Voltage converter to use my curling brush device in Switzerland/Paris?
Janet Ondrejca is preparing for her trip to Switzerland and Paris and is unsure if she needs a voltage converter for her Hot Brush/Curling Brush device, which she plans to use during her travels. She wants updated information on using her device safely in Switzerland's electrical system.
- Check if your curling device is dual-voltage by looking for '110-240V' on its label; if it states '110V' or '120V', you'll need a voltage converter.
- Switzerland uses 230V power, so make sure you have the appropriate converter to avoid damaging your appliances.

Good Morning,
I purchased a HERO Universal Travel Adapter for my travels to Switzerland and Paris, but I do travel with a Hot Brush/Curling Brush device- do I specifically need a Voltage Converter as well? Will it ruin my Hot Brush if I do not use a Voltage Converter? I am looking for updated and current information on this as it appears most responses were from 2022. Any updated information please?
Thank you,
Janet Ondrejca

Hi Janet,
It will depend if your curling device is dual-voltage or not. Switzerland uses 230V power, while many US hair appliances are 110V. If your curling device is dual-voltage, it should work with your Hero plug adapter, but if it’s not, you’ll need a converter to step down the voltage from 230V to 110V.
You can look on the label to your curling device and it should state either “110-240V”, then an adapter should be fine, however if it clearly states “110V” or “120V”, this means it is single voltage and then you will need a converter.

Thanks Yolanda,
Yes, now I understand how this works – I looked at my device with a magnifying glass and per the label on it I see that I DO need a converter to be able to use it in Europe/Switzerland. This is all a bit tricky in the details!!
Thank you for your kind help,
