Travel-Size Hair Dryers That Are As Good As Full-Size Ones

When you’re on a trip, you don’t want to be stuck with the depressing, low-pressure hotel hair dryer or—worse yet—totally sans dryer. You know how many photos you’ll be taking on your vacation, whether you’re at some island paradise resort or cheesing it up at your friend’s wedding. If your face and hair are going to end up in that many pictures, you need to have a reliable hair dryer in your carry-on, because sometimes that salt spray doesn’t give you the beachy waves you were envisioning or your hair air-dries weirdly. But you don’t want to bring your full-size hair dryer either, it will take up a ton of valuable real estate in your suitcase. You could have put two dresses in there instead. That’s why we rounded up the best travel-size hair dryers. If you’re going to be jetting off on long vacation and weekend getaways, it’s smart to have one in your beauty arsenal.

Our picks are lightweight and promise not to steal space from your wardrobe. These dryers are powerful too. You’ll be able to dry your hair as well as you would have with your go-to dryer. They have multiple heat and speed settings, plus the cool shot button. One of our selections is even internationally safe. It’s blessed with dual voltage, so you can travel the world with it.
