Using a hair dryer in Kosovo

What is the best compact dual voltage travel hair dryer for Kosovo?

• The Conair Compact Styler uses a powerful two speed 1875 watt motor, removable filter and includes cool shot that can be used to rapidly cool hair down which gives it a longer lasting hold.
• The Berta Folding Hair Dryer also has a cool shot setting, uses a tourmaline ceramic outlet for negative ions resulting in faster and safer styling, twin heat settings, a longer 1.8m electric power cord and comes with a concentrator attachment.

Both models can fold, have an ALCI power plug which prevents overloading and has dual voltage making both perfect for travel to Kosovo in carry on luggage if used along with a power adapter for a Kosovan power outlet.  [10] [10] [11] [AD]

What is the best blow dryer for thick hair?

Thick hair takes much longer to dry and will be hard to dry without your hair turning frizzy, so the best option for this type of hair will be an ionic dryer and for curly thick hair use a diffuser as both are suitable to manage and dry hair smoothly. Both the X5 Superlite Ceramic Ionic or a Hot Tools 1044 Ionic Travel Dryer are suitable as they both have powerful motors, ionic outlets and included diffusers, avoid buying a blow dryer with a motor that is less powerful than 1600 watts as this won't be strong enough.  [8] [9] [AD]

Is there a hair dryer in your hotel room in Kosovo?

Depending on the individual hotel and class of the accommodation a hair dryer might be available in the hotel room, either packed away in a bedroom wardrobe, cupboard or drawer, found in the bathroom or could be of a slower air hose variety. In cheaper motels, hotels and hostels a communal hair dryer could be offered at reception but that might involve waiting in turn for other guests. If in doubt about the hotel hairdryer policy you could either check on the hotel web site or telephone the hotel in Kosovo to find out what is available to guests. Hotel hair dryers are usable but normally basic models with no diffuser and notorious for low heat and providing slow air speeds. For those concerned with hygiene should remove any grime from other guests on a shared hair dryer as the hotel room service might not have removed it when cleaning the room.

Guests who are uncertain that a suitable and germ-free hair dryer is available should put their mind at rest by bringing their own dual voltage travel hair dryer.  [2] [AD]

Is it safe to bring a domestic hair dryer to Kosovo?

Bringing a dual voltage travel hair dryer is preferable to packing your existing blow dryer to Kosovo as it ensures that it will work with the 230 volt power outlets used with a Kosovan power outlet (provided that you bring the correct power adapter for Kosovo). Certain models of travel hair dryer will normally feature a folding handle and are lighter, this helps in reducing the size and weight in travellers luggage compared to bringing a domestic blow dryer. It is also worth concidering that bringing an expensive domestic hair dryer might place it at risk because of potential damage or loss in your luggage by a baggage handlers. The inconvenience and costs involved in repairing an expensive specialised hair dryer in Kosovo might overshadow the cost of purchasing a cheaper dual voltage travel hair dryer ^[2] with a suitable travel hair dryer case before travelling to bring with you .  [17] [AD]
