If you’ve been called on a business trip out of the country,Travel Hair Straightener Articles or if you’ve decided to take a vacation overseas, you need to remember that your straightening iron won’t always match the electricity systems of your destination. American and European systems are different and straightening irons are designed to work in a specific country. Most of them can’t handle voltage converters and they can even self-destruct! If you’re going to travel and require a straightening iron, make sure to find one that is designed to work at your destination. Look for dual voltage straightening irons, that way you’ll only need one to work in both places.

So, if you’re an avid traveler then take a look at the countless mini models on the market which are ideal for popping into your bag to ensure perfect hair no matter which country you’re in. There are full sized irons which are dual voltage, meaning that they’re designed to work perfectly at home and at your destination. Although most women prefer travel sized models to save them the hassle and the space in their suitcase. These mini traveling irons are usually only 6-7 inches in length and are perfect for carrying around in your bag for a quick touch up anytime and anywhere. Most of them (if not all) come with soft travel bags for storage and if you have a travel straightening iron without the bag you can always purchase one on its own. Keep in mind that as these straightening irons are smaller they don’t have the space for all the features a full sized one has, but as long as it achieves what you need it’s a perfect traveling companion.

However, compact travel straighteners are incorporated with a number of advanced features so as to increase their utility and efficiency. The most important features when choosing a straightener, whether full sized or not, is an adjustable heat setting along, a professional swivel cord, comfortable handles and a good warranty protection. Travel straighteners also come with different types of plates so you can choose one which is made out of pure ceramic, titanium, tourmaline or a combination of ceramic and tourmaline for the best and safest straightening results.

Travel straighteners are designed to make hair straightening and styling just as simple as it would be at home but without the big size and the heavy weight. So why not invest in a travel hair straightener and take your own personal stylist along while you’re out of the country?
