Hi all
Going to Punta Cana on Monday and i always use GHD's. I know they wont work in PC. I brought a pair of straighteners in NEw York last year and so was planning on using those in PC next week. they have the US 2 pin plug on them. However as i have not used these for a year, am concerned they may not work, call me paranoid but my hair is so curly naturally i cant possibly leave it curly it looks messy!
So, i wondered, has anyone used the babyliss pro 200 slim ceramic straighteners? Can get them here in the Uk and they have worldwide voltage.
Please help!

Do you know that GHD's have a plug inside the 3 pin plug that you can use in the US? my hairdresser has taken hers to Mexico and used them there, there's a big screw in the middle of the plug, undo this and the flex is attached to 2 pin plug inside our 3 pin plug ... ingenious or what!! I have curly hair and am planning on taking mine to Cancun in September, can't live without them, would have a right frizzy mess for a barnet if I didn't :lol:

Thanks tarnlass, I never read the instructions and threw them out for recycling. Amazing invention, eh. Thanks for that :lol:

thats fantastic!

Thing is though they prob wont get hot enough due to the voltage not being as powerful as ours is. ours is 220 i think and dom rep is 110. wont get to the 210C that they norm go to.

Good tip though re the plug!

Hi.

I used my GHD's in PC last year and although they didn't get as hot as usual, they were plenty hot enough to do the job

Hope that's some help.
