If you travel a lot you will probably have run into dilemmas like I have in the past, when you expect a hair dryer at your hotel or apartment, only to realise there isn’t one…or the one that is there, is so lame it leaves you with a mop of damp, frizzy hair for the evening.
If a beautiful blow dry is your preferred look when you’re on your travels, we’ve compiled a list of what we think are the 10 best travel hair dryers.
GHD Flight® Wanderlust Travel Hairdryer

BaByliss Travel Pro Hair Dryer
A good all rounder, this travel hair dryer is reasonably priced and also very good. Includes a cool shot for setting styles and is dual voltage.
4/5 “It took me ages to find a suitable travelling hairdryer and I needed one for my recent holiday. This was a bit weightier than most travel hairdryers but I went with this one as unlike many of the others, it had different heat settings and a cool shot which was important to me. I was very impressed with it and I might even use it as my standard hair-dryer as I find my usual one too heavy.” (Mrs Godden-Amazon customer review)
Pros
- Powerful
- Compact and lightweight

Cons
- Has slightly overworked, hot smell common with travel dryers
