This post will help you decide whether to take your hairdryer with you when you next go to the airport. You can bring a regular hairdryer on a plane. You can pack it inside your checked baggage or inside your carry on bag as hand luggage. You can also check the relevant section of the TSA website here.
As always, the final decision about your hand luggage always lies with the TSA security officer at airport security.
Considering that cordless hair dryers are terrible and usually only blow cold air this battery exception is irrelevant for most people but I thought it was worth mentioning it just in case. In some cases hotel rooms allow you to borrow one from the reception. Often a simple phone call to your hotel or wherever you are staying could allay your fears and lighten your load.
Another option might be to ship it. You could pack up a box with all your hair styling equipment, shampoos, and styling products and ship it to your hotel room. It would be waiting for your when you arrive. You will have no problems with security taking a hairdryer in checked luggage. Make sure you pack it well and surround it with some padding to protect it. The downsides are checking luggage sometimes costs extra.
It can cost more than the price buying a cheap hair dryer at your destination. I usually recommend flying carry on only for convenience and saving money. But if you someone with a lot of heavy hair styling gear then you might just need to check a bag. Hairdryers are not small and they typically weigh around 2 lbs. If you have a match or a competition abroad and you need to fly to get there, be careful.
As a general rule, you will most certainly have to put your equipment in the hold. When it comes to what you can take on a plane, this is the case for most sports equipment, including tennis rackets, walking sticks or crampons. All these objects are not allowed to come in the cabin with you. The only exception is a sports parachute, which is allowed on board.
As with sports equipment, most work tools and equipment are not allowed in the cabin. So if you happen to be a designer, painter or carpenter travelling, the hammer, nails and paint spray will have to go in the hold. Planning on bringing a few cans of tuna on your camping trip? You will also need to put your tent in the hold those tent poles can be dangerous. All hazardous materials, pointed or sharp objects, and weapons revolvers, firearms, pistols, rifles are also prohibited.
Rockets and fireworks are also banned in the cabin, in all forms. This seems obvious for real rockets, but much less for bang snaps the little, snapping gunpowder bags kids usually play with. And that also includes traditional Christmas crackers — that sliver of gunpowder inside the festive wrapping makes them a no-no on board. Before you pack and set off for the airport. This is likely to be fine, but you need to notify your airline in advance to avoid any issues. Unfortunately not. If every passenger did this then the airport would be filled with items waiting to be collected.
