Traveling doesn’t mean sacrificing your hair care routine—especially when you want to look your best for vacation photos. Whether you're chasing sunsets on the Amalfi Coast or checking in for a weekend getaway, packing the right tools makes all the difference.
Let’s break down the top three travel hair essentials—plus how to make sure they’re TSA- and voltage-friendly wherever you’re headed.
1. Xtrallux Laser Therapy Cap
Why bring it?
Hair growth doesn’t take a vacation. The Xtrallux Cap helps you stay on track with your laser therapy routine, even on the go.
Built for travel: Xtrallux was designed with travelers in mind. The cap comes with a compact, protective storage case—perfect for staying organized on the road. It also includes a universal AC adapter (100–240V, 50/60Hz) and four interchangeable international plug blades, so you can charge it globally without hunting for extras.
Travel Notes:
- Cap: Can be packed in either carry-on or checked luggage.
- Power Pack (Battery): Must be packed in carry-on only. It contains lithium-ion batteries rated at 18.5Wh, which fall well under the TSA’s 100Wh limit.
- Airline Compliance: Most airlines worldwide allow lithium-ion batteries under 100Wh in carry-on bags. Always double-check with your airline when flying internationally.
Pro Tip: Store the battery in your personal item for easy access at security, and don’t skip a session—Xtrallux only takes 6 minutes a day, so staying compliant is easy even on the go.
2. Blow Dryer
Why bring it?
A quality blow dryer cuts styling time and protects your hair when humidity is high or your hotel dryer is underpowered.
Check for travel compatibility:
- Voltage: Look for a blow dryer with dual voltage (110V–240V). If it's not dual voltage, you’ll need a voltage converter—not just a plug adapter.
- Plug Type: Know your destination’s plug style (e.g., Europe uses Type C or F). Bring a universal adapter if needed.
TSA Tip:
- You can pack your blow dryer in your carry-on or checked luggage—no restrictions apply.
3. Flat Iron (Hair Straightener)
Why bring it?
It’s a game changer for quick touch-ups, smoothing frizz, or switching up your look for a night out.
Check for travel compatibility:
- Voltage: Just like blow dryers, you’ll need a dual voltage flat iron to use it internationally without a converter.
- Temperature settings: Some regions use different power strengths, so adjustable heat settings can help avoid overheating your hair.
TSA Tip:
- Corded straighteners are allowed in carry-on or checked bags.
- Cordless flat irons with lithium batteries must go in your carry-on, just like the Xtrallux Power Pack.

Safe travels and happy styling!
