When I’m traveling, I don’t fuss with my hair quite as much and I use less makeup.
I would love this!!! Very nice!
My looks mean more to me now that I am getting well past the youthful glow stage. I would love to have this to add a quick fix to my hair. Still like it a little long.
Wow great for traveling or the dorm
When I am traveling, I really don’t spend as much time with my hair, I like to wash and go.
when i’m traveling i tend to take shortcuts – this would really help
I have super curly hair, and travel light so I often don’t bother bringing my straightening products with me. So if I’m away, I tend to just go natural.
when traveling I like not to waste time on hair and make up so I can see the sites
When I travel I don’t spend alot of time on my hair all I do is comb it and brush it and I’m done.
austma7@aol.com
I streamline my makeup to avoid “melting”.
I imagine that if I win this I’ll give it to my girlfriend because I am not only a man, but I have very short hair that is working on balding! So yeah I hope I win cause my girl would love this!
I do a lot less when travelling…and stick to basically one hair style
When we go on vacation, I tend to go with a more natural look. I pack the minimum makeup I need & usaully just wear a ponytail.
On vacation I streamline my beauty regimen, hardly wear makeup, and quickly do my hair. Great little giveaway.
Would love to have this for travel – going on a cruise for my 40th in July and would love to have this when we dress up at night for romantic dinners.
I like to change up by beauty routine by switching up my makeup and hair each night. I feel like a new person!
When I travel I just do everything simple. I leave my hair straight and wear little make up. Leaves me more time for what I’m there for:)
I don’t fuss with my hair.
I take just what I absolutely need and always use the travel sizes — THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY !!!!!!
My beauty routine is very simple when traveling – just tinted moisturizer and a swipe of lipgloss. I don’t really style my hair, just brush it and spray a little bit of anti-frizz stuff in it.
When I’m traveling I usually just let my hair do it’s own thing as long as doesn’t look to bad.
This would actually be for my wife so I can’t relate to the question.
I usually pack two in one shampoo/conditioner to save on space.
usually a ponytail and sample packs of shampoo
I’m in a lot of pony tails when I travel. So much easier than taking all of the time on my crazy hair. Thanks for sharing~
When I travel I normally wear my hair natural and hope I get to it with the in room blow dryer before it turns wavy. This is why I NEED a mini flat iron! I also skip the hairspray and rely on my tiny little 1oz travel size of this wax like stuff to tame fly aways!
When I’m traveling I like to find the nearest Sephora and find a new beauty product! Or, get a new fragrance…and it reminds me of where I’ve been whenever I wear it.
When I am traveling, it is typically a ponytail and very little make up. I’m usually traveling to relax, not to fuss with my hair!
I usually do minimum hair and makeup while traveling. Just enough so I don’t scare anyone. Thanks for the chance.
I wear my hair up more when on vacation.
When traveling I tend to downsize in products and use less makeup unless there is a real compelling reason not to. ie I always wear a moisturizer with SPF but would likely only wear some soft color on top of that, one eyeshadow instead of two and lip gloss.
I usually let my hair go curly when I travel. With this cute little straightener, I wouldn’t have to.
I pack the Olay fce cloths- they don’t spill and make a mess!
I try to carry less when I travel so I keep my beauty routine simple. I pull my hair back or let it curl a little as that is quicker and easier. I also pack the miniumum I need for all products.
tend to wash and go, i try to travel light!!!
would love to win this great product; i don’t own a flat iron! I usually throw my hair in a ponytail on vacation but bringing this flat iron along will make my hair look fabulous.
I take a little extra time on myself when I travel. I make sure my hair is neat and in place.
I stick with my regular makeup
When I’m traveling I do the least I can with my hair!!!
When traveling, I tend to just stick to one hairstyle, instead of having all kinds of options like curling/flat ironing/air drying. Thanks for the contest!
OOHHH this would be perfect for when we go on vacation! I hate bringing all the large irons, etc. This would be great!
