Hi there,
my wife took her straighteners to the Riu Tequila, playacar however they simply did not get warm enough to do anygood.

i suggest you get a pair designed to work on 110v

Hope this helps

regards
Ian

Thanks Ian. We're also staying at the Tequila. Maybe I won't bother with the straighteners after all.

Staying at the Tequila??? Lucky you.

I wish I was back there now.

We had an excellent holiday last year (apart from the frizzy hair)
:lol:

Also stayed at the Tequilla last year, FANTASTIC!! Took my GHD hair straighteners and although ok in the room, half an hr outside and I was a frizzy mess again! Gave up and had it braided, much easier!! Enjoy!! :lol:

Hi All,

Can anyone help. Will my UK straightners work OK in Mexico or would i be better buying Straightners from the USA, as they probably are the same voltage.

Thanks in advance for your help.

My straighteners worked - they arent GHD but similar (cheaper version)

They took longer to heat up but worked perfectly

I only used them a couple of times as the heat made my hair go messy ha ha

Can anyone advise me whether my normal hair straighteners will be okay in Mexico? I am sure I have read somewhere re the voltage being different. I have tried to find travel straighteners but am struggling to find any at this time. Please help as I go in 2 weeks. :que

ou can buy them in walmart for approx $50-$60USD to last you the week or 2 weeks. i have been buying them for my guests throughout the last year. they are not great but do the job and are a cheap alternative.

also remember, you cannot buy plug adaptors in cancun or playa del carmen so make sure you take them with you - and not take the european ones!!!
