Hi guys,

Again thanks for your comments.

I know it's a big talking point on some forums. Women trying to decide whether to take them or not. In my mind I believe traveling light is the way to go so taking electrical things like straighteners would be out of the question!

But again if you are going away for a weekend, then fine. But if you are traveling the world is it really worth it?

Thanks,

I love my hair straightener, but it stays at home when I'm traveling…usually. It barely works anywhere else, anyway.

Siempre llevo en la mayoría de los casos algo para arreglarme el cabello! Y no genera problemas ni ocupa mucho espacio. Que tiene de malo lucir arreglado! Pienso que es posible llevarlo y disfrutar a pleno del viaje.

I wouldn’t take my hair straightener, but I take a hair dryer because it’s normally cold when I travel and my hair is long. In my defense, it is really small and dual voltage. It’s my only appliance.

amen…after a RTW trip last year I couldn't BELIEVE it when I met other girls with hair straighteners. Arriving in Europe after South America and seeing girls with high heels and make up in hostels was a total shock, and guys should not 'appreciate' girls taking effort to look nice on the road…that is ridiculous, who the hell cares?!. Shower and a hair tie.There is better things to do while traveling than look good

Well said! Of course I have little hair to speak of so I can't quite relate. Still, I sure do appreciate it when women go the extra step to look nice while "roughing it" such as sleeping in a hammock by night as was the case with Alice whom I met in Costa Rica.Alice seemed to magically deflect dirt and grime while on the road, and certainly appreciated the compliment that resulted from my observation.