I don’t usually straighten, but might if I have the right tools.
When traveling I spend less time on my hair and my makeup.
When traveling, I take all my samples with instead of my regular make up, and shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, etc. This keeps everything lightweight and disposable
when traveling my hair is usually up and i do not wear as much makeup
I only take the basics with the makeup and plenty of ponytail holders.
My is pretty much wash and go during the whole summer…dab of mascara and lipstick and it’s GO time.
When I travel, I tend to simplify my beauty routine a lot. Just doing the basics, and yes, I would not bring a flat iron because mine’s a bit bulky. But now, I don’t have to worry!
Thank you very much for this giveaway!
When traveling I usually only bring one color of eyeliner (instead of the 5 or so choices I have at home). Everything is paired down to be compact and just one color choice for my eyeshadow for the few days or week I will be gone. My hair I usually don’t use as much product.
I don’t change my routine when I travel. I still do my hair and make up as usual.
When I travel, I try to keep it simple. One set of jewelry, one color eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc. Minimal.
When I am traveling i only bring one makeup bag with items for two different looks….a natural look and an evening look.
When I travel, I go light! Lip gloss, pony tails, sunscreen and moisturizer. Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
Take trial size products to use when I travel.
I take smaller shampoo and conditioners to save space in my suitcase and to follow airport regulations.
when im traveling i tend to only take the things i absolutely NEED! Mascara, lipgloss, shampoo!:)
everything is smaller! I don’t bring my big brush or my big bottle of shampoo. I leave my heavy hairdryer at home and I go au natural!
Well, it depends where I’m traveling. My absolute favorite place to be is Hawaii, so if I’m there, I mainly just use sunscreen of at least SPF 50, and I put it on every square inch of skin!
I take sample sizes of shampoo, conditioner, etc.
I don’t! My routine is simple and uncomplicated.
When traveling I tend to go very easy on using any beauty products, when you are out all day and especially if it’s hot out, you don’t want to be sweating make up, the lighter and fresher you can be the better. =)
MovieMomma@gmail.com
OMG this would be perfect! During traveling, especially in the hot summer, my hair gets really puffy and frizzy in humidity, so having this would make having pretty hair s much easier! This is compact and easy to carry and would fit in my travel bag with my straightening serum and shampp/conditioners
Thanks so much!!!
I usually curl my hair every day, full makeup, casual dress, etc. However, when I’m traveling, I do the absolute minimum in regards to makeup and dress (flip flops is my ideal way to travel). I tend to wash my hair and let it just go however it wants to. This flat iron would be perfect. It would minimize the time I normally spend on my hair and still give me some style. Thanks for the great giveaway!
When I travel, I don’t usually have room for the blow dryer, curling iron, and/or flat iron, so up in a ponytail it goes!
Actually, my hair gets more care when I travel than not! When I’m in a hotel, I use the hair dryer and mousse. When I am home, my hair air dries while I comb it into shape!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m trying to organize and downsize. I like that takes up little space.
I always get hair extensions before i go away on vacation.
I usually just stick to face power and mascara and let go of the rest of my makeup.
When I travel I do thesame as I do at home
I usually just put my hair in a pony tail.
I travel light and only bring makeup i need. As for hair, I put everything in travel sized containers,I leave my hairdryer and flat irons at home.
I usually try and pack as little as possible. So basic make-up, moisturizer, and bring small bottle of shampoo. At the same time I try to look as good as possible with as little as I can use. This means wearing my hair curly because how high maintenance it is to straighten it. I’d love to be able to straighten it.
wow, great contest
I try not to! I pack what I usually need for my daily routine!
I change up my beauty routine when traveling by using hair accessories. I love wearing different headbands to coordinate with my outfits and also various clips to create fun looks!
When I travel, I usually travel with sample sizes to lessen the load. I like to wear more makeup and dress up a bit more.
