subject: Dual Voltage Curling Irons For Travelling With [print this page] If you have to take a trip, long or short, you're going to want to look your best. If you simply can't live without beautiful, bouncy curls, then it's time to take the curling iron on a trip too. But of course, not all curling irons are suited for travelling overseas. A lot of people don't know that a conventional curling iron won't function in a different country, and this often causes their device to break, or even produce a short in the room where they are staying. In some cases fires and melting has even occurred, with additional electrical issues. The safest thing to do is check if your curling iron is suited for travel BEFORE you step on that plane and not finding out in your hotel room when it's too late.
If you have taken a curling iron with you on vacation and you have doubts on whether it is good for travel, don't use it. You can risk shock or the damage of your product. What you need to do is check the manual for any indication that it is a dual voltage curling iron. A dual voltage model will include an adaptor and of course instructions for use in different parts of the world.
About the dual voltage curling iron. Now, although it may look a lot like a conventional curling iron, you should keep in mind that it may not heat up as much as a professional model and this can cause the curling process to take a bit longer, but at least you have one in a foreign country! Here's how you can tell it's dual voltage: on the side you'll find a little switch near the temperature settings that lets you choose the voltage you want the curling iron to function at. Dual voltage curling irons are specially designed to operate at two voltage levels or more depending on the location.
Dual voltage curling irons come with many benefits, aside from the ones found in conventional curling irons. Not only do they prevent electrical problems, they are specially designed to be easily recognized at airport security (how many times have normal everyday objects been confused as weapons?) and that same unique design lets it fold up and be stored easily in your bags. You usually receive a travel pouch and adaptor with the purchase of a dual voltage curling iron to make travel simpler.
