Sorry, I'm not sure. I bought it for the USB plugs. Didn't need the other plugs. I can tell you that it's bulky and doesn't sit in the wall well. Fell out most of the time in multiple locations. Was quite disappointed in this product.

I believe China uses 220 V and US uses 110 V. So if your straightener does not accept 110 V, then it won't work in the US. Check the voltage label on your device.

Your hair straightener will work with this travel converter as long as the maximum draw is below 1600 watts and the converter is used for a maximum duration of 15 minutes at a time.

My wife tried to use a hair straightener in Italy. It is 110v stepped up to 220v. Unit got very hot and began to smoke.

NO!!! Not a good thing, it would damage your machine. You need either a converter or and electrician, neither are cheap. Suggest you return it if you have the option and purchase a 120volt unit, or sell it and do the same.

Since this has a built-in converter, it should be fine, but I wouldn't put that as a blanket statement for every model of hair straightener. Mine worked fine, and I used it every day while I was in Europe.

I caint see good enough to tell if it is 110v. But, it is 1875 watt. It is a great blow drier, I love it!! Dries fast and had the right amount of heat to get the job done. My hair looks a lot better since I started using it. Most important it does not dry my hair out the ends of my hair and I have less frizz. I hope this helped

If the flat iron or hair dryer have tags or instruction manuals on them or for them with the information it will tell you what the voltage can be, if it states 110 (120) to 220 (240) then you can use them BUT if it does not state that or if there is no tags or instructions then do not plug them in-examples are laptops-mine is on the adapter clearly stating the input can be 110 to 240 and I have used them for my laptop, my phone charger has not information on it so I will not plug it into that socket adapter

I'm not sure, but I'd be careful. The UK also has different a voltage. It can support ipads, smartphones, and laptops with no problems. But if you're thinking about plugging in a hairdryer or straightener, you're better off finding one on amazon (or over at the UK) that is designed to handle the higher voltage.

This is 120 V, but if you have the transformer to adapt , I don't see why not... Hope that helped.

The last two answers are good. What is the wattage draw of your hair straightener (or whatever electrical appliance you want to use)? Does it exceed the capabilities of the converter? Actually you should allow a 10% safety factor. So if the converter was rated at 1,000 watts don't use anything that draws more than 900 watts.

If you have a proper converter, you could probably use it without blowing it up. I have used hairdryers and curling irons with a converter on 220 V electrical outlets before. Since this is not a very powerful beater, it might not work as well on 220 V.

You would need a converter, not just a plug adapter. But if it has some kind of battery charger, you can look on it and see if it goes up to 240 volts (UK-Europe).

Sorry, not sure. It says 125/250V on the arm of the hair dryer if that helps but I would check with the manufacturer. There is a switch on the handle that appears to be able to switch back and forth between those two.

The specs say it won't work with hair dryers or straighteners. You will need to find another (more expensive) model that can handle appliances with a heavier draw. The Conair TS2000 2,000-Watt High/Low Converter may work for you.

No. This converter is only for 100Watts. Your hairdryer needs probably 1000-1500 Watts. I have now clue about curling irons, but I assume it also needs more than 100 W. Look on the curling iton. It's power needs to be stated on it.You would need a stronger converter for your intended uses. Type in "converter" and the Watts you need and add 30-50% for safety in Amazon. The converter you would need will be too large for travelling!

This converter will work as long as the hair dryer wattage is less than 1875 watts.