Usually when I travel I wear a little less make-up and like to do my hair a little more simple.
When I travel, I have to throw all my hair product and tools in a separate suitcase. I can’t live without my flat iron!! Quite honestly, I’d rather bring a flat iron over makeup! I have super coarse, frizzy, curly hair and styling it can be daunting! I could have so used a travel flat iron on my birthday last year. My boyfriend was too cheap to valet the car, so he made me walk five blocks in the rain
I had no umbrella, and I had to use the hand dryer to dry my hair. Needless to say, my hair eventually dried, but looked like a poofy, frizzy mess! A travel flat iron would have definitely saved me!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you… for the giveaway and the Shout Out!!!
When I travel… it is usually to Mexico. UGH>> humidity and frizz. I usually try to flat iron my hair, but it doesn’t last. I think with this flat iron I will have a chance at beautiful hair on vacation.
Headbands and ponytails are a great easy way to go. But I still take my flatiron, which is a must.
I also pack travel sizes of all of my products. It is great with three small kids.
I always try to wear easy harirstyles when I’m on vacation so I have more time for fun.
i do the easiest thing i can to my hair when we are on vacation…….i dont usually have a lot of time to fix it…….
Everything has to be small to fit in a small bag
When I travel I usually braid my hair after washing it so I don’t need to worry about styling it. A mini flat iron would be great though.
Er, I normally don’t change my routine at all–but maybe I should?!
when i travel its ponytail city!!!
When I’m travelling, I use a minimum of makeup, and keep my hair in a pony tail so I don’t have to deal with it.
When I’m traveling, I go bare minimum with beauty and keep in mind weather changes.
I try to pack several different sets of jewelry and hair care supplies!
Thanks for entering me! Great Contest!

I bring less stuff with me, so i have to improvise
I have never seen one that small cute nice giveaway thanks!
tishajean@charter.net
I’m pretty simple when I travel – I usually just let my hair airdry and keep it curly because a blowdryer and straightener takes up too much room, and I’m really simplistic on my makeup as well because a makeup bag is bulky as well. Thanks!
When I travel, I usually bring hair clips to keep my hair out of my face if I need to look nice. Otherwise, I just put it in a ponytail or bun and don’t worry about it.
The simpler the better. I use sample sizes of everything. I get rid of them while I travel, and there is less to take back.
when traveling, I don’t give myself as many choices for my hair and makeup…..
When I travel, everything I take is in miniature..I like to pack light. I am always looking for great alternatives…this sounds great!
don’t have a beauty routine when travelling
When I travel I pack minimal makeup and hope the hotel has a hairdryer!
smchester at gmail dot com
When we travel I try to pack lightly. So I usually go as natural as possible including my hair. I love that this is small enough to carry with us.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.
When traveling I usually place my hair up in a scrunch and relax.
My sister would love this. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Hi! That flat iron looks great! I actually tend to improve my beauty routine when traveling, because I have more time to focus on my face and hair. Plus, when I travel I often go out and dress up! This flat iron would be perfect!
I pull my hair up so I don’t have to mess with it to much and I take travel size bottles of shampoo&conditioner with me.
When I’m traveling, I stick to simple makeup–usually, I bring a multi-use palette with neutral shadow and blush shades. I also make sure my lipgloss has SPF in it, as I’m usually spending a lot of time outdoors! As far as my hair goes, when I’m traveling, I tend to let it airdry and twist it up into a casual bun for day. Then, come evening, I have loose pretty waves when I take the bun down!
Way cool!! I could definately use this as much as I am on the go! Thanks for the contest!
I still bring all my beauty products. Especially a flat iron if I’m traveling to hot and humid places!
I try to minimize my routine when traveling. I like a simple, slicked back ponytail at the nape of the neck. Simple and chic!
I either have to pack less or drag my huuuge straightener with me. this would be so cool to win.
I usually have to pack less than I normally use at home and this makes styling a little more difficult.
