Hi Everyone,

I'm heading to South Korea in September. To save room in my luggage so I can pack other things, I was planning on just leaving behind my hair dryer and hair straighten and just buying one once I get to South Korea. Just wondering if anyone can give me some info on the cost of buying a high end ceramic hair straightener. My hair is pretty frizzy and course so I typically need something that is strong. Also, how much is it to get a hair dryer.

Thanks in advance for all of you that respond back to my question [/img]

You can pick a Philips hair dryer up for as little as 20K... or a Chinese one for 10K. Irons range from 15/20K to 100+K.. depends on what you're looking for. They don't have to be expensive.

They also don't seem to have GHD hair straighteners around either, if you like using them.




I wasn't looking for myself, My g.f. was looking.........honestly!!

You can go to any hair salon and get a "magic straight" hair perm for around 40,000-100,000 won depending on the length of your hair and how pricey the salon is. Then your hair will always be straight and you won't need a ceramic straightener, no matter how frizzy and coarse your hair is.

You could also always post something in the buy/sell/trade forum and get good used stuff cheap. People are always moving in or out, or finding they didn't need to cart something halfway around the world after all.

Just a few suggestions.
