For members of the carry-on-only crowd, packing light can feel like a sport. In this personal challenge, nixing frivolities equals scoring points while bringing home unworn clothing means racking up penalties. Of course, going without personal items results in relying on hotel amenities at times, and when it comes to using in-room hair dryers, results can vary.
Packing a hair dryer may be the only way to go for some vacations. No one wants to be trapped in their room working with a hair dryer that isn’t quite doing the job when you could be outside YOLOing as you deserve. The struggle can be real! One hair dryer with several features that make it a good travel companion is the Laifen SE Lite.
First of all, the slim, sleek size of the SE Lite makes it a better fit for luggage than its larger counterparts. Also, the smooth nozzle is detachable, so you can decide whether or not it’s a necessary part of your on-the-go beauty lineup. With a high-speed motor clocking in at 19 meters per second in airspeed, the SE Lite could dry shoulder-length hair in less than five minutes—leaving more time for dancing, drinking, or whatever magic your trip entails.
Beyond the size and power of the hair dryer, one thing users will likely notice at first use is the length of the cord. It’s long! At over eight feet in length, the cord could definitely make it easier to maneuver around a hotel room if necessary (like, when a coterie of friends is using up all the mirror space so you have to sneak in around them).
The device has two buttons, and both are super-easy to navigate. The top one is a slider button that switches the dryer from off to low and high airspeeds, while the bottom button controls the temp. It even has a multi-colored LED light that illuminates for visual confirmation. There are three standard temperatures: cold, warm, and blue, and there is also a temperature-cycling mode accessed by long pressing the button. This mode is engineered to alternate between hot and cool hair settings to lessen heat damage.
The Laifen SE Lite comes in five subtle colors. If you’re gifting this hair dryer, you might want to to try to stalk your giftee’s socials to get a peep at the color of the luggage to coordinate. (It’s the little things!) You can purchase the Laifen SE Lite directly from their website, or at Target where there will be a discount soon. From December 13th through the 23rd, Laifen dryers will be on sale at 25 percent off at Target, including the SE Lite for $59.99.
