Protective Hairstyles for Summer Travel
Vacations are meant for adventure and relaxation—not for stressing over your hair. Whether you’re hopping on a plane, hitting the beach, or road-tripping across the country, protective hairstyles are the go-to solution for keeping your strands healthy and hassle-free this summer.
Why Protective Styles Are a Must for Summer
Travel exposes your hair to all sorts of stressors—UV rays, saltwater, chlorine, humidity, and long hours on the go. Protective styles help reduce:
-
Breakage from friction and constant manipulation
-
Dryness from sun and water exposure
-
Tangles from wind or sleeping in different environments
By tucking your ends away and minimizing direct heat or styling, you’re giving your hair a well-deserved break.
Top Travel-Friendly Styles to Try
-
Box Braids – Great for long trips and swimming
-
Flat Twists – Easy to do and gentle on the scalp
-
Low Buns – Sleek and elegant for day or night
-
Cornrows or Feed-In Braids – Long-lasting and low-maintenance
-
Headwraps or Turbans – Stylish, breathable, and protective on sunny days
How Asta Keeps These Styles Fresh
Protective styles only work if you care for your scalp and strands underneath. That’s where Asta’s product line comes in:
-

Bonus tip: Pack a travel-size bottle of Asta oil in your carry-on to refresh your scalp mid-flight or post-swim.
Ready, Set, Travel (and Protect)
Protective styles are more than a trend—they’re a way to keep your hair thriving while you make memories this summer. With a little prep and the right products, your hair can stay just as carefree as your vacation vibes.
