Do you take your hairdryer on holidays?

Hair Romance - Do you take your hairdryer on holidays

Do you take your hairdryer on holidays?

I love travelling, and I love my hair but this can be a tricky question.

YES

Yes, you should take your hairdryer if:

  • You will be going to lots of events while you are away.
  • You’re fussy about your hair.
  • You need it for these 10 other uses for your hairdryer, or even more uses for your hairdryer.

NO

No you don’t need to pack your hairdryer if:

  • You’re staying in hotels with a dryer (though they are often terrible, you can get by).
  • You can do 30 days of twist & pin hairstyles, 30 days of buns or 30 days of braids.
  • You can get a salon blowdry while you’re away.
  • You’re on a relaxing beach holiday. Give your hair a rest for a week!

Things to be careful of:

Make note of the voltage differences in the countries you are visiting.

My hairdryers do not work in the USA so I didn’t pack them for my recent trip.

Europe is the same as Australia so I had my hairdryer with me there, but it blew the power at our rural villa in Italy! Take note in rural areas not to overload the power!

Luggage restraints

Consider the size and weight of your baggage allowance when you fly. It may be better to splurge on a salon blowdry while you’re away and save the space for a new pair of shoes.

    I’ve found a somewhat middle man for travelling hair drying issues; I pack a universal diffuser that I can attach to almost any dryer. I can have volumous happy curls, minus the excessive weight or drying time.

    I’m totally guilty of packing my hair dryer and flat iron on every vacation!

    Yes, I can not travel without my hairdryer!!!! Unless I am staying in a four star or higher rated hotel and know that they will have a hairdryer, and I can take my straightener for finishing touches!
    When I travelled to the states I bought a cheap travel size dryer which was really cheap and then I didn’t have to worry about bringing a converter!

    I tossed up whether to take my hairdryer with me just this weekend gone and I really wish I had – the supplied dryer did the trick but is nowhere near as protective of my hair as my ghd Air. In the US last year, I just booked in for blow outs!

    Good tips! I usually bring my travel hairdryer with me when I travel but for the upcoming holiday, I checked with all the accommodations I’ll be staying at in advance on whether they have hairdryers or not. So glad to know that they have. One less item to carry with me 😛
