Florida Glamazon Posted September 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hello, I'm used to washing and blow drying what a diffuser every 3 days (or less). The blow dryers on ships look like the one that was terrible on a Carnival cruise a few years back. I jokingly called it the "Fisher Price Singe and Fry" dryer. If I just air dry my hair lacks volume. So I want to get a travel blow dryer of my own that is compatible with a hard plastic diffuser. Do you have a favorite model/brand that works for your hair? PS_ For curly girls out there, I just tried Cake brand mousse and curl defining cream and really like the results. Plus it smells like a lemon cake.

slidergirl Posted September 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I have a T3 Featherweight travel dryer. I've had it for at least 10 years. Love it. Dual voltage so I can take it anywhere (you have to turn a screw on the plug). The end of the barrel is the same size as the full-size dryer so it fits my hard diffuser just fine. The newer model gets so-so reviews, but I haven't had any issues. Oh my. I haven't heard anyone talk about Cake! I bought some of their dry shampoo years ago at the Cake store in Vancouver. And the Deserted Island hand cream - lovely. Some of the only products with a scent that I could handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut head Posted September 23, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2021 When I used to have curly hair (pre-chemo). I would take along a "Hot Sox" when traveling. It's a capped sleeve that fits over the end of the hairdryer and diffuses the heat. It worked pretty well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted October 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Update: Since I'm doing a little barge trip next summer, I figured I'd start looking for a travel diffuser to attempt to cut down on the volume in my luggage (trying to stay to my carry-on size bag only). First, I wouldn't recommend those "hot sox" diffusers. In my work at hotel front desks, I've had several women come up with melted "sox" and desperate for a diffuser. That is why I've just carried my hard one if needed. But, doing a little 'net research, there are now some pretty cool collapsible silicone diffusers that are full-size, but smash down to maybe 1/2 inch. There are 3 that I see on "best of" lists frequently: The Curl Co., Sindycurls and KingKam. The difference seems to be in the teeth. The one from The Curl Co seemed to have more "best" selections. For the price, I think I'm going to try one. It's out of stock on Amazon, but it seems to be in-stock on the The Curl Co website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted October 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Wife here. FYI. I brought the KingCam with me on our recent Oasis cruise. It was just a bit too small. No matter how much I tried, I could not stretch it enough to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 12, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just bring your full-sized one...you KNOW that works! Stick the nozzle into one of hubby's shoes, and it takes up very little space. BRING WHAT WORKS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
