Can I Carry a Hair straightener on a Flight in India?

In short

You can carry a hair straightener in cabin baggage. A corded electric hair straightener or flat iron is allowed in both cabin and checked baggage. Only cordless butane (gas) stylers are restricted — those follow the gas hair-curler rule, one per person and never in checked baggage.
