Even if you are just going for a day trip where you don\u2019t need a large travel case, a good mini hair straightener will easily fit in your purse.<\/p>\n
Top Rated Mini Hair Straighteners In The UK<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve put together a list of the 8 best travel mini hair straighteners you can buy today. To choose the best ones, size was important. All our top picks are cute little but powerful straighteners. For the international travelholics and business travellers among us, we have included universal voltage straighteners that you can use anywhere you go.<\/p>\n
While all the following options are great, the first two are my personal favourites. They are lightweight and compact, easy to use and they provide almost salon-quality styling.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0ghd V Gold Mini Styler<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/41xcjNJwVL.jpg\")

Its ghd so you know it\u2019s good. This mini styler has a smaller and lighter body than the usual ghd straighteners. But its compact design doesn\u2019t affect performance at all.<\/p>\n
The ceramic plates heat up quickly and evenly, providing professional-quality styling in just a few minutes. The narrow plates allow more precise straightening down from the root of the hair to the ends. The smooth plates prevent snagging and help you work through your hair quicker.<\/p>\n
And if you want to create beautiful curls or waves, the contoured plate edges do a great job of it.<\/p>\n
It has universal voltage so you don\u2019t have to worry about using it abroad.\u00a0Read my full review of ghd V Gold Mini<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Produces smooth and frizz-free hair in no time.<\/li>\n
- Includes two protection features; a protective plate guard and auto shutoff.<\/li>\n
- Compact and lightweight, making it perfect for any travel situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n2.\u00a0The Cloud Nine Micro Iron Hair Straightener<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/313Ytgx0gHL.jpg\")
<\/a>\n >> Click to see price on Amazon<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n <\/p>\n
This is the smallest hair straightener from Cloud Nine. It\u2019s not just great for travelling; it also comes handy for those with short hair that is hard to style with a bulky flat iron.<\/p>\n
The straightener has only one heat setting, not a surprise for a mini straightener. To make up for the lack of temperature control, you get a luxury travel case along with the straightener. The case is heat-proof so you can place the straightener in it without waiting for it to cool.<\/p>\n
There is also a hibernation feature where the straightener automatically turns off if left on for too long.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- It\u2019s compact size makes it perfect for travelling.<\/li>\n
- Great for use on short hair and areas like the nape of the neck and fringes.<\/li>\n
- Travel case included.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n3. New Babyliss 2860 Pro Nano Mini Salon Travel Hair Straightener<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/51DRKi019RL.jpg\")
<\/a>\n >> Click to see price on Amazon<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n <\/p>\n
The Pro Nano also lacks temperature control; you only have one option. But it quickly heats up to 200 degrees for a quick and effective straightening. The smooth ceramic plates produce a soft smooth finish, effortlessly eliminating frizz and kinks.<\/p>\n
As for size, the Pro Nano perfectly fits its name. It\u2019s small enough to fit in your purse. And if you are travelling to a different country, the straightener is multi-voltage. So no worries about compatibility or buying an adaptor.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Can be used worldwide.<\/li>\n
- Compact and lightweight.<\/li>\n
- Salon-quality styling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n4.\u00a0Elie Mini Travel Hair Straightener<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/41Akh402pJL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nIf you are looking for a good hair straightener to carry around with you all the time, the Elie mini straightener is perfect. You can carry it in your purse when going to the office or pack it in your travel case when travelling.<\/p>\n
It quite small (20cm long), definitely not designed for everyday use at home. But it\u2019s perfect for quick styling touch-ups when you are on the road.<\/p>\n
It uses smooth ceramic plates to give your hair a sleek wavy look and can be used with all hair types. It heats up in seconds and when you are done, you can immediately put it in the travel heat resistant pouch.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Perfect for travelling.<\/li>\n
- Ideal for all hair types.<\/li>\n
- Fast-heating ceramic plates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n5.\u00a0BaByliss 2860BAU Pro 200 Nano Mini Straightener<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/31QU77hX0sL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nIf not for anything else, get this mini straightener just for its hot pink colour.<\/p>\n
But the BaByliss Pro 200 Nano is more than just the style. It has smooth ceramic plates that quickly heat up to 200 degrees for a fast and effortless styling.<\/p>\n
