We all have that one vacation photograph in which our hair shows visible signs of betrayal. Think: Monica’s bird’s nest in the Barbados episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. So, it’s safe to say that holiday hair nightmares are real and definitely not the stuff of flattering vacay pics. When you’re on the road, your hair needs a lot of attention, but no, you don’t need to pack all those cumbersome beauty tools to keep it in place. Don’t worry, we aren’t asking you to get cornrow braids or wear hats though. Simply pack your vacation bag with these travel-sized beauty tools. These nifty appliances will work even if you’re travelling to a humid country (hello, Frizz!) or if you plan to stay in the pool a lot (hello there, Dryness!).
