If you’re packing and wondering ‘will my Dyson Airwrap work in Spain?’, you’re not alone. I panicked about this after learning not all Airwraps are equal. The good news? If your Airwrap was bought in the UK or Europe, you’re probably fine. If you’re bringing one from the US… not so much. Here’s what you need to know.
⚡ First: Let’s Talk Voltage
This is where most people trip up – because plug shape and voltage are not the same thing.
- The UK version of the Dyson Airwrap runs on 220–240V.
- Spain’s voltage is 230V.
- So: UK Airwrap + EU plug adapter = all good.
BUT, if your Airwrap is from the US or Canada, it runs on 110–120V. And no, unfortunately, it’s not dual voltage. You can’t just use a plug adapter, and even a voltage converter won’t save you — Dyson officially warns against it. Best-case scenario? Your Airwrap won’t turn on. Worst-case? You fry it. Or the fuse. Or both.
🔌 Do I Need a Plug Adapter?
Yes, but only to change the shape of the plug. Not the voltage.
Spain uses type C and F sockets, which are round two-pin plugs. The UK plug is three-pronged and bulky, so you’ll need a UK to EU adapter. These are cheap and widely available – you’ve probably got one in a drawer somewhere.
🧳 Have a US Model?
If your Airwrap is a US model: I hate to say it, but you’ll need to leave it at home. Your best bet is either:
- Have a heat styling detox and embrace au natural
- Travel with a ‘cheaper’ European heat tool like the Revlon One-Step Volumiser, Babylon’s Air Style 1000 or the elite Shark FlexStyle (just be careful to buy the UK/EU one)
- Or invest in a second Airwrap (if you travel frequently and you’re a Rockefeller)
🌍 What About Other Dyson Hair Tools?
Same rules apply to the Dyson Supersonic and Corrale straightener. Dyson doesn’t make dual voltage hair tools – so unless the voltage matches, don’t risk it.
✅ What You’ll Need:
If your Dyson is from the UK or EU, you’re golden. Just grab:
- A UK to EU adapter (Type C or F) – here’s a link
- A travel case to keep you Airwrap and attachments safe like this handy hanging bag
- A travel-size heat mat so you don’t melt the hotel vanity
