    Just an adaptor will do.
    I second the comment about UK hairdryers being pretty useless in the States. After our first trip, I stopped bothering to take mine and just used the one in the hotel bathroom. Renting a house this year, so gonna have to buy one, but it will be useful for future trips.
    Have a good time, OP!
    You beat me to it.

    Your charger will be fine with an adaptor - but anything that requires a lot of power (irons/hair straighteners etc) will be found wanting and will not generate a lot of heat.

    She did the same as you and bought some hair things in Target if I remember correctly, which were cheap enough and now she always takes them with her when we travel over there.

    Mrs DD informs me that is the case by the way - I don't use irons or hair straighteners - at home or on holiday!:)

    Enjoy your trip OP.

    This thread is from March and the OP was travelling within a few days of their first post, so I'm guessing the they have discovered the answer for themselves by now :D
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
