What do I need to use my Revlon hair dryer overseas?

[Anonymous]

Buy a cheap one overseas or use the hotel hair dryer. If you use yours, you are likely to fry it then have to go to my first option.

My converter won't run my hair dryer. I bought a dual voltage dryer for travel

I got this one for travel. Not as good as the Revlon, but better than a plain hair dryer. I just use a lot of product to compensate, and have to wash every day.

Quickest and easiest way is to buy a cheapo dual voltage hairdryer and then use it with an adapter.

Voltage converters are unreliable and don't work as well. They are also bulky.

You don't step down from 120 to 220; you step UP. Just purchase a revlon or similar there. I'm sure you'll look just as unattractive as you do in the US from your description.

No, don’t use it overseas.

Did saying that make you feel better about yourself?

Nice ada[ter but it does noting to convert the power. This and a US spec hair dryer will likely mean a fried hair dryer.

My revlon dryer started sparking and smoking when I used it with an adapter in Germany this past fall. Lesson learned!

Mine sometimes does that here! It seems to overheat easily, so definitely not likely to do well on a converter.

Use what is available to you where you're going and embrace looking less perfect.

+1. What you need is a transformer. It's a metal box about the size of a large shoebox and weighs like 18lbs.

IF you are staying in a hotel in SA they may have a hair dryer. Or buy one when you get there.

I bought a Revlon brush for Europe on amazon.fr and they shipped it to me from France. It came with a UK adapter.

DP. I bought that one too for our trips to Europe. Definitely not nearly as good as the Revlon, but it was ok.
