slightly longer whilst you’re away makes a great change and can even reduce the amount of time it takes to style your hair (or in some cases increase it, especially if your hair is curly). It can also look effortlessly cool when the edges become slightly uneven, providing natural texture and a laid-back, dishevelled feel.
Longer hairstyles can be left to dry naturally or you could consider applying some sea salt spray (see ‘Difference In Water Quality’ section below). Sea salt products will make the hair look as though it has no product in at all but will create a dry, rough texture that makes unkempt hairstyles a breeze to create. This kind of product is perfect for most hair types – from straight to wavy.
If you have curlier or a slightly drier hair texture, I would apply some mousse or curl defining cream. These have higher moisturising properties, which helps to reduce frizz and smooth the hair for easier styling.

2. The Shorter Hairstyles
Going short and sharp through the back and sides looks clean and crisp on holiday, and reduces the chance of getting tan lines on your forehead or around the hairline.
Recently, many guys have been opting for cuts with maximum scalp exposure through the back and sides, whilst maintaining length throughout the top. To mix it up and add some interest while away, why not add a ‘tramline’: a line created with the clippers to create an exaggerated parting. Alternatively, clipper the sides high past the curve of the head; this leaves the haircut looking dramatic and extremely contemporary.
