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

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

Attachments: Concentrator nozzle, diffuser
