Will this work for a straightener bought in China and that needs to be used in the US? So, does it convert from Chinese to American? Thank you!

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.

This flat iron hair wand works on 110v, 60Hz. Hope this helps. If you are planning an overseas trip this, and other electrical products like hair dryers, will require adapters which you can buy at Best Buy and other stores, probably amazon.com also.

The plugs are pretty much standard with all converters. The converter is the main piece to the puzzle. This is thecomponent that reduces the line voltage from 220V to 120V , the U.S. Standard for hair dryers, curling irons etc.

No you do not. Any straightener will do. The hotter the better. If you have one with a higher temperature it would be best but it is not necessary to have a fancy one. I used the one I have had for a long time and it worked great.

I got this directly from what it says in the manual that came with it, "Plug the straightening iron into a standard electrical outlet (120V)." So like the person before me said, 110V would be correct.

it can be used in the United states, since it comes with an adapter for other countries. You can also change the electricity to 120 or 240. That is why I love this hair dryer.

I'm not sure what you are actually asking but I am guessing that you are wondering if your chi will work in place of a keratin coppola straightener iron. The smoothing system works with any iron that heats up to 430 to 450 degrees,the plates are floating plates, titanium, and coated with ceramic. If the product is used correctly, then there is no concern for damaging your iron. Follow the manufacturers instructions to the letter, especially the towel blot and the 100% dry...when drying the hair. Good luck and I hope that helps.

your american appliances would have to have dual voltage.This just makes the plug fit the wall not convert the voltage. phone chargers work well, dual iron may overheat, and i just bought a hairdryer/straightener over there because I go often

No it does not work on hair straightener at all I tried that and did not work. You need a more powerful converter for dryer and straightener

I do not yet own this product but I believe that you can buy a voltage converter and plug it into that. I have used USA products in India via this method. It works with some products but it did not work with a hair iron. You just have to try it I suppose. Buy a good quality converter though.

Not sure. What kind of power is in use in the Phillipines? If the outlet is like Europe's (recessed) you will need an additional adapter - the pins on the back if the converter are too short (this is actually a safety consideration. If your hair straightener is rated over 1600 watts or if you plan to have it plugged in for over 30 min. I'd recommend NOT using this device. Check power specs on the straightener - some might be able to run 120-240 volts 50-60 Hz. Might have a switch on the device. If in doubt contact the manufacturer of the straightener. Sorry I gave you more questions than answers but that's the best I can do in this case. Not sure. What kind of power is in use in the Phillipines?

I had the same problem and used cord to turn it on and off. When I burnt it out traveling overseas I replaced it with same one anyway. It's a shame because it's a great straightener. Maybe company will help if you contact them. I never tried.

This product is made in Japan. Over the years, I've had and bought several both for myself and as gifts. My hair is not straight, and I want it to be without the efforts of multiple irons. There are two kinds....one with a separate attachment for curling, another for drying hair straight and styling. I am simple. The downfall would be the instructions. Not written in English. Also, try not to overheat, it bends the bristles over time. Would I buy again? No issue. Love it!....I keep a spare for travels.

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.

This item is an ADAPTOR not a converter. It adapts the pins of electrical outlets to match different configurations. A voltage CONVERTER adapts the voltage. If your device (look hard) says the voltage is 110-240 then you only need an adapter and not a converter. In my experience, most newer devices from computers and cell phones to curling irons are "dual voltage" as stated above.

Hi there! I actually do not have this item - I returned it for a refund the next day after recieving it... I would advise you NOT to purchase this straightener. I got it in the mail, and after plugging it in for the first time, it turned on for about 1 minute then turned off. It did not heat up. I tried unplugging and plugging it in again, hitting the reset buttons on the outlet etc., and nothing worked. The company was great in the sense that they took it back and refunded me the money with no hassle, however the item itself was terrible. Who knows, I may just gotten a faulty one, but I personally will never purchase an Iso straightener again after getting one that didn't work. Hi there!
