“I checked the wattage before assuming a small travel converter could handle a hair dryer.”
— getting ready in Guam
Will my hair dryer plug fit outlets in Guam?
With a hair dryer in Guam, voltage comes first. The local sockets are Type A and Type B, but you also need the dryer’s rating plate or voltage switch to match the 110 V supply.
Guam: Type A and Type B plug shapes
Do I need a travel adapter for my hair dryer in Guam?
Start with the wall plug on the exact rating plate or voltage selector you plan to pack:
- From the US or Canada? If your hair dryer plug uses Type A/B, the shape may already match one of the local outlets. Check grounding and the exact socket before relying on a direct fit.
- From continental Europe? A Type C/Type E/Type F plug does not match A/B directly, so a plug adapter is normally needed.
- From the UK? A Type G plug does not match A/B directly, so a plug adapter is normally needed.
- From Australia or New Zealand? A Type I plug does not match A/B directly, so a plug adapter is normally needed.
- Not sure? Match the plug shape first, then compare the INPUT or rating label with Guam’s 110 V supply.
Buy a travel adapter for hair dryer use in Guam
Use a plug adapter only after confirming that the dryer itself is compatible with 110 V. Because hair dryers draw substantial power, do not assume a small electronic travel converter is suitable.
For a multi-country trip, you can compare a universal travel adapter that supports the outlet types on your itinerary.

Guam’s nominal supply is 110 V at 60 Hz.
Check the dryer’s rating plate and any voltage selector. The appliance must be set for or rated to accept 110 V; a plug adapter cannot correct an incompatible voltage setting.
Hair dryers are high-wattage appliances and are often single-voltage, so voltage compatibility matters more than it does for most small chargers.
Should I use a voltage converter for a hair dryer in Guam?
If your dryer is single-voltage and does not match 110 V, the simpler travel solution is often a dual-voltage dryer designed for the destination rather than a converter. If you consider a converter, it must be specifically rated for the appliance’s voltage and wattage.

Conair dual-voltage travel hair dryer — a simpler alternative to conversion
A dual-voltage travel dryer can avoid the need to run a high-wattage single-voltage dryer through a converter. Set the voltage correctly and use a plug adapter when the plug shape still differs.
