I need information about hair straighteners and dual voltage (US to UK)?

I am visiting friends in London for my winter break and had been planning to buy an American hair straightener. However I am hesitant to do so because of travel and the fact that my parents live in continental Europe. I need to know if it is possible to buy a hair straightener that only needs an adapter and works successfully in either America %26amp; UK, America %26amp; Continental Europe or just UK %26amp; Continental Europe. All information appreciated esp. personal experience -- as someone who travels a lot I try to avoid the appliance question at all times because have heard too many horror stories (fuses blown, etc). Ideally, would buy straightener that works (WELL) in all 3 of these places with only an adapter. Thanks for your time!!I need information about hair straighteners and dual voltage (US to UK)?
Conair has what you might be looking for. I have taken a curling iron with me overseas and it works great. All you need is a plug adapter.

I haven't looked at straighteners but I know they make blow dryers with a switch on them for either 110V or 240V. For most choice, you probably need to go to a shop that specializes in beauty products.
You might be best to leave them at home and purchase one at Boot's, a drug store chain or Tesco a chain similar to Walmart, the cost if you buy an inexpensive one about 12 pounds, about $20 AM $.
i had all my appliances from the USA brought over when we moved to europe, unfortunately NONE of them work without a transformer (adapters are onlly good for NON heating stuff) if you run a heating product with an adapter it burns out ( i did it) its better if you get a cheap one when you get to UK as it will be cheaper than buying one home and having it burn out and then you end up having to buy when when you are in the UK anyway, thats 2 being bought anyway so just get 1 when you arrive
