What is a good hair dryer for thick or curly hair?

Thicker hair takes much longer to dry and might be difficult to do so without hair turning frizzy, so the best option is an ionic hair dryer and for curly thick hair use a diffuser as both are able to dry and manage hair smoothly without frizz. Either the X5 Superlite Ceramic Ionic or a Hot Tools 1044 Ionic Travel Dryer are suitable because of their powerful motors, ionic outlets and bundled diffusers - avoid buying a hair dryer with a motor 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 Armenia?

It depends on the individual hotel or bed and breakfast and the quality of the accommodation. Hair dryers in hotel rooms are normally found attached to a bathroom wall, these could be a slower air hose variety, or could be found in a bedroom drawer, wardrobe or cupboard.

If staying in cheaper motels, hotels and hostels a shared hair dryer might be offered at the reception but might involve waiting in turn for other guests. If you are uncertain about the hotel hairdryer availability you can either check on the booking web site or telephone your hotel in Armenia to find out what type of hairdryer is available for guests. Hotel hair dryers are adequate but typically rudimentary models with no diffuser and notorious for low heat and slower air speeds. For those worried about hygiene should check for grime from other guests on a shared hair dryer as room service might not have scraped this off when cleaning the room.

Guests who aren't sure 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]

Is it safe to bring a domestic blow dryer to Armenia?

Packing a dual voltage travel hair dryer is preferable to bringing your existing blow dryer to Armenia as it is safer to assume that it will work with the 230 volt power outlets used with an Armenian power outlet (as long as you bring the correct power adapter for Armenia). A travel hair dryer will typically feature a collapsible handle and are much lighter which helps in reducing the size and weight in travellers luggage compared to packing a domestic hair dryer. Please be aware that bringing your expensive domestic blow dryer might place it at risk because of potential damage or loss in transit by a baggage handlers. The cost and inconvenience of repairing an expensive specialised hair dryer in Armenia could outweigh the cost of purchasing a cheap dual voltage travel hair dryer ^[2] with a suitable travel hair dryer case before travelling to bring with you .  [17] [AD]
