Hair Straighteners

[Ian Mcc]

Can anyone advise please, wife has GHD hair straighteners, will they work normally in the US with an adaptor given the different voltage

Hi Ian

The GHDs that I had earlier this year worked in the USA fine. I have heard of some that don't work but they were the older models.

My sons girlfriend had some with her on our last trip. They did work, though took a long time to heat up and no where near as hot as normal. As the voltage is less there, you only need a plug adapter.

My daughter tells me exactly the same as Shirly D. They do work but take a lot longer to warm up and don't get as hot. She bought straightners (not GHD) whilst over there and takes them over with her when she comes over with us. I guess thats fine is you are goind to be a regular visitor but for the odd trip I guess you will be able to manage.

It all depends how old the GHDs are. The newer models come with dual voltage so work fine in US.

I have heard that some don't work, we bought some and left them in our villa for guests to use in case their don't work.

Ok guys thank you all for your help

I use the MK4 GHD straighteners and they work brilliant in Florida - take a little longer to heat up but do work!

My wife had this problem. You're best bet is to go to Walmark and get some US ones.
