Which plug adapter will I need when using a hair dryer in Bhutan?

Bhutanese power outlet

Can I use my hair dryer in Bhutan?

First check your hair dryer can work in Bhutan:

  • If your hair dryer can run using 230 volts or can support dual voltage (how to check) then you'll only need to use a suitable power adapter listed on this page if the plug on your hair dryer will not fit.

If not then:

  • Use a power converter (or voltage transformer) - this enables you to use your existing hair dryer and other applicances with a 230 volt Bhutanese power outlet, however this is substantially heavier and more expensive than a dedicated travel hair dryer. A voltage transformer changes the voltage but not the physical shape of the plug on your hair dryer to fit in the types of power outlet used in Bhutan, so check that the power converter includes an appropriate power adapter for Bhutan otherwise you will still need to bring a seperate power adapter. Also worth noting that your own existing hair dryer might not be suited for travelling and you risk potential damage in your luggage. [13] [AD]
Warning: If your hair dryer won't handle 230 volts you run the risk of blowing a fuse, damage to your hair dryer or even an electrical fire hazard. Before using your hair dryer in Bhutan check the instruction manual first to ensure safe operation.

Using a hair dryer in Bhutan

Will my hair dryer work in Bhutan?

That will depend on if your hair dryer can handle the 230 volts used in Bhutan. If you're using either a dual voltage hair dryer or your hair dryer can handle 230 volts and you have the correct plug adapter then you'll be able to use your hair dryer in Bhutan. If not then you will need to consider bringing either a power converter or a dual voltage travel hair dryer [2], read our guide on can you use a power converter with your domestic hair dryer in Bhutan for help deciding which option is more suitable. [13] [AD]

Best travel hair dryers for Bhutan

What to look for when choosing a hair dryer for Bhutan

A dual voltage switch on a travel hair dryer

What to look for when choosing a hair dryer for Bhutan

When choosing the best hair dryer for Bhutan look for a sturdy but lightweight dual-voltage dryer which operates with a 230 volt Bhutanese power outlet power outlet, has a safety plug, a long cord and a folding handle. For drying thick hair buy a dryer with a stronger 1600+ watt dryer and bundled diffuser.

The top 9 things to consider when purchasing a travel blow dryer

  1. The 'cool shot' button on a modern hair dryer will quickly cool down the hair after drying which will hold in a style but this feature might be lacking in smaller or cheaper models.
  2. To function in Bhutan a travel hair dryer needs to support dual voltage.
  3. Don't risk getting the cheapest travel dryer on the market; as well as concerns with safety there is a greater risk that the dryer could fail during your trip abroad due to a flimsy construction.
  4. Try looking for a lighter travel hair dryer which is durable enough to survive being transported in luggage, models which have a folding handle mean more room for packing other items.
  5. The safest travel hair dryers will include an 'ALCI' safety plug which minimises the danger of the motor overloading that could start an electrical fire - you can idenfity models with the two reset and test switches.
  6. Suitable hair dryers for styling give control of the temperature and speed with low and high options; a hotter faster speed will dry thicker hair quicker and lower temperatures with slower speeds prevent damage to your hair.
  7. If you have curlier or thicker hair then you could need a blow dryer which has a more powerful motor; a high wattage ceramic model that has a diffuser will dry hair much faster, thereby preventing damage.
  8. Some hotel rooms might have a wall mirror installed some distance away from a convenient power outlet which makes it cumbersome to dry hair, therefore when buying a hair dryer search for the unit with the longest power cord possible.
  9. It could be more convenient and cheaper to buy a dryer which includes both a diffuser and concentrator rather than scouring stores looking for more expensive 3rd party attachments which fit the unique barrel size securely.
What is the best dual voltage ionic hair dryer with diffuser attachment?

Hot Tools 1044 Ionic Travel Dryer

What is the best dual voltage ionic hair dryer with diffuser attachment?

  • The X5 Superlite Ceramic Ionic has a 1600 watt motor with a 1.65m electric power cord, it comes with a tourmaline diffuser but is missing a cool shot feature.
  • A Hot Tools 1044 Ionic Travel Dryer features a long 1.82 metre power cable for greater freedom when drying with an ALCI power plug and a removable filter for cleaning. It has a strong 1875 watt motor including a cool shot option making it more suited for drying thick hair.

