LOVANIMini Flat Iron, Tourmaline Ceramic Small Hair Straightener, Dual Voltage Travel Hair Iron for Worldwide Use, Portable Mini Straightener with Insulated Bag

Very pleased with this flat iron. Dual voltage made it easy to use with a travel adapter (many adapters don’t convert voltage!). I used this in Spain, Greece & Italy with no issues at all. I have short hair and it worked well, took up little space in my suitcase and the case was invaluable as I could throw it in my suitcase still warm. Only adjustment was it took smaller sections of hair than my longer barreled flat iron at home. No temp control, but was not overly hot, so didn’t toast my hair. Really pleased with this travel item.

I read dozens of reviews before ordering this and concluded that experiences differ due to different types of hair and expectations. I was a little worried, but I am so glad I got it, because it worked perfectly for me. I have thick, medium textured, curly/wavy hair that frizzes easily, especially in humid weather. My hair is medium length (just touching shoulders) and starting to go grey. My goal was not to get it totally smooth (practically impossible!) but rather to get it so that I wasn't embarrassed to go out in public, with it frizzy and sticking out horizontally (Bozo-like). I wasn't at all sure that it would be powerful enough. I am happy to say that I loved it. The voltage worked perfectly in Ireland and England; you do need a plug converter. It heated up immediately, much more quickly than my regular big straightener, and also cooled off quickly when turned off. I really liked the way it could get close to my part (where a lot of frizz happens). It was surprisingly powerful. It was fantastic for touch-ups. After I washed my hair, when it is most curly, it did well; in 10 minutes, it had subdued my hair enough that I was fine going out in public. The little case is great, and it slipped into my luggage seeming to take no space. Luckily Ireland/England were not as humid as it gets in the summer where I live (where it can be really hard to straighten my hair with any straightener). I showed it to my 20-something daughter, who immediately ordered one and found it worked well on her trip; her hair is straighter and not quite as thick as mine but her standards of straightness are also higher. Anyway, this was one of my favorite travel purchases ever, and I plan to use it at home as well. Hope your experience is as fantastic.

I bought this travel straightener to take to Japan with me. It is small and packs up nicely so it doesn't take up a lot of room in your bag. It is automatic dual voltage so it worked straight out of the bag with no issue when I used it in Japan. It is not very big so you do have to go through smaller sections at a time, but it was able to straighten my 2a /2b wavy hair. Not something I would use day to day, but great for travel.

I like other reviewers was surprised by the size, despite the excellent product description. I have used it twice. Once in the US and then again in Denmark and Berlin. It is small and light. It heats up to a great temperature and does the trick whether you are straightening, waving, or curling. It takes a fraction more time but overall not a debilitating amount of time. I would highly recommend this product.

The pros: very small, compact, and supposedly adjust automatically between 120/240vThe cons: only one heat setting (on or off), you have to be mindful of where your hand is at all times, unless you have very tiny hands. I pinched my hand and fingers at least four times the first time I use this because of the design. Also, I found myself turning the straightener off on accident.There are grips further up the barrel, but it is a very unnatural position to use a straightener (using just your thumb and pointer finger high up on the straightener). I'm sure after a few tries I could get used to that. Having fine hair, I'm a little concerned about using this too often. It seems to catch at the end of my hair rather than gliding off like all of my other straighteners. Over time I can definitely see this damaging the ends of my hair, and does make the final appearance of my hair less smooth van with my regular straightener. Not a deal killer for travel, but definitely not something I would use everyday. Also, because it is so tiny you do need to use very small pieces at any given time, which does make it take a lot longer. if you have very thick hair or very long hair, I don't know that I would recommend this.All in all, this is a decent straightener for the price and for international travel. Just be aware of the negatives!

Even though I saw pictures, I was surprised at how small this is and how very tiny the heat plates are - but it worked great! I just gave it a test run before committing to taking this on vacation. It will be perfect for doing bangs and doing a little bit of cleanup. It would take a lot of time to do your whole head with us because it’s small, but it definitely works great!

It is tiny and perfect for when you need to pack light. It is "good enough" to do the job. I would not replace my regular flat iron with this- it is exclusively a travel item. But it is hot enough and good enough and just tiny so you can totally fit it into the smallest spot. I don't think you can control the temperature-- I think it is binary-- on or off. If you *can* control the temperature, it isn't obvious how (I will look more closely next time but I am pretty sure it is an on/off situation).

I wanted a small straightener to take when I travel. This works very well. It heats up fast. The heat panels are a little small so you have to do multiple sections but that’s to be expected because it’s small. I also really like the travel case. The iron part fits in one packet and the cord fits in an outside pocket so it’s easy to pack and use. I also like the heat resistant liner. After and during using the straighter, I test the hot portion on the travel cases heat resistant section of the cases close cover. This way, I know it’s cooling safely. Great product! I highly recommend it.
