Your summer vacation is your time to kick back and relax — but if you only have access to a cheap hotel hairdryer, a manual toothbrush, and a cheap battery-powered fan, you might not look or feel your very best. That's why I've put together this guide to the best travel health and beauty tech that's small enough to fit in your luggage, whatever your holiday destination.

One item I'd never leave home without is a dual-voltage hair dryer, which will have enough power to dry my hair properly, and different heat settings so I can avoid damage. Cordless hair stylers have come a long way in recent years too, and there are some excellent rechargeable options that are ideal for proper styling as well as touch-ups.

A travel-friendly electric toothbrush is essential (look for one that charges via USB and comes with a case), and it's well worth considering a powerful personal fan to keep you cool on public transport. Both Dyson and Shark have released models recently, both of which are USB-C compatible, so you can charge them anywhere. Bon voyage!