Both ionic hair dryers include a concentrator and diffuser attachment with strong enough motors to make them the most suitable hair dryers for thick hair. They are lightweight and will fold up to pack into a carry-on bag and will only require a suitable plug adapter for Bhutan to work with a Bhutanese power outlet.  [14] [14] [15] [AD]

What is the best small ionic dual voltage hair dryer?

BaBylissPRO Tourmaline Titanium with folding handle and concentrator

What is the best small ionic dual voltage hair dryer?

  • For quickly drying thin and fine hair on the go the ceramic 1200 watt Conair MiniPRO is the cheapest small ionic blow dryer available to buy.
  • The BaBylissPRO Tourmaline Titanium is lightweight and small enough to transport in a purse because of the 10.5 ounce body and folding handle that also has features reserved for larger blow dryers such as a tourmaline outlet which can emit infrared heat to protect against heat damage resulting in a shinier finish.

Both mini hair dryers have dual voltage when used along with the right power adapter for a Bhutanese power outlet they should work in Bhutan folding conveniently enough to be carried for drying on the go. They include a concentrator, have 1.5 metre electric power cords and have a 2 speed motor.  [16] [16] [17] [AD]

What is the best blow dryer for thick curly hair?

Thicker hair will take longer to dry and will be hard to dry without your hair going frizzy. The best option will be an ionic dryer, if the hair is curly use a diffuser as both are able to dry and manage hair smoothly. Either 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 hair dryer with a motor that is less powerful than 1600 watts as it will struggle to dry thicker hair.  [14] [15] [AD]

What is the best compact dual voltage hair dryer with cool shot?

Bhutan power outlets and plug sockets

What frequency is used in a Bhutanese power outlet?

The frequency of the alternating current in a Bhutanese power outlet is 50 Hz. [20]

What is the mains voltage in Bhutan?

Power outlets in Bhutan are 230 volts.

Which power adapter will you need when using a hair dryer in Bhutan?

There are five types of power outlets used in Bhutan, these are type G, C, D, F and M with the primary power outlets being type G:

  • Plug Type C - You can identify the wall outlet by the two round holes next to each other.
  • Plug Type D - You can recognise the wall socket by three holes forming a triangular configuration.
  • Plug Type F - You can identify the power outlet by the two 4.8mm circular holes 19 mm apart from each other and a pair of metal grounding clips above and below.
  • Plug Type G - You can identify this plug outlet by the 3 vertical holes with plastic shutters in a triangle pattern for live, neutral and ground pins.
  • Plug Type M - You can recognise the wall socket by three circular holes forming a triangle pattern for live, neutral and ground.

A Type G power adapter allows you to use a 230 volt hair dryer in Bhutan, read the step by step instructions below for full details of using a power adapter for Bhutan. Be aware that unless you that have a dual voltage hair dryer you will need to confirm if you also need to bring a power converter.  [10] [21] [AD]

Which power adapter will you need when using a hair dryer in Bhutan?

Dual voltage hair dryers

Is my hair dryer dual voltage?

Single voltage hair dryer

Is my hair dryer dual voltage?

A simple way to tell if your hair dryer can accept dual voltage is to look for either a sticker or numbers printed on the plug, base or the handle. This location will vary depending on the make and model of your hair dryer and should also be written in the instruction manual or on the box. Some dual voltage models will change automatically, however other hair dryers will feature a button which allows you to operate between different voltages depending on which country you are in.

  • A specific number such as 110V indicates a single voltage hair dryer. If this number matches the 230 volts used in Bhutan then you should be able to use your hair dryer with a Bhutanese power outlet.
  • A small voltage range with a dash such as 100-120V also indicates a single voltage hair dryer which can accomodate small voltage fluctuations. If the 230 volts used in a Bhutanese power outlet falls within the range shown on your hair dryer then you should be able to use it in Bhutan.
  • A large range separated with a slash such as 100/240V indicates a dual voltage hair dryer capable of being used in Bhutan or any other country.

How should you switch a dual voltage travel hair dryer?

  1. Normal dual voltage hair dryers have either a switch or dial which changes between two ranges of voltages although some hair dryers are capable of automatically detecting the voltage from a Bhutanese power outlet.
  2. The switch or dial requires a small screwdriver or coin to set the hair dryer to the right voltage between a 220v-240v range or the 110v-120v range.
  3. As well as switching this it's worth making a note of the 2 switch positions as the painted numbers can occasionally fade on some models.

How do I use my dual voltage blow dryer in Bhutan?

