type of person, you need a travel hair dryer and if you pick the right one, you might never go back to your full-size one. I recently switched my mini travel styler for the light and breezy T3 Afar , and I was so impressed, I've realised it's all I need and you might too.

My first travel hairdryer (a little Remington model) was very simple it had one speed and one temperature, but it folded down small enough to stick in a bag with relative ease, and it was a big improvement on the offerings in most hotels.

Hotel dryers usually fall into two categories: either they blast you with a jet of desert air, or theyre so underpowered that they only wheeze warmly in your general direction. Youll usually find the holiday hairdryer in a drawer, nestled in a drawstring bag, but if youre unlucky, then the dryer might be tethered to the wall using a coiled cable like an old phone handset. Want to style your hair over by the window, in the natural light? Not a chance.

Now you can expect adjustable heat and speed to protect your scalp, and ionic technology for smoother results (the only thing flying away should be you). Opting for a travel dryer doesnt mean simplifying your styling, either. The T3 Afar is available with an optional diffuser for drying curls, and the Dyson
Supersonic Travel (which launched just a few weeks ago) is compatible with
all regular Supersonic and Supersonic Nural attachments, including the wide-toothed comb and concentrator nozzles. You may like 5 fantastic mini

The best travel dryers also offer universal voltage, so the appliance automatically adapts wherever you go. You might need to pop a small plug converter into the dryer's carry case, but thats all. (Image credit: Future) All of this comes in an appliance thats small, lightweight, and tough enough to survive being thrown around in a suitcase. Theyre so good, in fact, that after trying the T3 Afar, I realized that I simply didn't need anything else.

A travel hair dryer has advantages at home, too particularly if you live in
a small apartment where storage is scarce. Having only a travel dryer means I can stash it in my nightstand rather than leaving it out, and the Afar has a handy cable tidy to keep everything neat, too. No more tangled cables for a hungry robot vacuum to try to swallow.

Finally, if you're still not convinced, travel dryers are usually less expensive than their full-size counterparts, too. The Dyson Supersonic Travel is $299.99 / 249.99 / AU$449, while the standard Dyson Supersonic Origin is $419.99 / 279.99 / AU$599. The T3 Afar is $199.99 / 159.99 (about AU$280), while the bigger T3 Airluxe is $224.99 / 199.99 (about AU$320).

Next time you're looking to replace your hairdryer, you should seriously consider making it a portable one. Your hair and wallet will be happier for it.