Measuring 16cm in length, it is smaller than the Elie mini straightener. So if you are looking for an ultra-compact travel straightener that you can carry around in your purse, try this one.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also multi-voltage meaning you can use it just about anywhere without compatibility issues.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Extra small, making it great for travelling.<\/li>\n
- Great style.<\/li>\n
- Ceramic plate technology for fast and even heating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n6.\u00a0Remington S2880 Unisex Mini Straightener<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/41Kcs0WONLL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nThis one is even shorter than the BaByliss Pro 200 Nano at just 15cm in length. There is clearly no shortage of extra mini straighteners for traveling.<\/p>\n
The Remington Straightini also has a maximum temperature of 200 degrees and no option to change it to a lower setting. But 200 degrees works well for most hair types. It\u2019s hot enough for thick hair but not too hot that it will damage weaker and thinner hair types.<\/p>\n
It includes a heat-proof pouch that allows you to store the straightener safely even when it\u2019s hot.<\/p>\n
One unique feature is the Teflon fibres coating the ceramic plates. Teflon provides a protective shield, preventing damage especially for those with already damaged hair.<\/p>\n
It also has a tourmaline coating which contains negative ions that give your hair a smoother and more vibrant look.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Tourmaline and Teflon coating for enhanced styling.<\/li>\n
- Extra small and light.<\/li>\n
- Unisex design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n7. \u00a0BaByliss 2581BU Pro Cordless Straightener<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/310xA1BD9nL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nIf you are planning to go camping, hiking or a weekend festival, I highly recommend this straightener. It\u2019s small enough to fit in your bag but even more importantly, it is cordless and gas-powered. It uses a portable gas energy cell to create a small flame that heats up the ceramic plates.<\/p>\n
The straightener heats to a maximum of 215 degrees and comes with automatic temperature control to prevent overheating.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Cordless, making it easier to use.<\/li>\n
- Ideal for outdoor travel.<\/li>\n
- Salon-quality hair styling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n8.\u00a0Jinri Titanium Plate Mini Flat Iron<\/a><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.haircareclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/41V7Z1FpAvL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nWhile ceramic plates are the most common in flat irons, titanium plates are also considered great for hair straightening.<\/p>\n
The Jinri flat iron uses titanium plates that heat up quickly and evenly to provide professional-quality styling. It heats up to 210 degrees.<\/p>\n
The rounded edges of the plates make it easy to create curls and waves. An extra-long 9-feet swivel cord means you can style your hair without straining.<\/p>\n
What we like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- A long swivel cord makes the straightener easy to use.<\/li>\n
- Curved plate edges for curls.<\/li>\n
- Titanium plate technology for fast and even heating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nKey considerations when buying a travel mini hair straightener<\/h2>\n
The 8 straighteners we chose are just a few among the dozens available from many different brands. Even for us, it was a challenge to sort through all the marketing buzzwords and unnecessary bells and whistles to find the best travel mini hair straighteners.<\/p>\n
To make it easier for you when shopping for a travelling hair straightener, I\u2019ll give you the cheat sheet we used when picking the best. It\u2019s a lot of the most important factors to consider when comparing among different mini hair straighteners.<\/p>\n
One thing to note about mini hair straighteners is that they generally have fewer features than full-fledged varieties. So don\u2019t compare between a full size ghd and their mini one for travelling. It\u2019s a classic case of apples and oranges.<\/p>\n
For instance, a normal flat iron usually comes with temperature control. You can choose low, medium or high heat setting. Mini straighteners often have only a single heat option. Mini straighteners may also not be as effective for certain hair types, especially thick and long hair.<\/p>\n
Just remember that these compact flat irons are not designed to give you a perfect hair job. They just provide enough straightening to keep your hair looking good. But depending on the straightener you buy, some come close to salon-quality styling.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why it is important to know what to look for when choosing the best mini straightener.<\/p>\n
1. How travel-friendly is it?<\/h3>\n
There are several features that matter a lot when determining how travel friendly a mini hair straightener is.<\/p>\n
The most important one is size. Make sure that it\u2019s actually a mini hair straightener. It should be between 15cm and 20cm in length, small enough to fit in a purse. If you have thick and long hair, go for a slightly longer one (around 20cm) that can easily handle your hair. If you have short hair, a small and narrow one is best. It will allow you to straighten out kinks with more precision.<\/p>\n
