If i can use my flat( hair straightener)iron in India do i need to use a converter, adapter or something?

If the voltage for your straightener is 220V then you will be fine. If not, you need to use an adaptor to change the current from 220V - 110V. This is easily available in any electrical shop in India, so you wouldn't need to carry it on your journey.





Alternatively (and this could save you some cash), go to a beauty parlour and let them do the hard work for you =).If i can use my flat( hair straightener)iron in India do i need to use a converter, adapter or something?
yes if you are getting your irons from USA then you have to buy a transformer to convert the Voltage from 230 V to 110 V...





Be careful before plugging any electrical appliances purchased in USA and brought to India.........If i can use my flat( hair straightener)iron in India do i need to use a converter, adapter or something?
i dont know, what are the electrical outlets like in india?
If your flat iron is dual-voltage, it will say so on the label. It might have a switch you have to flip. If it is, an adapter should be fine, but you're taking a risk. I blew up my hair dryer that way, but it was cheap and could have just been ready to blow anyway.





Your best bet is to use a transformer, which is a huge, heavy, expensive thing. It plugs into the 220 outlet and converts it to 110 power.
It depends what your voltage and plug is on the straighteners you have.


From experience of taking straighteners to foreign places I have found them to not work as well as at home due to the voltage changes etc..


Could you not go Au natural whilst in India?


Have a look on the link to see if your country has an adapter for India.
It will be cheaper to buy a straightner in India - $5 and give it away when you leave saves you on carrying a wrong type and you will give happiness to someone. Voltage is 250 volts and it is round pin plug two or three pins
