Recently I experienced a flight delay (which is common). I had spent my morning working out, eating breakfast and pushing it for time to the airport. I didn’t get to finish my hair like I wanted to. The delay gave me the perfect opportunity to finish doing my hair. Now, you may be too shy to do your hair in a crowded airport – but I am not. We have things to do and people to see. Luckily, I also carry my essentials (like hair products) in my carry-on for moments like this (stay ready). Here are some of my favorite travel size hair tools you can put in your carry on:
1. Travel-Sized Hair Dryer
A travel-sized hair dryer with a foldable handle, lightweight design, and dual voltage is ideal for trips. This tool saves space and allows for quick drying and styling, making it perfect for those busy mornings at the hotel or before heading out to Essence Fest. The dual voltage feature is especially useful if you’re traveling internationally, ensuring your hair dryer works wherever you go. Ensure the hair dryer fits comfortably in your carry-on without adding too much weight or bulk.
2. Mini Flat Iron
A compact, quick-heating mini flat iron with dual voltage is perfect for maintaining sleek, straight hair or adding soft waves and curls while on the go. This tool’s small size makes it easy to pack and handle, fitting neatly into your carry-on luggage without taking up much space. It’s also convenient for quick touch-ups throughout the day or before evening events. Pack it in an easily accessible place in your carry-on for quick removal during security checks if needed, ensuring you can keep your hair always looking flawless.
3. Cordless Curling Iron/Wand
A cordless curling iron or wand, whether rechargeable or battery-operated, is a fantastic travel companion for creating beautiful curls or waves without needing an outlet. This tool is perfect for touch-ups and styling on the go, especially useful when you don’t have easy access to a power source. Ensure the curling iron is fully charged before packing, and check that it meets TSA guidelines for lithium-ion batteries. Its compact design allows for easy packing and handling, making it a practical addition to your carry-on.
