Hair dryer travel power guide

Hair dryers are often single-voltage and high-power, so a plug adapter alone may not be enough.

FrequencyCheck device label
Before you plug in: check both the destination socket type and the input range printed on your own charger or appliance.

Plug shape and voltage are separate checks

A travel adapter changes the shape of the plug. It does not convert voltage. If the device input range does not include the local mains voltage, do not rely on a simple adapter.

What should I look for on the label?

Hair dryers are high-power appliances and may be single-voltage. Check the voltage switch or rating plate before packing it. Look for the stated input voltage and frequency, then compare them with the destination supply.

Device-specific check: High-power appliance: if the dryer is not rated for the destination voltage, do not use it with a simple plug adapter. The adapter does not convert voltage.
