Since American outlets operate on 120 volts and European outlets operate on 220 volts, this is key.
(The same goes for yourflatiron or straightener,blow-dry brush, orcurling iron.)
We also tried them on a variety of hair types including curly, straight, coily, and wavy.

Its super powerful, but doesnt get overly hot or too cool.
In short, this baby is coming with me on my trip, without a doubt.
Absolutely notand this drugstore pick is proof.

It also folds, which allows you to throw it in a carry-on tote or bag.
You kind of cant beat it for under $40, saysGlamours Kilkeary.
This is the only dryer Ive tried that actually delivers on both.

The attachments click in without any effort, too, and Ive found them both to be very effective.

The lightweight six-inch diffuser strikes the right balance between portability and performance.
I dont typically travel with a dryer, as most of them are so bulky and heavy.
This is always irritating, since I have curly/wavy hair.

The Curlsmith was a nice surpriseit folds!
And its so lightweight (a little over a pound).
I imagine this is really nice if you have a heavy mass of curls to cradle in its head.

I liked that at its highest setting, the dryer never got super hot and burned my scalp.
I lost patience after 20 minutes and let the hair around my scalp air-dry.
Still, my resulting curls were defined and less frizzy than when I let them fully air-dry.

Its lightness, foldable body, and sizable diffuser are winning features, as are the results.

Ionic Compact Hair Dryer
Sephora
This ionic compact dryer helps combat frizz and has a powerful wattage of 1,875.
This blow-dryer is lightweight but a bit larger than Id prefer for travel, making it feel somewhat bulky.
That said, it gets the job done, saysGlamourcommerce producerLeilani McQuay.

I do appreciate the three attachments it came with, as they add versatility.
Next time Ill be using a frizz-control product for a smoother finish.
Glamours Kilkeary is also a fan of this compact pick.

I love how tiny but mighty this dryer is.
I was able to dry my hair in around 20 minutes when it usually takes closer to 40.
Something it did that I didn’t expect: it completely killed myfrizz!

My hair was soft and velvety, and had little flyaways compared to my usual frizz-ridden look.
(Its also one of thebest hair dryerswe tested, period.)
Not to mention you dont have to sacrifice quality when going for this compact dryer.
