The reason (to put it bluntly) is that for the average human a voltage of 'only' 110V cannot supply/force enough current though the human body to kill you if you touch a live wire.

Not so..............more like......

I see your 110 v and raise you 9 volt battery

Back on topic, allowing for slight heating of the transformer, she will need a 2KW transformer (watts in = watts out)
A 2 KW 110V transformer will cost about £90.
Argos will charge from £4 up to £30 for a hair dryer.
As they say on the left side of the pond, go figure:)

I see your math and raise you with "a quick study" (not a short learning period, but a person who learns, picks things up quickly....)

Well, at least this is better that the American I had to deal with a few years ago who in all seriousness asked if Scotland (away from the airports) had electricity she could use to power her hairdryer yet and if the English troops that were keeping us wild Highlanders down would know what a hairdryer was and not mistake it for some kind of weapon.

Speechless.......!
