Can I bring my hair straightener on the plane?

Question

Or to different country?

Ive brought it to another state, but can I for different country?

The plane stops at Japan and then to the Philippines.

Would they stop me or would they know what it is??

or mistake it for something else?

Answer 1

No, they dont let you bring any of those. (Blow driers, straightners etc.) They can however be kept in your suitcase but they don't let you keep it on your carry on.

Answer 2

There shouldn't be any problem, unless you take it out and strangle another passenger with the cord (J/K).

Don't bring torch lighters, liquids over 4.5 oz or gels.

Make ups are required to be in a zip lock (see through) bags.

No sharp/pointed objects.
