These travel hot tools and products make on-the-go hair styling a breeze.

Styling your hair while on vacation can seem like a pipe dream without bringing the entire contents of your bathroom in a dedicated salon bag. Skip the extra baggage fees by popping these small items into your luggage or carry-on instead.

Travel-sized Revlon Hair Dryer

Revlon’s travel hair dryer is just as powerful as their regular-sized versions, but far more compact. The head of the dryer is just under 4 by 6 inches, and the handle folds against the body to be ultra slim. It has low and high settings, a “cool shot” button, can switch easily between 125V and 250V, and comes with a concentrator nozzle to speed up drying time.

Ceremonia Collapsible Diffuser

To complement your new travel-sized hair dryer, this handy diffuser is totally collapsible to save space in your luggage. Made with flexible silicone, it’s designed to fit most hair dryers, minimize frizz, and handle temperatures up to 400°F. Perfect for drying and defining curls on the go.

Conair Travel Pouch

Like an oven mitt for your straightening and curling tools, this pouch fits most standard curling and flat irons to absorb heat and protect the contents of your luggage from burning or melting. You can retouch your hair the morning of your flight and not worry about tossing your flat iron into your suitcase before rushing to the airport.

Remington Travel Hot Rollers

This compact roller set is perfect to travel with – small enough to fit reasonably in your suitcase or carry-on, with enough rollers to get your whole head of hair curled and set in a short amount of time. The voltage is adjustable for worldwide travel, and the rollers heat up inside their case in just 90 seconds. If hot rollers are your heat tool of choice, these are the travel rollers for you.

DevaCurl FLEXFACTOR Protection Primer

Every curly girl knows you should never apply heat to your hair without a protectant. This 3-ounce travel-sized bottle can safely be taken in your carry-on for short weekend trips, and the lightweight formula offers protection from UV rays plus heat from tools up to 450°F.

Ecoslay Apple Sauce and Edge Brush

Finish your look with flawless edges. This edge control and brush combo offers extreme hold to avoid midday flyaways, and can be used as an overall styling gel when applied to wet hair. We love a two-for-one deal.
