Packing time is often complicated, regardless of the type of trip you are organizing. There is always the feeling that something is missing, or that the suitcase is too full. Often, to reduce the weight and the quantity of objects to bring, we try to choose light and compact products such as a cordless battery-powered hair dryer.
However, you need to be careful not to fall into commercial traps and make the right assessments: even if in some cases (but not always) a battery-powered hairdryer may be lighter than a traditional electric hairdryer with a cable, this does not necessarily mean that it takes up less space in your suitcase or that it is more balanced and easy to handle.
Furthermore, it may be less effective and less practical to use, especially if you have long or difficult to dry hair. In fact, the performance may not be optimal and the results may not be satisfactory compared to a professional hair dryer.
Both for the short duration and the low power of the battery-powered hair dryer. Before purchasing products of this type, it is important to carefully evaluate your needs and preferences, always keeping in mind that weight and size are not the only factors to consider.
In this article we will compare battery-powered hair dryers with traditional electric hair dryers with a cable, and we will give you all the tools to make an informed choice.
Corded Electric Hairdryer vs. Battery-Powered Hairdryer: Advantages and Disadvantages
There are several advantages to using a corded electric hair dryer over a battery-powered one. Let's look at them together.
1. Power
First of all, cordless hair dryers are not generally considered professional and often cannot guarantee the same power as a corded electric hair dryer. In fact, this type of hair dryer usually does not exceed 600W, which makes it less effective in drying hair.
2. Battery life
The battery life may not be enough to complete a styling, which represents a limitation in terms of comfort and practicality. It is therefore better to opt for a corded electric hair dryer that guarantees a perfect styling without time limits.
3. Convenience
Cordless hair dryers are designed with the sole purpose of being light and small. So, unlike electric hair dryers, they often have handles that are uncomfortable to hold, very short and stubby. This, combined with the fact that it could take much longer to dry your hair due to the low power, causes pain in the hand and fingers.
4. Hair safety
Most battery-powered hair dryers do not allow you to adjust the power and temperature of the air, resulting in lower performance. In addition, they are almost never equipped with protection technologies, such as the negative ion technology developed by Parlux on its electric hair dryers (even the most compact ones) to keep hair shiny and healthy.
That said, it is clear that good quality professional electric hair dryers (like our Parlux) cannot be battery powered. Current technology would require a very heavy and expensive battery to provide the 2000W needed for a professional hair dryer. Furthermore, such a large battery would have to be able to provide energy for a much longer period of time, which would represent an additional technological challenge.
This is why for those looking for a compact but at the same time professional hairdryer, the best option is still to use an electric model, with strong resistors and sufficient power to guarantee optimal results.
The lightest corded electric hair dryer models to pack in your suitcase
Without sacrificing lightness and compactness, therefore, let's see which are the best electric hair dryers that can be taken on trips.
Parlux Digitalyon®
The Parlux Digitalyon is a latest-generation electric hair dryer with cable, designed to meet the needs of those looking for a lightweight and powerful hair dryer. It is equipped with a latest-generation digital motor that offers a power of 2400 watts, allowing you to dry your hair quickly and efficiently even when traveling without weighing down your suitcase.
Parlux Alyon®
The Parlux Alyon is a compact and ergonomic electric hair dryer with cable, equipped with the advanced Air Ionizer Tech technology capable of emitting negative ions to make hair softer and shinier. Despite its high power of 2250 watts, it is light and compact, easy to handle and ideal for home or professional use.

The lightening of all the components has allowed us to create an exceptionally light electric hair dryer with a cord, ideal for packing in your suitcase. It is also equipped with all the comforts, such as adjustable temperature and power.
Parlux Advance®
One of the most compact hair dryers in the Parlux electric range, it is designed to be very light and ergonomic. Equipped with Ionic & Ceramic® technology, essential for eliminating static electricity from hair, it is environmentally friendly due to its extremely low consumption.
The innovations introduced by Parlux to make electric hair dryers increasingly compact and high-performance
In recent years, Parlux has introduced several innovations to make its electric hair dryers increasingly compact and high-performance, even in terms of lightness. One of the most interesting innovations is the use of digital motors (E-Lyon® for the Parlux Digitalyon®), which guarantee even faster and more effective drying, without compromising the lightness and manageability of the product. These latest-generation motors are also very silent, making the use of the hair dryer even more comfortable.
Another important innovation introduced by Parlux is represented by the ion technology, present on many of its models. This technology allows to reduce the frizzy effect of the hair and to improve its shine, thanks to the emission of negative ions that neutralize the static effect. In this way, the electric hair dryer with cable not only dries the hair quickly and effectively, but also makes it softer and silkier.
Finally, Parlux has developed a ceramic coating for the inside of its electric hair dryers, which allows for uniform heat distribution on the hair, reducing the risk of damage. The coating not only improves the performance of the product, but also makes it more resistant over time, ensuring greater durability and reliability.
Thanks to these important innovations, Parlux electric hair dryers confirm themselves as cutting-edge products in the hair care sector, offering a unique combination of power, efficiency, lightness and comfort.