I NEED THIS!!!!!!
I try to style my hair more when I travel so I like to curl my hair in the evenings
I definitely wear less makeup-it’s such a hassle to bring tons with me, especially if I’m flying!
I take facial cleaning clothes instead of my usual regimen, wear less make up and usually wear my hair up so I don’t have to carry a bulky blow drier and straightener.
I usually tie my hair back when we travel.
When travelling, my beauty routine is not as complex (because I’d have more time at home); basic make-up, one hairstyle, etc. Thanks for the chance to win the wonderful giveaway!
When traveling I take less varieties of makeup and only the necessities like blush, foundation and eyeshadow!
kngmckellar@hotmail.com
Honestly, I don’t change it at all. I feel incomplete if I do.
when im traveling i wear a ponytail or braid
When I am on vacation, it is a la natural.
I change my beauty routine while traveling because at home I have a huge amount of products and makeup that I’ve amassed over the years. I can play around with different styles and ideas and colors. When I travel I only bring with me the bare essentials so its not as much fun and I don’t get much variety in my look.
When I travel mt hair in always pulled up in a ponytail. And I wear no makeup
I’m a guy so my routine is really the same at home or traveling. I always look at what my wife has to go through to get ready and how much harder it it when we’re traveling and I’m glad its easy being a god.
When I travel I travel light. No extras.
When I travel I don’t bring as many hair or face products as I would rather spend the time doing other things.
A travel Iron would be great. Sheryl
This Hana Mini Flat Iron would be the first thing tossed into
my bag for an overnight jaunt…
i don’t change it up must, except for i always forget something so i have to make do!
autumn398 (at) yahoo.com
My beauty routine changes when I am traveling because I don’t have all my supplies so I go with what I bring. I also seem to spend a little less time getting ready because it is more relaxed and I don’t wanna mess with it.
ilovebabynoah707@yahoo.com
being able to compact this down, i can put in my purse and wont have to dig out a suitcase, great idea
I change it simply by not having a beauty routine when on the road! That’s what getting away is all about…
I have one of those beauty eye-masks that I only use while traveling, strangely.
Travel doesn’t make any difference to my routine.
I miniaturize everything! Travel size face wash, lotion, sunscreen, even blush. I also accept that I will have to use the hotel dryer but I bring my flat iron to make up for that. An amazing mini flat iron to add to my travel beauty routine would be like the frosting on my cake!
I hate packing so I only bring the bare necessities, nothing extra. And you should see my prouct collection. You would be surprised.
I definately pack less of everything. The airlines have so many restrictions. I take less hair products. If the hotel has a hair dryer I’ll use theirs. I try to bring all my facial products with me in travel size. There are somethings you can’t live without.
I usually end up keeping my hair in it’s natural state (wavy) when I travel just because I hate dealing with the hassle of using the provided hair dryer, and I never pack my own since it takes up too much room. This would be great!
When I travel my beauty routine in general is very toned down. I hate taking all that bulky stuff with me.
When I’m traveling, I need to make sure everything is just right.
I definitely bring less make-up and hair products when I travel.
I lug all my hair stuff with me
Less make-up when traveling and quick touch ups to the hair!
I don’t travel often but when I do, I change my routine by keeping by my side cosmetics that have more than one use (ex: fat balms that can be used as blush and lipstick) and I tend to just leave my hair in its naturally wavy state because I HAAAAAATE dragging around a ton of hair stuff!
When I travel I do much less grooming! Just wash & dry my hair and curl a few hairs in the front. Also very little makeup or matching jewelry,etc . I always figure I won’t see anyone I know and after all…I’m supposed to be on vacation!
I’m pretty much a wash & go kind of girl most of the time. But my hair often looks terrible when I’m traveling, so this would be small and easy to take for quick touch ups! Thanks.
