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.
OK. I think we'll add to our collection of international hair straighteners.

We have adapters. The problem seems to be that the appliance is a wee more powerful than the wattage the adapter likes - 1750 vs 1600 max. Please don't crucify me for my lack of electrical understanding - I'm a good accountant but no engineer.
