Travel-Friendly Hairdryers, Straighteners, Curlers & Hair Tools With Dual Voltage That Can Be Used Anywhere In The World (5)

Holiday outfits and makeup may be easy to plan, your hairstyles may not be. While you could rely on the budget hairdryer that hotels provide, it could take a long time and some getting used to. After all, these lack styling versatility, such as those afforded by hair straighteners and curling wands.

But before you hastily pack your favourite curling wand into your luggage for your next trip, there’s one important thing to note. Depending on where you’re going, what works in Singapore may not always work overseas, no thanks to different voltages. The solution? Dual voltage devices that can be used anywhere in the world, like the 10 portable and travel-friendly hair styling devices we’ve rounded up below.

Travel-friendly hair straighteners

Mini flat iron: Vanessa Pro Mini Flat Iron Hair Straightener ($44.12)
Weight: 160g
Measuring only 18.4cm across and weighing 160g, the Vanessa Pro mini flat iron is a lightweight addition even for those flying without check-in baggage. The argan oil-infused titanium plate heats to 230 degrees Celsius and releases negative ions that combat frizz and damage. Because of its petite size, this flat iron would be better for those with short to medium hair or those looking to tidy their fringe and bangs before heading out the door.

Cordless Flat iron: Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener in Bright Copper/Bright Nickel ($669)
Weight: 560g
The Dyson Corrale is practically made for travel — it has a flight-ready mode that you can switch to before boarding the plane. Now you don’t have to risk having the cordless Corrale not being able to pass through Japan customs (the country’s air laws are stricter there). Not only can the Dyson Corrale hair straightener be used cordless for up to 30 minutes, but it also features flexing copper plates and intelligent heat control to straighten and style hair more efficiently and effectively using less heat, thereby lowering heat damage incurred to your precious tresses. Choose between three heat settings —165, 185, or 210 degrees Celsius — and switch to the Flight-ready mode before boarding the plane (Dyson’s full guide on travelling with the Corrale here).

The ProTraveller Hair Dryer from the homegrown brand offers three heat and cold shot settings as well as three speed settings that go up to 80,000 rpm.

Foldable hairdryer: GHD Flight Travel Hairdryer ($96)
Weight: 408g
GHD has shrunk its flagship hairdryer, the Air Professional, by making it 50 per cent lighter while retaining 70 per cent of its power to create this foldable and compact travel hair dryer. It has two heat settings that deliver an airflow temperature of 65 degrees Celsius. Lastly, use the removable nozzle to dry your roots precisely for scalp health and volume.

Travel-friendly hair curlers

Single-sized curler: Conair Double Ceramic 1-inch Curling Wand ($54.99)
Weight: 349g
If you already have a signature style and only need a single-sized curling barrel, this Conair curling wand is a compact device to pack. The double ceramic curling wand offers 30 heat settings for various hair textures up to 204 degrees Celsius. Finer and thinner hair would not need the higher heat that coarse, thicker hair requires, reducing the heat damage you inflict on your strands. There is also a Turbo Boost setting to add bursts of heat for difficult-to-style spots.

Multi-purpose curler: Wavytalk 5-in-1 Curling Iron Set (0.5”-1.25”) ($72.67)
Weight: 689g
If you love trying different hairstyles daily, the Wavytalk curling iron set gets the job done. The various curling wands are made with ceramic technology to create smooth and shiny curls. The wands are easily swapped with the release button and the accompanying insulated glove. The curling barrels and brush heat up instantly in 30 seconds, and curling barrels have adjustable temperature settings from 150-210 degrees Celsius.

Travel-friendly heated hairbrushes

Heated hairbrush: Tymo Ring Hair Straightener Comb ($144.30)
Weight: 390g
While the Tymo heated hairbrush costs more, it has extra functions and accessories that elevate the user experience. It has five heat settings, with the Tymo reaching 210 degrees Celsius. The brush also has a heat-resistant protective plate, an anti-burning shell and a 30-minute automatic sleep mode to prevent accidental burns. The Tymo does not produce negative ions nor has an LED temperature display. On the flip side, you get a carrying bag, two hair clips and a heatproof glove.

Heated hairbrush: Megawise Pro Ceramic Ionic Hair Straightener Brush in Gentian Blue ($68.22)
Weight: 560g
A heated hairbrush is excellent for smoothing dry hair without needing the pin-straight look that a flat iron offers. The Megawise hairbrush has five heat settings, all of which are displayed on the LCD digital display, up to 200 degrees Celsius. The nano ceramic-coated bristles emit negative ions, too.

What to look out for when picking a travel hairdryer or styling tool:

  • Voltage: There are two primary voltages used worldwide: 110-127V and 220-240V. The former includes the United States of America (USA), Taiwan, and Japan, while countries like Singapore, Thailand, and South Korea use the latter. We chose devices built to be dual or universal voltage compatible so that you do not need to pack a converter. Moreover, some brands advise against using converters for hair devices, so it’s best to use a dual voltage hair device.
  • Weight and size: Even if you are not travelling with carry-on luggage, you want your luggage to be filled with clothes, food, and shopping. The lightweight and compact models that were picked for this list will still get the job done.
