Wherever our travels take us, we think it’s important to look our best along the way. Whether we’ve got plans to explore a big city or relax by the beach at a resort, we like to come prepared, and that includes bringing the right hair tools and accessories. If you’ve got the space, by all means, pack your full-size tools, but if your plans require that you pack light, travel-size blow dryers and straighteners may be the way to go. We’ve tested dozens throughout all of our trips and found a few that now, we won’t travel without.
Drybar Baby Buttercup Hairdryer
We love all of Drybar’s products for achieving that fresh-from-the-salon blowout at home, but their hairdryer is by far our favorite. The miniature version is perfect for weekend getaways and comes in a fun, bright yellow color.
Amika Mini Mighty Styler
Mini but mighty is an accurate description—this straightener by Amika is powerful enough to keep your hair smooth and shiny without taking up a lot of room in your suitcase. It’s available in a pink color as well as several fun floral patterns.
T3 Afar Travel Hair Dryer
The best thing about T3’s take on a miniature hair dryer is that you can share it with all of your travel companions. It’s designed with several heat and airflow setting options, so it works well with almost any hair type. It even comes with a cute carrying case.
