Curling Irons?

Won't find me travelling anywhere without my hair straighteners (I know they're not curling but same principle)! :D

 

Can anyone confirm that you can use a UK GHD hair straightener on one of the RC ships? I assume the power outlet is a US one and we will need a travel adaptor? (I am in Sydney but my GHD is a UK one). Might sound trivial to some but I can't live without my straightener (not if I want to look in a mirror without grimacing). Thought NorbertsNiece might know as she is based in UK.

 

Thanks,

Ally

Im not sure if this is the case for all ships but we had a euro plug socket on our ship and if you take the plug off GHD'S you have a euro plug inside, it worked great for me.

Yeap. I use GHDs. Pink ones! You WILL need that adapter. I bring an extension cable too.

Hey M&S!

 

I never knew that. Just went and had a look. Amazing. :)

Thanks for the replies.

 

I'm not sure what you mean about taking the plug off. My GHD is several years old, so maybe I don't have this feature. My plug doesn't seem to come off.

 

I gather if I take a UK-US adaptor I will be able to use it just fine.

Electric outlets are minimal; one in the bath and one or two at the desk. Three prong U.S. type outlets and European type are both available. Bring a power strip and two extention cords as well as an alarm clock that dimly glows to act as a night light. The cabin clock is on the telephone and very small and black at night.

My GHD's are old too but the plug is a clear plastic/polymer.... whatever... it's clear! When I turned it over to see the underside.... the side with the prongs... you can see the original plug inside with its 2 prongs and attached to the cable. Very clever. I won't be removing the original plug because I'm lazy and will need to bring the adapter and extension cable with anyway but it's a brilliant feature to have included in such an important product.

Yes, if you undo the screw slightly the two prongs should slide out.

Just a tip, when using them with the two prongs, they tend to get hotter and work better than the adapter.

Just wondering what "GHD" stands for?
