Do I need this converter for hair straighter or is some good adapter enough?

First of all it depends on the country or state 2ndly also voltage being used. you can look at it and determine if its the right plug

It has a 3-prong plug so you may need a plug adapter (I don't know what type of plugs are common in India). If your wife's hairdryer can handle 220V then it should work fine. If her hairdryer is only compatible with 110V then it will probably get fried. It seems that most of the newer ones are compatible with both 110 and 220.

You will need a converter for the charger. We have used this to shave the whole head and also the dog.

Yes, this is what I use it for as I have fine straight hair. Also adds good volume. Best flat iron I have tried... blows Chi away.

Yes, it should work very well with a straightener. Just plug the straightener into the adapter and the adapter into the wall outlet.

Yes. I have plugged in a hair-straightener, blender, electric beater, etc. As long as wattage doesn't exceed 2300Watts, you're fine. So just be careful if you plug in a few devices at a time.

Yes it would. I bought it to use for my hair straighter. You may have to buy an adapter for the plug in India. It come with a European plug.

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.

Just use the correct "plug" for London outlet; the straightener will automatically use correct voltage

It would be fine for any kind of straight hair I would think. Or if you want to straighten curly hair. It just doesn't work with a diffuser.

You need to think about two things when you travel. A converter and an adapter. This step down is a converter that is no longer necessary as it steps down your razor, and small digital items like your camera, your cell phone, your iPad. We found that all of these small items manufactured in the last 4 years have a built in converter. Read the plug on your travel items. It will tell you if it has a built in converter. Next is the adapter. This inexpensive piece connects to your electronics to match the holes in Brazil's wall receptacles. I would suggest this from Amazon: Adapter Plug Brazil A, B and GUZ. Hair Care products are a whole different animal. I suggest purchasing in Brazil if necessary. Hope this helps you.

Yes, I just got back from Europe (and used this straightener) where you only need the plug adapters (available in corner shops in all larger towns in Europe, in case you didn't bring the correct one).

Yes Karmin Hair Straighteners will work worldwide as they are dual voltage. They now also come with 3 adaptors. 1 UK Adaptor, 1 EU Adaptor and 1 Adaptor for Australia. You can also check the karmin.ca website for the correct details.

I'm not an electrician but I believe you can use it if you use a universal converter . People who travel to other countries use their appliances along with this converter. The converter is a small pronged adapter that plugs into your UK outlet and you plug the US hair tool into it.

I'm not sure, but I used it in three different hostels for my iphone, ipad, camera and chi hair straightener and had no problems. I had a different converter for when I went to china and it blew up my phone and straightener! This one was way better, and obviously for Israel.

I was in Europe, using a converter I bought from Brookstone, and fried my last Wahl trimmer. It was an expensive mistake. I recommend using a local Barber.

Used hair dryer in London.. Very heavy over a pound. Comes with replaceable 5 amp glass fuses to protect delicate computers. My guess is yes. Bring a 10 amp fuse in case. Converter is a beast, should handle a fan cooler.
