The Best Travel-sized Grooming Tools to Cure All Your Beauty Issues on the Go

Courtesy of respective retailers

Traveling, or rather packing for a trip, poses a major challenge for women — how do you take all of your beauty essentials without bringing an extra bag? Sure, you may think that a hair brush or an epilator won’t take up much space, but then you add a hair straightener, a blow dryer, and a curling iron, and your carry-on is suddenly at half capacity.

That’s why it’s always a good idea to invest in a few travel-size beauty tools. Bad hair days — which, if you’re traveling to some place humid, are a given — always call for a styling iron or a thermal brush that you can use to quickly fix your hair.

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by the salon for a mani-pedi session before you jet off on your holiday, consider bringing with you a portable nail dryer and a pedicure tool that will help you keep your hands and feet picture- and sandal-perfect.

Here we rounded up the best travel-size beauty gadgets that will help you look your best regardless of what part of the world you are flying to. (Just make sure you remember to pack a travel adapter if you're going abroad.)
