 |
|
OK, another packing question:
I like to straighten my hair with a ceramic hair straightener, but I know that there are issues with plugs and voltage if I bring my own.
Do they sell ceramic hair striaghteners in South Korea? If so, where coud I get one?
I'm just wondering, because asian hair seems very straight in general, and they might not have as much demand for straighteners there as in North America. |

Asian people straighten their hair all the time. 
You can always look online for really good ceramic straighteners. That's where I get mine. |

| Also, if you already have a straightener that you like you might want to check if the plug is dual-voltage. Mine is, so it should be fine to use in Korea with just a plug adapter. The adapters are really cheap and easy to buy - I got two for about fifty cents each in one of the big markets. |

| Straightening irons are available all over the place at a range of price points. There's no need to bring one, but if you have one you love and it's dual-voltage, you could bring it. |

I doubt it, most Koreans don't have ceramic hair.

I'm looking for a GOOD one, and I have yet to find it. Does anyone know where I can find a good one? (They cost $150-200, unlike the crap you can get in department stores.) |

| I've tried a few brands here and none of them work on my hair so if you have especially troublesome hair I would try and bring some dual voltage ones from home. |

Yeah, I have a cheap one too and it's "fine" I guess. It's better than nothing. But I want one that will work faster and better. Not going to get that at Lotte Mart. |
