This wiki has been updated 11 times since it was first published in January of 2019. Thanks to wireless curling irons, gone are the days when bad weather could wreak havoc on your hair and leave you hiding under a hat. Nor do your tresses need to suffer simply because you accidentally overslept. These handy, portable styling tools can bring your locks back to life at work, the gym, on trips, or anywhere else you go. Our list contains choices for various preferences and budgets. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Conair ThermaCell Compact

When your hair's been the victim of a windy day, the Conair ThermaCell Compact (around $22) will come to your rescue, as its hard, pink storage case can be stowed easily in your purse or car. Its 3.25-inch-long wand is ready to go in seconds, and it cools down quickly as well.

A space saver on trips

2. Gospire Mini

The ceramic Gospire Mini (appx. $28) produces negative ions to seal the cuticles, which in turn strengthens your tresses. Just plug it in for three hours, and then take it anywhere you like for up to 30 minutes of working time to create either a straight or curly look.

3. Conair MiniPro

With the Conair MiniPro (around $19), you can still have bouncy locks even if you rushed out the door, and it reaches 415 degrees for quick touch-ups or for curling your entire head. To get the most use out of the gas cartridge, simply unscrew it from the wand after you’re done styling

The Conair Travel Smart (about $21) heats up in a flash, and its butane cartridge lasts a long time, so rest assured it’ll see you through a lengthy vacation. Rather than waiting for it to cool down, you can just slide on the safety cover and slip it into a drawer or your handbag.
