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

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?

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 .
