The Affordable Hair Dryer You Can Fit in Your Purse
The Remington Chrome Compact Dryer, $14.99, might not come with a bevy of fancy attachments, but this budget-friendly product packs an unexpected punch. The No. 1 pro? This thing is teeny-weeny -- infinitely more compact than a clunky full-size. And we were impressed by the selection of heat and speed settings, which offer something for every hair type and styling need. No extras, no folding handle, but who wouldn't love a hair tool this little?
Features: Three heat settings, two speed settings

The Lightweight Hair Dryer for Global Travel
The Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Bambino Compact Dryer, $39.95, is as teensy and lightweight as we'd hoped. It was also surprisingly powerful for its size, offering a fairly fast dry and frizz-free finish, thanks to its included concentrator. For those prone to arm fatigue and international travel, this is your pick.
Features: Two speed settings, two heat settings, dual voltage
Attachments: Concentrator nozzle

The "Oh-My-God-It's-So-Cute" Teeny-Tiny Hair Dryer
We are biologically programmed to find small things cute, so trust us when we say that when you get your hands on the miniature travel hair dryer from Chi's Ultra Chi Travel Tool Kit (which also includes a straightener and curling iron), $149.95, your heart will swell as if you were holding a newborn puppy.
When we broke out this precious gem of a hair tool, everyone in our office gasped. It's that small. Not to mention it boasts all the features of a full-size hair dryer -- even its own tiny concentrator nozzle and diffuser. Though it's not quite as powerful as tools three times its size, it's an otherwise ideal travel companion.
Features: Folding handle, two speed settings, dual voltage
