Can you take flat iron your hand luggage?
Luckily the answer is yes, you can bring a hair straightener in your carry on bag. If you’re traveling with checked luggage, you can pack your hair straightener there as well. That way you’re not putting it directly into your luggage while it’s still hot, which could burn your clothes or other items in your bag.
How do you use a flat iron for the first time?

After you start to get really comfortable handling your hair iron, then you can try some more interesting things, like beach waves with a flat iron.
When should I flat iron my hair?
Your hair is at its most fragile when its wet, so wait until it’s completely dry before you get to straightening. Another option: Once your hair is about halfway dry, blow-dry it the rest of the way, then flat iron.
Can I put my flat iron on a towel?
Always place your straightener on a heat resistant mat, clean non-flammable countertop or on a heat resistant stand such as the Heat Resistant Flat Iron Stand from HSI Professional. The goal is to avoid placing flat irons on carpet, towels or other materials that could melt or catch on fire.
