I’m happy to report that I have finally found the key to great on-the-go hair. And the answer, quite frankly, is far simpler than I would have ever assumed. Now I’m used to packing a whole slew of hair products and tools in an attempt to foil whatever hair-tastrophy happens to await me at my destination—humidity, hard water, bad shower pressure. I’m sure you can all relate! But it turns out I really only needed two things: Aveda’s Hang Straight product and TruLift Pro Mini Cordless Straightening Iron. This little iron is only 7.5 inches long, but manages to heat up in a matter of minutes and stays hot for half an hour without ever needing to be plugged in, which means you can use it on a plane or in your car. Its small size plays a huge part of what makes this such a genius travel tool. Besides taking up minimal suitcase space, the tiny plates allow for more styling variations. Get Camilla-Belle-pin-straight hair by pulling the iron straight, or for face-framing pieces use a more rounded motion. Plus, the ionic plates help to lock moisture in and create shine, negating any need for a finishing product. Seriously, 5-minute hair is finally a realistic goal!
