Quick Small Appliance Question

[Nickles]

I know that you cannot bring irons with you because of fire hazards, but what about a small travel steamer? Are you allowed to bring that? Also, can I bring a flat straightening iron for my hair?

You can try; but while standing in line for the naughty room on Radiance (they wanted to look at our bottled waters) we saw a table piled with irons, steamers, curling irons, etc. The shape of a flat straightening iron might not be familiar to the x-ray machine operator so that might get through.

You should be able to bring your hair straightener, but I'd pack that in my carry-on since you wouldn't want it to get broken with the bags being thrown around.

 

I don't believe you can bring a travel steamer. Try Wrinkle Release spray, hanging clothes in the bathroom while you are showering, pay the small fee to have them pressed, or just wear your clothes slightly wrinkled ;).

I haven't had a problem with my straightener, and was even able to use it on a terribly wrinkled portion of a pants leg that my beloved Wrinkle Release couldn't get out! ;)

All hair appliances are fine. Clothing steamers are ok, as long as it's not a steam "iron"!

Just make sure it isnt triangle shaped...like an iron. My wife had one and we had to go to the naughty room for it. We were allowed to have it, but they held her bag.

Thank you all for your responses!

We take a steamer every trip. Only once did we have an issue and it was fixed quickly.

my mom carries a steamer with her for a wig and its never been confiscated. i always bring a straightening iron and i've never had a problem either. this coming cruise will be the first i'm bringing a curling iron and i HOPE it gets through, because my new hair style NEEDS it. yikes.