  1. Ensure that you are using a dual voltage hair dryer and that it operates with a 230 volt power socket.
  2. If your dryer is dual voltage please make sure that it is switched to the 220-240v range. This is usually found on the handle or base of the blow dryer and requires a screwdriver or coin to turn.
  3. Plug your dryer into the correct power adapter for Bhutan, also plug in the power adapter into the Bhutanese power outlet.
  4. It's normal for most travel hair dryer models operating within the 220-240V range to only work safely on a low speed setting - however the temperature should still be adequate for drying hair. Always check the manufacturers instructions to find out if this is applicable for your model of dryer to prevent overheating.
  5. The hair dryer is now ready to be used with a Bhutanese power outlet.

Travelling to Bhutan with a hair dryer

Can you carry on a blow dryer in your luggage?

Folding travel hair dryer with cord wrapped for carry on

Can you carry on a blow dryer in your luggage?

According to the TSA guidelines for hair dryers there is no restriction on carrying a mains powered hair dryer in your carry on hand luggage through airport security in the United States. The TSA recommends that you should check that your airline who is taking you to Bhutan will allow blow dryers onboard and that it will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the aircraft. Packing the blow dryer in a dedicated heat resistant protective travel hair dryer case leaves it easily accessible for airport security checks, it can be packed away quickly and should avoid a tangle of cables in your carry on luggage (the TSA recommends wrapping cords tightly around blow dryers). If you do intend to pack fragile or expensive blow dryers in your hand held luggage then it is advisable to bring hard carry on luggage as this provides the most protection against drops and knocks during transit.   [22] [23] [24] [AD]

Is it safe to bring my domestic hair dryer to Bhutan?

It is preferable to bring a dual voltage travel hair dryer instead of packing an existing domestic hair dryer to Bhutan (marked with 'For domestic use only') as it ensures that it will work with the 230 volt power outlets used with a Bhutanese power outlet (provided that you bring the correct power adapter for Bhutan). A travel hair dryer will typically feature a collapsible handle and are much lighter which will help reduce the size and weight in travellers luggage compared to packing a domestic blow dryer.

Please be aware that packing an expensive domestic hair dryer could place it at risk due to potential loss or damage in transit by an airline baggage handler. The cost and inconvenience of repairing an expensive specialised hair dryer in Bhutan could outweigh the costs of purchasing a cheaper dual voltage travel hair dryer [2] and a suitable travel hair dryer case before setting off .  [23] [AD]

Do hotel rooms in Bhutan have hair dryers?

Hotel hair dryer

Do hotel rooms in Bhutan have hair dryers?

Depending on the hotel or bed and breakfast and class of the accommodation a hair dryer could be available in the room, either packed away in a bedroom wardrobe, drawer or cupboard, found attached to a bathroom wall or could be a slower air hose variety.

When staying in budget hotels, hostels and motels a communal hair dryer might be available at reception but that might involve waiting in turn for other guests. If you are uncertain as to hotel hairdryer policy you can either check on the booking web site or telephone your hotel in Bhutan to find out what type of hairdryer is available to guests. Hair dryers found in hotels are usable but are normally basic models lacking a diffuser, notorious for low heat and providing slow air speeds. For those worried about hygiene might want to check for grime from other guests on a shared hair dryer as room service might not have scraped this off when cleaning the room.

Travellers who don't want to take a chance that a suitable and germ-free hair dryer is readily available should put their mind at rest by bringing their own dual voltage travel hair dryer.  [2] [AD]

Power converters for Bhutan

Can I use my hair dryer with a voltage converter for Bhutan?

A suitable power converter (or voltage transformer) will allow your hair dryer using a different voltage to work using a 230 volt power outlet used in Bhutan. A power converter is suitable for travellers wishing to use their existing domestic hair dryer, however it can be more expensive to buy a power converter than it is to purchase a dedicated dual voltage travel hair dryer [2]. In addition, a travel hair dryer can be considerably smaller than a power converter making a travel hair dryer more suitable for packing in luggage. [13] [AD]

What is the difference between a plug adapter and a voltage converter?

Voltage converter

What is the difference between a plug adapter and a voltage converter?

A lightweight, cheap and small power adapter (or plug adapter) will change the shape of the plug on your hair dryer to slot into a power outlet in Bhutan, but a heavy and bulkier power converter converts the voltage of 230 volts from a Bhutanese power outlet to work with a non-230 volt hair dryer. [13] [AD]
