A folding dryer packs smallest: ours weigh 1.08 and 1.3 lb. A compact dryer that does not fold is easier to hold, and a hotel dryer is free but comes without a diffuser.

Yes. Hair dryers are allowed in both carry-on and checked bags on U.S. flights. The 2 folding models pack smallest: the Foldable Diffuser Hair Dryer measures 6.8 x 2.95 x 4.3 inches in its box.
For shoulder-length hair, yes. For long, dense hair, buyers of the 1600W Ionic call its airflow moderate, and an 1875W salon model will finish sooner.