When we travel I don’t bring all my hair stuff as there just isn’t enough room~So this would be perfect to take with! Thanks for the chance
Even when I travel I try and keep up on my beauty routine but it is really hard. One thing I discovered is a traveling curling iron, its heated by a propane cylinder. I learned the hard way to check it and not bring it as a carry on but other than that its really helpful. That’s why I’d like to win this flat iron. It would be great for travel.
Amazing for travel – great for my bangs!
When I travel I try to keep it as simple as possible. Usually using the blow dryer at the hotel or just letting my hair air dry and then stick it up in a ponytail or a bun. Makeup is also minimized, no muss, no fuss. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
When I am traveling, less is more. I don’t usually bring any make up with me when I travel.
My entire beauty routine is changed up when I travel. I bring only the basics with me, 1 of everything I need instead of having my usual arsenal of products to get creative with everyday. But, when I am on vacation I also tend to care less about how I look, so having just the basics with me is fine. As long as I can wash my hair and dry it when I am away, and style it so it looks great, I am good to go. I wear lots less makeup and only use it to when we go out at night. If my hair looks good, I feel confident, and when I am traveling I am more concerned with spending time sightseeing and making the most of our time wherever we are than how I look, except of course if we are taking pictures! I would love, love a flat iron so I can get even more creative with my hair styles. Thanks so much for the chance to enter.
At that point I go au natural, I do the minimal, ‘glowing’ kind of look when I”m traveling. It usually works for me!
nice!
I don’t fuss with much when on vacation.
mercsmercado at yahoo dot com
I really don’t change my routine, other than instead of washing my hair every day, I wash it every other day.
When I am traveling, I don’t have as much time or space as I want, so I usually wind up just running a comb through my hair. Thank you for having this giveaway.
litefoot873 (@) hotmail.com
I wear little to no makeup if we are on a trip in Florida or somewhere else hot. It’s just easier and better to wear something light with SPF added and a little mascara and lip balm.
When I go on vacation, I use less make up, but I do fuss with my hair more because of heat and humidity.
Would love to win this!
I sleep in my make-up to save time in the morning.
I am a hair fanatic-when I travel I want my hair to look NICE!
When I am traveling, I put my hair back so I don’t have spend alot of time on fixing it. Thanks!
When I travel, I streamline my beauty routine and products packed as much as possible! I like to travel light!
i would be able to pack so much more since this would be so little. now, i would be able to not only bring this mini straightener, but i would be able to bring a curler and a crimper.
When I am traveling, I normally put my hair up in a ponytail because a straightener takes up too much room, so this would be perfect for me!
I don’t really change it up too much except for bringing new samples of different products and treating myself to more faciala and bath products
I usually have to get braids in my hair before going on any trip. and if I change up anything, its usually the style of the braids. It would be nice to wear my real hair for a change without having to worry about packing my roller set. Thank you!
When I travel it’s usually to warmer destinations so I change my hair stlye by keeping my hair up most of the time to stay cooler.
lisalmg25 at gmail dot com
I really don’t change my beauty routine a whole lot when I travel. I do enjoy the idea of getting ready in a hotel room that is less cluttered than my bedroom!
I refuse to bring anything valuable in my luggage anymore, knowing it’s liable to be stolen in the airport. So, I wash and wear the hair, mostly walking around with a ‘fro on vacation from all the frizz going on. Ugh. This would be a lifesaver!
I stick to simple.. nothing fancy
When I’m traveling I usually have alot less time to get ready, so I don’t get to blowdry my hair and usually end up leaving the room with no makeup on.
When traveling, I stick to the basics make-up wise and usually opt for simple hairstyles too.
I hate how my hair gets super frizzy when traveling. (i have curly hair) so I straighten it since its stays silky straight!
Wuold LOVe to win!
THanks!!
I usually don’t do too much to my hair when traveling — just comb it and pull back into a ponytail.
