Just after spending a good lot of time flat-ironing your hair to poker-straight perfection, you step out the door and that’s when humidity bursts your efforts into a ball of frizz. And you’re stuck in hair hell. Get to hair heaven for the remainder of summer, for upcoming autumn and for that last-minute holiday with mini flat irons.

TIGI Professional Mini Flat Iron Straightener, £39.95, is take-anywhere, touch-up heaven. Perfect for your fringe, short hair or getting to your roots, you’ll get the heat you need to straighten your locks and save space in your bag.  For discount divas who want their minis in many colours, stay straight and be spoilt for colour choice with Corioliss Mini Irons, £29.95 (RRP: £35). And remember, just because they are mini doesn’t mean they don’t get hot so make sure they cool down before you drop them in your bag.
