Last updated: 7 Jul 2026Reviewed by Ms. Rubab Nizami, Lead AVSEC Faculty

In short

You can carry a gas hair curler (butane) in cabin baggage within limits. A cordless butane hair curler or straightener may be carried — one per person — in cabin baggage or on the person only, with the heating element safety cover fitted so it cannot switch on. It must never go in checked baggage, and separate gas refill cartridges are forbidden.