I take trial size products and samples to use when I travel. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
a hair brush and blow dryer in the hotel room works wonders awesome giveaway
Especially if I’ve flown somewhere, I opt for trial size bottles of shampoo, conditioner and hairspray and leave my regular brands at home. I also pack less makeup and usually only bring my mascara and cover stick along with me.
When I travel I usually have my hair done professionally and wrap it up @ nights so i dont have to mess with it!
i dont put on blush
When traveling , I go with simple styles because I don’t carry much product.
When I travel I stick to a simple hairstyle since I have
to limit what I carry with me.It comes down to a travel dryer
and a headband
When I am traveling I blow my hair straight ( I have natrually curly hair)so I don’t have to be bothered with it. I just use the flat iron to keep it smooth.
Great product you can take any where
my oldest daughter would love something that she is in the pre-teens
I change up my beauty routine when traveling by using travel size products.
when I’m traveling I carry trial size products and sample packets. I also wear my hair put up with a clippy , it’s a quick solution and I can make my hair do look quite nice without alot of fuss.
Due to regulations and physical limitations (on what I have room for and can readily carry), I downsize and minimize wherever possible. That typically means just packing what I determine to be my “necessities”.
I usually straighten my hair; however, when I travel it is pony tails all the way. I don’t look very put together but it is the best I can do. I overpack my clothes, so there isn’t much room for anything else. This would be wonderful to have!
I straighten my hair,and if there is any humidity, my bangs start to curl = the doo is ruined. The Hana mini flat iron would be a godsend, as it is small enough to carry in my purse = Perfect hair.
Vacations are for relaxing. In this regard I am a true minimalist. Thank you for the opportunity to win this.
When I travel, I usually bring lots of headbands and hairties so I can just keep my hair up. I wouldn’t need to do that if I had a mini straightener!
rlgrady[at]yahoo[dot]com
I try to bring as many travel size items as I can so this mini flat iron would be perfect!!
Thanks for the contest!:)
i have to take less and use less..makeup,lotions etc etc
I never spend a lot of time with my hair. I’ve always chosen styles that are wash and go.
When I am travelling, I tend to just throw gel in my hair and go with the natural look as opposed to straightening since it takes up space in my luggage. I always pack light so I don’t have to check my bag so I try to leave unnecessary things behind! Though that mini flat-iron wouldn’t take up much space, I love it! Thanks!
I stash all my shampoo and makeup freebie samples in my travel bag. It’s a great way to try out new products, and I don’t have to mess with transferring my regular products to airline approved containers.
I would leave most of my makeup and haircare items that take up space at home. I would use the shampoo and other beauty items that are supplied by the hotel. You can even get free toothbrushes at some hotels.
nothing changes.. i take my arsenal of supplies with me
I am the same about my make-up & hair when traveling as I am when I am not traveling
I try not to use anything that will make it more frizzy when I am traveling. I usually add a de-frizzer to the routine.
Very nice
Oh Wow ! At last !
I’ve been waiting for a small flat iron for so long. So very tired of carrying my “giant” size flat iron with me when traveling. How it will change my traveling ? I’d have perfect hair every day … what a treat !
I don’t bother with straightening my hair when I travel.
I wear my hair up a lot more when I am travelling because it is just easier than fussing with it all the time.
Hats are my best friend when I travel. It’s hard to get my hair right without all of my stuff.
I bring a lot of hairspray and use more than if I were at home.
While traveling I bring headbands and ponytail holders. That is my quick fix.
I towel dry and throw up in a bun.
I try to cut down on the amount of products I use/need – not always easy!
Let me start that my mother always said to have an outfit and a hairstyle that would fit any occasion you were in. When I travel I wear neutral clothes and I wear my hair in the most neutral way possible in a ponytail. It can be a nice well groomed ponytail or bun or it can be a messed up ponytail or bun. My makeup I keep it simple. eyeliner,mascara and lipstick. Jewelry I try not to wear any. maybe a pair of small diamond earings with a diamnod neclace and that is all. Keep it fresh, simple and very pretty.
