Actually I would bank on the hotel having a hair dryer, but buy this straightener.

I’ve destroyed two hair dryers using an adapter, having not learned my lesson the first time. Virtually all hotels have hair dryers now. You’re going to have to come up with a new hair strategy.

I lived in South Africa. They sell blow dryers and every hotel provides one.

My blow dryer almost blew up in France when I tried to use it with a converter. They did sell the revlon brush thingy in France in a store with the correct euro plug. I have no idea if they sell it in S Africa but you could try to buy one there.

Are you staying in hotels? If so, there should be a hairdryer in the bathroom.

The Revlon dryer is not dual voltage. Get a cheap dual voltage hair dryer, and just turn the screw and get a plug adapter for the country you’re going to. Embrace barrettes and clips, and go to a local salon for a blowout. You also may be able to buy a local one when you are there.

Buy an inexpensive equivalent once you're there.

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

You really need to figure something else. Wear a hat or slick it back in a pony tail.

Thanks everyone, it doesn't say that it's dual voltage...just says 120V on the dryer. I will get the converter and thanks for the link!

Is your hair dryer dual voltage? If so, just an adapter. Otherwise get a converter, but be prepared for it not to work as well.

If I don't use my hair dryer/straightener my hair will look like a mushroom. But I can't figure out what I need to buy to step down the voltage. I'm traveling to S Africa which looks like has a Type M plug/220 voltage. Can any more experienced travelers help me out with what I need to buy?
