A converter weights about 30 pounds.

PP here, can you post it on the facebook marketplace or somewhere and sell it so I can buy it second hand?!

I feel your pain, OP. I have dried my hair with my Revlon round drying brush basically every.single.day. since I bought it in 2020. It is the best thing ever. The few times I've thought that I'll just run it through the regular dryer, I quickly remember why I don't use that anymore. Comparably, it looks terrible. We are headed to Greece in September and I have not even started troubleshooting this first world problem yet. Will be following this thread.

My experience traveling overseas is that I can use my home hair iron (becuase it had a temperature knob so I turn down the temperature if it is overheating), but that blow dryers blow out. I generally rely on hotels having hair dryers.

This is pp — I want to clarify that I used an adapter and a converter both times.

Ditto on this. I just bought one in SA super easy.

I brought mine to Italy - you need a voltage converter.

It will not work as strong as in the US.

If it’s dual voltage you should be fine. You will only need an adapter and not a converter.

Fried an electric shaver overseas. It wasn’t dual voltage. I forgot where I was and plugged it into my plug adapter and it fired up for a second then died. You definitely need a converter and not a plug adapter. That said, even the converters seemed to have mixed results. Probably the safest is to just buy a 220 dryer and save it as part of your overseas kit.

I had the same experience.

I now straighten before I depart, which lasts me a couple of days.

The rest of the trip I just deal with the fluff I get from a standard dryer.
