Travel-Sized Blow Dryers

Drybar's Baby Buttercup is a Hair Dryer Made for On-the-Go Styling

— August 10, 2016 — Fashion
Following the success of its full-sized Buttercup blow dryer, Drybar has released a travel-sized dryer called the Baby Buttercup. Although it may be half the size of the original, this bright-yellow dryer is just as powerful.

While Drybar is mainly known for its blow dry salons, the chain has also found success with a line of high-end styling tools. The latest addition to the brand's product lineup is the Baby Buttercup, which is designed for on-the-go styling. Like the original Buttercup blow dryer, the travel-sized version features ionic technology that helps to promote shine and reduce frizz. The dryer is also equipped with a 1250W DC motor for ultra-quick styling. However, the most impressive feature of the Buttercup Baby is its lightweight design and flexible head, which folds down for maximum portability.

Sold with an adorable "I'm full of hot air!" travel bag, this compact dryer is ideal for consumers who are looking for an alternative to hotel hairdryers.
Trend Themes
1. Travel-sized Hair Tools - The release of travel-sized blow dryers like Drybar's Baby Buttercup highlights the trend of portable hair styling tools for on-the-go convenience.
2. Ionic Technology - The inclusion of ionic technology in travel-sized blow dryers presents a trend towards hair dryers that promote shine and reduce frizz, even in compact sizes.
3. Lightweight and Portable Design - The emphasis on lightweight and foldable designs in travel-sized blow dryers suggests a trend towards maximizing portability and convenience for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Salon and Haircare - The salon and haircare industry can capitalize on the demand for travel-sized blow dryers by offering compact and portable versions of their hair styling tools.
2. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can explore partnership opportunities with travel-sized blow dryer brands to provide guests with convenient and high-quality hair drying solutions during their stay.
3. Manufacturing and Design - The manufacturing and design industries have the opportunity to innovate and create lightweight and foldable designs for various household and personal care products, taking inspiration from the portable blow dryer trend.
