Styling your hair while travelling is annoying. If it’s not having room in your suitcase, it’s a lack of easy-to-reach plugs once you get there. Who wants to spend a romantic weekend with bad hair? The Fudge Cordless Straightening Iron can solve your holiday-hair problem easily. Advertised as a ‘handbag accessory’ for its small size, it’s also wireless, so even at home I am free to walk around the house, straightening my hair.

I like to figure out how much things weigh in comparison to other things so if you own an iPhone, pick it up now - that’s pretty close to the weight of my Fudge iron.

The Fudge really is a great travel iron and not just because it’s small. When you open up the box it comes with three different plugs, EU, UK and US, plus a rechargeable battery and that’s not all! If you own a car (which I don’t) you even get a cigarette lighter attachment so you can charge it up on the way. Great for roadtrips and for heading off to outdoor festivals.

The Fudge iron takes two hours (120 minutes) to charge and will give you 90 minutes of straightening time. With ceramic elements which take less than a minute to heat up, the Iron also gives you the option of 3 different temperatures – 150, 180 and 200 – all of which are colour coded if you happen to be using the Fudge iron in the dark.

Despite being wonderfully small, it does annoy me that I can't lock the iron shut after use. It’s fine at home, but if I’m rushing to leave a hotel room it means dropping a hot iron into my bag. It does come with a large elastic band to put over the end to keep it closed, but if you’re like me you’ll lose that in days.

The Fudge logo started rubbing off within a day of use. Not a huge problem in the scheme of things but a bit cheap.

The Fudge iron doesn’t straighten my hair as well as my current, larger and non-wireless iron does. My hair is quite fine so it’s not such a bit issue but if your hair is very thick, this is probably not the straightener for you.

So my final verdict? It’s cute, small enough for my handbag and I would definitely take it with me on my next holiday
