Help please Babyliss Beliss 2x Hot Air Hair Styler - 2725U

Im going to the states and i NEED my hair styler but realise that the voltage is different so it wont work. I have spoken to Babyliss over here and the girl said they dont do a worldwide one here but how about trying a UK to USA converter.

Ive looked at these and they all say not suitable for hair dryers :eek:

This is the only thing Ive found that can actually make my fine fly away hair look good.

Please anyone any ideas?

    Thanks but Id looked into that and as I said above, the electrical shops say that the voltage adaptor is ok for low power items but one like a hairdryer will blow it :(

    A UK to USA converter that can cope with 800W of power would be very expensive - but can be bought - try amazon? (you are not looking for an adaptor, but a converter - I take it the product doesn't have a switch on it to convert from UK to US power?)

    You might be better off to just buy the product in the US for use there.

    Low voltage items like mobile charges etc aren't a problem; but a hairdryer is a different ballgame!
    I'm a nutter :j
