What’s on the Spell team’s packing list? Our team live and breathe hair and beauty, so we make it our mission to bring you the best brands in the game!

Briogeo Style + Treat Sleek Stick, £20
If you’re not careful humidity and the sea breeze can wreak havoc on laid baby hairs. Take control with a few swipes of this conditioning smoothing stick. The hydrating formula and staying power is impressive!

Caroline Jewellery Portfolio, £159
Having a place for everything is the golden rule for packing. Rather than stuffing a priceless necklace in an obscure space, keep personal items together in a wallet. A standout colour will make it easier to find too.

This Works In transit skin defence, £35
Pigmentation flare ups are often attributed to sun exposure. For on-the-go protection, use a daily moisturiser with a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Re-apply throughout the day to maximise the benefits.

Boucleme Silk Turban, £42
Whether you’re sleeping on a plane or sun lounger, you’ll need a silk turban to keep textured hair in check. 100% silk will do a stellar job at retaining moisture and reducing frizz on human and synthetic hair if you opt for a protective style.

Outre Perfect Hairline, £32.99
The dreaded frontal lift is every woman’s holiday hair mare. With a built-in faux scalp and pre-plucked strands for a real hair line illusion, achieve a seamless blend without glue or fiddly tweaking.

Charlotte Tilbury More Sex 10ml, £20
Take the headache out of condensing your beauty routine into 100ml bottles. A size saving perfume will not only take up less space, but you can also pack more than without going over the luggage allowance. Makes a lot of scents!

Revlon Airflow Control Dryer, £34.99
Avoid extra luggage fees by packing compact and smart. This small but mighty dryer packs 2000 wattage and weighs a featherlight 939 grams. Don’t forget the diffuser attachment for a hint of curl versatility.

Charles Worthington Sunshine UV Protection Leave-in Spray, £3.49
Whilst we’re committed to protecting our skin from the sun, the same ideology applies to our hair. Shield strands from the drying effects of the sun and chlorine by including this efficacious spritz in your routine.

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Intensive Treatment Sachet, £1.99
Don’t forfeit on your favourite hair products. Sachets are a savvy way to keep on top of your beautifying rituals. Top up on a deep conditioning hair treatment, and if you’re somewhere hot, use the power of the sun to activate the heat.

Ugly: Why the world became beauty obsessed and how to break free by Anita Bhagwandas, £10.99
No holiday packing list would be complete without a gripping book to escape into. Our top choice comes from Anita Bhagwandas who puts a burning spotlight on today’s beauty standards.
