Best Travel Curling Irons to Always Look Gorgeous in the UK

The C81037 curling tong by Carmen is a luxurious option for creating beautiful curls right on-the-go. This is a hand-sized curler that can easily fit into a handbag. And since the curler features a protective locking system and comes with a heatproof travel bag, you can pack it even when it's still hot. However, the best part is that it's a cordless model that can operate up to 25 minutes, which is quite enough for 3-5 uses. Thanks to USB connectivity, you can charge and use the curler right in your car or at your office desk to get yourself ready for an important meeting or evening date. The full charge takes about 2.5 hours.

The Carmen curling tong can style both wet and dry hair, giving you more flexibility. So, if you suddenly get caught in the rain, you will be able to quickly create flawless curls even on your wet hair. You can choose from 3 different temperature settings (140, 160, and 180 degrees Celsius) to find the best one for your hair type and length. The barrel is infused with Keratin, thus, it ensures even heat distribution to protect your hair from damage and enhance its natural shine. The barrel is thick enough to let you make not only bouncy curls but beachy waves as well.

With a shiny black body and stylish gold finishing touches, this cordless curling iron looks fantastic. It's a luxurious styler for salon-quality results wherever you are. However, take a note that the highest heat setting makes only 180 degrees Celsius and might not tame extremely frizzy and coarse hair.

The InStyler IS19-PUR is a unique rotating iron that really does much more than other curling irons on the market. It can curl, straighten as well as add volume, shine and body to your hair. And all this without using extreme temperatures. It features a rotating cylinder with a brush on the side that can style your hair without burning it. The brush has two sets of bristles and when you run the curler through your hair, the first row of bristles separates your hair strands, and the second one gives your hairstyle a finishing touch. The rotating barrel lifts your hair from the roots, polishes and adds volume to it. The iron can help you create long-lasting curls that will hold up all day. It easily tames even extremely coarse and though hair without using high temperatures. This curling wand offers 3 gentle heat settings (up to 195 degrees Celcius) for all hair types. The ceramic/tourmaline barrel heats up in just 30 seconds and can be used on dry and slightly wet hair. Being just 19 mm, it can create very tight curls.

This InStyler curling iron is supplied with a useful DVD showing you how to use it. Also, it comes with a styling comb, a storage bag, and a protective cage, thus, it can be packed away when it's warm. If you need something more than just an ordinary curler, get this two-in-one styling tool for creating long-lasting hairdos.

If you're tight on budget and free space in your travel bag, the Risingmed 2-in-1 Hair Iron Hair Straightener/Curler can be the best bet for you. For less than £16, you can get a revolutionary styling tool that can straighten, curl, and flip your hair. This mini curling iron has two ceramic tourmaline plates that use infrared heat for the smoothest results possible. Your hair will become silkier and frizz-free. Even dull hair will emanate fantastic gloss.

The styler is very simple to use. You can lock two separate plates and transform the straightening tongs into a 25mm wand, using a handy switch on the body. It has one temperature setting only. Once you press On/Off power button, it will quickly heat up to 190 degrees Celcius and will remain consistent throughout the styling. It has a cool tip, so you're less likely to burn yourself accidentally.

It is a dual-voltage device with a long 2-meter swivel cord that allows you to style your hair far enough from power sockets. It's available in two vibrant colours, red and blue. We would like to note that the package doesn't include a heat-resistant pouch. However, considering the price, this is a minor sacrifice. Overall, the Risingmed 2-in-1 styler is a great pick for those who often travel light and like to experiment with their style.

The Scenstar Curling Tongs have an unusual wrap-and-go design for creating sexy spiral curls or whimsical waves. This spiral curler features a 20-mm ceramic barrel surrounded by plastic parts for ultimate results. Tight or loose curls depend on the heating time. For example, if you want to get beachy waves, you should hold your hair on the barrel for a shorter period of time (10-20 seconds), and if you want spiral curls, you need to apply the heat for a longer time (20-30 seconds). The ceramic technology eliminates hot spots and ensures that the barrel heats up very quickly. In just 30 seconds after switching the curler on, you can start styling. When the curler is on, the push button on the handle lights up blue. The handle is available in vibrant pink or purple colours.

The styler is extremely easy to use. Simply put a strand of hair in the lowest circle, pin it with a clamp, and twist your hair along the spiral layers, rotating it in an appropriate direction. Once your hair is set, the wand distributes heat evenly, making your curls shiny and smooth.

Although the MHU Mini Hair Curling Iron is only 23 cm long and has a 2.5-cm wand, it's a professional styling tool that can deliver you salon-quality results. It uses a PTC heater that replaces standard heating wires with stones or chips. The curler works in a different way compared to traditional curlers, thus, it can heat and cool down much faster. It generates only the necessary heat, which means you have less chance to get burned. Besides the higher level of safety, PTC heating system also ensures the longer service life for the curler. And the fact that it comes with a good 2-year warranty speaks a lot about its highest quality.

The ceramic barrel uniformly reaches high temperatures, repairing the hair cuticle and retaining nutrition loss. The hair slides smoothly without snagging or catching. Therefore, you'll always get sleek and defined curls. The item has a switcher that enables you to turn it on/off or choose one of two heat settings. At the highest setting, the curling wand reaches 180 degrees Celcius. For the maximum safety of use, the curler has an auto shut-off feature that will automatically switch off the device after 60 minutes of non-use. Like most travel irons, it can work within 110V-240V range.
