Why can't this be used for hair straighteners? What is different about them?

What is the rated wattage of the hair straightener you use? Consumed wattage of the hair straightener should not exceed the rating on the travel kit or the converter may be damaged.

Your hair straightener will work with this travel converter as long as the maximum draw is below 1600 watts and the converter is used for a maximum duration of 15 minutes at a time.

The last two answers are good. What is the wattage draw of your hair straightener (or whatever electrical appliance you want to use)? Does it exceed the capabilities of the converter? Actually you should allow a 10% safety factor. So if the converter was rated at 1,000 watts don't use anything that draws more than 900 watts.

Yes you can curl hair with it, but it depends on the type of curls. I like mine to look like natural big curls and this straightener does an excellent job of that

I have heard from others that any hair straightener works fine. I personally have their straightener, that's how I got introduced to the oil.

I don't see why not. I haven't used mine for those reasons, however in days gone by I've used the converters to run my hair dryer (in the days when I had hair)!!!!! Perhaps someone else will have more recent experience. Good Luck

My wife has naturally curly hair, so that is the main reason she uses this device. She asked my to add that it would be better to get the model (or option) with a round brush, not the comb-like one that came with it. She also finds the power on/off button awkward to find while using this item. A larger and better placed on/off switch would be an improvement, but this is still her main all-purpose hair straightener (if that's the right term).

As far as I know, any straightener can be used to curl, but I do recommend this particular straightener because of the keratin plates on it, it keeps the hair healthier.

It can be used to straighten heavy curly hair. It also polishes and shines the hair. Most likely a 2 inch would work the best for your hair.

Not sure if it will work. It didn't work with me under 220V with my hair straightener . Sorry

I'm sorry, I have never tried. My hair was always dry and I no longer have the straightener. I tried to buy another (would have been my 4th) but they were unavailable at the time. I highly recommend it though!

I tried using a hair straightener on it so that I could redo the curls, but it wouldn't straighten and I didn't want to go to a higher heat in the case that it could melt the wig. You can still use a curling iron on it(On the lowest setting, of course) and it helps to make some nicer curls on the wig.

It is not the voltage in this case, it is the wattage. Hotel 115V outlets that are meant for razors only have the power capacity to support razors, nothing more powerful, and a straightener uses a lot more power.

I do not think this small hair dryer is made to be compatible with other accessories.

My wife tried to use a hair straightener in Italy. It is 110v stepped up to 220v. Unit got very hot and began to smoke.

I purchased it to smooth out my wavy hair. It doesn't straighten hair like a flat iron.

I'm pretty sure it's main purpose is for heat protection. However whenever I use it, it does leave a shine to it as well. It's like a two in one. I use it everyday with my chi straightener and it works great!

Absolutely you can...they have refill packs...maybe on amazon? and yes on ebay too! I love this steam setter...it's the only thing that works on my hair and actually stays in. Plus no funky need to add salt?? and it's not hard on your hair like a hot iron! Enjoy

Can't really say. I have never heard of a dryer that is better suited for straightening curly hair. My understanding is that it is a matter of having the right technique and proper use of a brush dryer and the right gel or conditioner. I think this dryer is good for any head of hair. It has 2 speeds and 3 different temp settings and runs smooth.
