Please note that you may be facing more than one problem.... its not only getting an adapter that will make you able to plug in the darned thing... there is also the matter of voltage. Is this hair straightener thingie 110-240v compatible...? If you are using a 110v unit in Vienna, where current is 220v then you have a problem.....

If your hair thingie is multi voltage, then I suggest you shop online for one of those world adapters that have just about all the plug and outlet configurations possible... its a sound investment.
