Actually, my hair is already pretty curly. But I don't use a US straightening iron in Europe either. Actually, I did over a hundred mph in my Z in Nevada, back when the speed limit was "reasonable and proper".
Blew by a state trooper at , and he never blinked. But I'm saying, just because you've gotten away with something unsafe in the past, doesn't mean you should continue doing it. The round pin fit next to the adapter, in the air, but it worked. I'm not going to do that anymore, either. Nothing set on fire yet. This appliance has a polarized plug one blade is wider than the other. As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
Except for Switzerland and France some places , continental European receptacles are not polarized. I have been living in Glasgow for seven months. I did some research and ended up buying a Bellezza 4 in 1 curling iron set on Amazon via comparaboo.
It seems to me it did what it supposed to and completely satisfied me. Has anyone used it as well? I have to add to this. I'm traveling to Italy and Spain soon. I am so confused about electronics!! Will this be okay? And apparently, the flat iron I use is polarized two different sized prongs , so I should buy a new flat iron with a voltage converter? I have no intention of shopping for one when I get to Rome, so I need to do this state side. And would I be able to use both with the two-pronged plug that's been spoken of previously?
However, if it uses a switch to select the voltage, DON'T forget to set that before using the dryer. The Plugs on most if not all North American appliances are polarized one blade wider than the other , so it won't do any good to buy another flat iron as it will also have a polarized plug. Do NOT use a flat iron with a Voltage Converter, as you may have "unpleasant" results possibly involving smoke and flames.
Some manufacturers I believe Chi is one specifically prohibit use of their products with a voltage convertor. I won't bother elaborating on the technical reasons for that unless you're interested. I don't recommend using appliances with polarized plugs in Europe at all, but if you do, do not leave it plugged in when not in use.
I took apart a US hair curler with a polarized plug. First, you'll need to make sure that your hair dryer or straightener is dual voltage - many are. If your hair dryer is V or V only then it will not work in Europe with just an adapter plug. Read our voltage guide to determine the correct size voltage converter. However, we highly recommend a dual voltage hair dryer for travel because the high-power travel voltage converters for hair dryers do not work very well and are only designed to work for a few minutes.
Is your straightener or flat iron V only? If so, look at the power requirement in W watts and see if it's less than W. Many digital dual voltage devices adjust automatically. This depends on if your hair straighteners can handle the volts used in The United Kingdom : If you're using either dual voltage hair straighteners or your hair straighteners can handle volts and you have the correct power adapter then you should be able to use your hair straighteners in The United Kingdom.
Lightweight, superior heat retention and exceptional smoothness… get beautiful hair from this little star! According to TSA, butane hair straighteners and curling irons are not allowed in checked luggage, but they are allowed in carry on luggage as long as there is a safety cover to prevent accidental activation since they are a fire hazard.
Gas refills spare cartridges are not allowed in either checked or carry -on bags. To put it clearly, the Dyson Supersonic is unsuitable to be used as a hair dryer when traveling internationally. At the flick of a switch these hair dryers can go from V. The only way around this is to purchase a second Dyson Supersonic , an international model, just to use when you are travelling. Apple products, such as your iPhone , iPad and laptop, are dual voltage , therefore you do not need a converter.
You can tell if you if your electronic device is dual voltage by looking on the voltage rating on the device. Getting Bigger Anything larger than a one-inch plate is considered a large iron , and larger plates are great for thick or fine hair that's very long.
Irons can be found in 1. Of course, the size you pick is also a matter of preference. In Italy the standard voltage is V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You cannot use your electric appliances in Italy without a voltage converter , because the standard voltage in Italy V is higher than in the United States of America V.
I highly recommend buying a curling iron as you can use it in other countries and it will give you a piece of mind that you won't have to worry about the converter or the curling iron overheating. Eastern Europe is not backwards by any means but if you cannot find a curling iron then you have back up.
No, you don't need a converter , you need an adapter. If your equipment has a transformer, as all Smart Phones, Computers, and tablets have, you don't need a converter - the voltage is converted by the transformer.
European Voltage is usually , and the US is So things without a transformer need a converter. In summary, if you are traveling to a foreign country, you will most likely need to bring along an adapter. However, you only need a converter if your appliances are not dual voltage and not compatible with the electricity in your destination country.
