Hair and Airplane: How to Effectively Protect Them During a Flight?
Air travel often means a change of scenery... but also challenges for your hair. The dry and pressurized cabin air dehydrates the hair fiber, promoting breakage, loss of shine, and frizz. The air conditioning in airports makes the scalp greasy. At RENASCOR Laboratory, we place hair protection at the heart of every protocol, including while traveling. Here are simple actions and suitable care to keep your hair healthy at 30,000 feet.
Why does flying weaken hair?
The cabin environment is particularly drying, with a relative humidity between 10 and 20% (compared to 30 to 60% under normal conditions). As a result, hair dries out, becomes dull, and weakens. This dehydration accelerates split ends, makes lengths brittle, and can disrupt your hair reconstruction routine.
Before the flight: anticipate dehydration
-
Apply a moisturizing mask the day before departure: it will strengthen the protective barrier of the fiber.
-
Pre-dry your hair if you are traveling after a shower: never board a plane with wet hair.
-
Apply a protective serum to coat the hair fiber before boarding.
RENASCOR advice: choose a treatment enriched with moisturizing agents and vegetable oils, perfectly tolerated during flights.
During the flight: continuous protection
-
Slip a leave-in moisturizing spray into your carry-on, to be sprayed regularly on the lengths.
-
Drink enough water: internal hydration remains essential for your hair.
-
Avoid hairstyles that are too tight (bun, high ponytail) which weaken the roots.
-
Opt for a silk pillowcase if traveling overnight: it reduces friction and breakage.
Small gestures that make a difference
-
Protect your hair with a light scarf or silk wrap.
-
Limit metal or tight accessories during the flight.
-
Upon arrival, rinse your hair and apply an after-sun or restorative treatment if exposed to sun or wind.
