Every straightener in this collection is built one of two ways: wired strictly for 220-240V overseas power, or engineered as a dual voltage hair straightener that reads either range automatically. The table below breaks down what that means at the outlet.
| Feature | 220 Volt Only | Dual Voltage |
|---|---|---|
| Runs on a US outlet | No | Yes, 110-120V |
| Runs overseas | Yes, 220-240V | Yes, 220-240V |
| Example model | Braun ES3, Braun ST710/750 | Braun ST560 IONTEC, Revlon Palm 10677 |
| Best for | Staying overseas long-term | Splitting time between the US and abroad |
Both types work throughout the same 220-volt world: Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and most of the Caribbean. Plate width varies by model too, from about 1 inch on compact travel units like the Westinghouse ZZWH1126 up to 2 inches on full-size models like the Conair CS19.
Most straighteners here ship with a European two-round pin adapter already attached, so a plug adapter, not a voltage converter, is usually all that's needed. Higher-wattage travel converters exist for hot styling tools, but results vary model to model, so matching the voltage from the start beats converting one later.
Decide whether 220V-only fits your trip or you need a dual voltage travel hair straightener that also runs on US power, then match the plate width to how you actually style.
Every order leaves our Illinois warehouse within a couple of business days, whether it's headed across town or across the Atlantic.
Snap on a plug adapter if your outlet doesn't match; no transformer, no converter, nothing else to buy.
Every hair straightener here left the factory wired for 220V or dual voltage; none of it is a US model converted after the fact. Plates run 1 to 2 inches, so most hair types are covered.
Whether you need something small enough for a carry-on or a full-size straightener for a permanent relocation, our native 220V and dual voltage hair straightener lineup handles either.
We've shipped electronics to travelers and expats since 1979, long enough to know which straighteners actually hold up on 220-240V power overseas.
Voltage, plug type, and plate width all get confirmed against your destination before an order goes out, and our team stays reachable after it arrives too.
Most run on either 110 volts US only or 220 volts, used across most of the rest of the world. Models like the Braun ST560 are dual voltage and handle both automatically.
Not all of them. Hair Dryes sold in the USA are generally 110 volts only. The ones we sell are either 220 volts or dual voltage 110-240 volts.
Yes. It automatically adjusts to European electricity, so all you need is a plug adapter to fit the outlet.
Yes. European outlets run at roughly 220 to 240 volts, so it's built for that exact range and will work throughout the region.
Yes, most of our 220-volt models, including several Conair and Braun straighteners, ship with a two-round-pin adapter for that outlet style.
No. It already handles both voltages on its own, so a plug adapter is all you need, not a converter.
Yes. It's generally the most practical option, since it works in the US and in 220-volt countries without needing a converter, only a plug adapter.
