I'm going to London & want to bring my hair straightener & curling iron, what exact converter do i need?
Last year I went to London. I actually bought a converter from best buy. It was actually this same one
http://www.walkabouttravelgear.com/graphics/1004.jpg
I took my straightener and curling iron, but when I plugged it in and everything my hair straightener started to smell really strong like it was going to burn or something, so that didn't work out too well.. and now I'm going back again and want to know the exact type of converter and adapter I need!
I have a Ceramic Tools by Jilbere de paris hair straightener that is 120V AC 60Hz 200W
%26amp; my curling iron is a ConAir 120/240V AC 50/60Hz 155W
So what kind of converter do I need for these? Where can I buy one that will work with those appliances?! I'd prefer someone who has had experience with this be the one to answer, but if you know anything helpful I'd appreciate it as well.I'm going to London %26amp; want to bring my hair straightener %26amp; curling iron, what exact converter do i need?
A Universal adapterI'm going to London %26amp; want to bring my hair straightener %26amp; curling iron, what exact converter do i need?
Target has converters and the box says what countries they are for. i used my blow dryer fine but I did not try my straightener. I would be nervous if it is an expensive one because converters are more designed for cell phone chargers and the like. but i am sure the boxes will you what they can handle.
I did the same thing, I fried my US straightner, so I went to a department store and bought a staightener with an E.U. Plug. I bring it everytime I travel to europe. I have yet to find a converter that has worked w/ many of my electronics
hmm.. i dont know the answer but u can search it in google.its the best 4 u .

I've never bought a hair straightener/curling iron. Can somebody answer some questions for me?
I've never straightened or curled my hair, and im thinking about buying one from target like 20-30 bucks. 3 questions:
1. people told me youre not supposed straighten/curl your hair when its wet.. but is it okay if i just like finish washing my hair and blow dry it like 70%? Or will it mess up my hair still?
2. How about if I just wake up (where I havent washed my hair for like 11 hours and its completely dry) and straighten/curl my hair and go to school? Or does it need to be a little damp?
3. People also told me you should put a cream on your hair to protect it. Do you put it on before or after you straigten your hair? Do you also need to put the cream on if youre curling it? What cream would you reccomend? I've seen like Garnier Fructis stuff on commercials, is that it?I've never bought a hair straightener/curling iron. Can somebody answer some questions for me?
okay i dont know much but i'll try...
1. hah. if you try to straighten/curl your hair when its wet, it will make a sizzling noise like something's burning. so you usually know something's wrong. i would use special spray and gel for heat treated hair. it helps A LOT. but i only blow dry my hair about 80% too and its fine.
2. it doesn't need to be damp. actually, it shouldn't. i shower at night and get up so my hairs a little curly. it also curls better when its a little dirty :P
3. the cream? it will say on the bottle. most likely you put it on before--most are like that. usually that cream is for ';heat'; which includes curling. but you can also get curl enhancing cream and straightening cream. there's SO many kinds. but i really like bed head products.
hope that helped :]I've never bought a hair straightener/curling iron. Can somebody answer some questions for me?
okay, when your hair is still wet you need to put heat protection in it if you plan on straightening it. Your hair has to be completely dry for you to straigten it or you will fry it, and you don't want that to happen. I like studio 360 heat protection from like revlon or maybelline or something. Its in a black bottle. If you shower before you go to bed or something put the stuff in it then wait for it to dry. Then straighten it.
i dont think you have to have damp hair to straignen it. DO NOT straighten your hair when its wet because that dries it out way to much and makes it become frizzy. you put in the hair serum or cream BEFORE you straighten it if your using it to protect your hair. you can also get products which you put in AFTER your straighten it to help keep the style and minimize frizz.
1. blow dry it ALL the way. damp hair burns
2. yeah you can do that. just put some detangling spray in it to give it SOME moisture.
3. you dont HAVE to but yeah garnier makes some really good ones, so does bed head.
u can get a ';wet2straight'; straightener
wet2staright straighteners work, but it like burns your hair a little. and it smells really bad. but they work, and if you do get a wet2straight, then blowdry most of your hair. that way, it doesnt small, it doesnt burn and it leaves your hair smooth. i got on and my sister got one. so i know how they work
do not buy the ';wet-to straight'; flat iron.
it's horrible for your hair.
you never want your hair to be damp when you straighten it.it will fry it and you will end up with damaged hair.
as for a a straightener...i really recommend a chi.they are very expensive though.at least $100
if you're looking for something cheaper...def go for a ceramic plated one. sally's beauty supply sells a chi knockoff for alot less that isn't that bad.i used to use it before i got my chi.
just ask the salesperson for the knockoff chi.they'll know which one.
i hate blowdrying my hair because it's so thick and takes 20 minutes but i'll just let my hair air-dry and then straighten if i'm not in a hurry.plus it's better for your hair to take a few days off from blowdrying.
as for a protectant i really like chi silk infusion.its a serum that makes your hair silky and prevents damages and flyaways.
after blow drying or air drying...matrix vavvoom gold heat protective spray is great.it sets the style and keeps your hair from being damaged.
both can be bought at trade secret or a salon.

Its okay to have your hair a little damp when you straiten/curl It. but i don't suggest your hair being fully wet, then it could ruin the ceramic.
It doesn't need to be damp. its better when its dry.
It depends what kind of cream you put in your hair. sometimes if you buy the cheap stuff, it will make your hair worse. i suggest using professional products.
plus, i would get a top quality straitener so your hair will not be damaged over time. the 20$ ones will fry your hair.
if you straighten or curl your hair when wet it will end up frizzy. dont make the mistake of thinking the straighteners/curlers are hot so you dont need to have dry hair as they will dry it for you. they will dry it but they will make it frizzy and tatty in the process.
if you straighten or curl your hair when you wake up then thats fine, although it may be a little flat from sleeping. as long as its dry though it'll be ok
i wouldnt recommend cheap straighteners. most straighteners nowdays are ceramic and ppl think that is all thats important therefore why bother coughing up for expensive ones. the difference between the expensive ones and cheap ones is that the expensive ones are ceramic PLATED and the cheap ones are ceramic COATED. the ones that are ceramic coated will once again make your hair frizzy - even if you use them when your hair is dry! if you suffer from any frizz at all then you need a ceramic plated pair ie GHD.
if you really want to straighten your hair while wet then you can buy specific 'wet to straight' straighteners although i dont think they work very well. best thing is to just wash and blow dry your hair then straighten or curl it once its dry.
re the cream - it will give you directions on the bottle but most say put it on while the hair is wet and blow dry it.

What is the best semi-permanent hair straightener / curl relaxer and what will it do for my hair?
I have wavy, frizzy hair shoulder length hair that looks terrible if I do not blow-dry it; which takes at least 40 minutes to do. What can I do to make my hair look decent without having to always tie it back as it is very time consuming to blow-dry every day. I would love to be able to some days just wash and go.What is the best semi-permanent hair straightener / curl relaxer and what will it do for my hair?
There aren't semi-permanent chemical straighteners. When you chemically straighten your hair, it's permanent until it grows out and is cut off. Find a salon that does the CHI straightening system, but I warn you, it's expensive. It's the best, though.What is the best semi-permanent hair straightener / curl relaxer and what will it do for my hair?
There is not such a thing as semi permanent relaxer. All relaxers are permanent.
all relaxers are permannent there is no semi permanent and also you need to stop blow drying every day ok

Professional recommendations have been made on this page http://www.the411onhair.com/hair-tools.h鈥?/a> and there was something in the news saying that chi had sold it's company and the quality of the product isn't what it used to be... ghd is supposed to be of better quality than the chi nowadays
