12v hair driers (1 Viewer)

[Reallyretired]

The only way to dry your hair is a mains portable hairdryer running on a suitable inverter. It will draw 100A from the battery, but in practice we find 5 min is enough. Consumption is thus only around 10Ah, which the solar can recharge in 30mins to 2hr, dependent on how much you've got and whether the sun is shining. We both wash our hair every morning when we shower.
This is what we have done for years with no problems, admittedly neither of us has hair you could sit on.

12 v hairdryers are absolutely rubbish! I use a microfibre towel as well and if my hair really does look like I've stuck my finger in the socket I use either Babyliss gas tongs/brush or 12v straighteners. The straighteners are really good but you do need to be patient and do smaller sections than what you would at home. I usually do mine in the cab whilst he's driving!

Do you use gas powered hair straightener ?

If so, what model?

can you tell us the model you use?

Hi Madison,

No I use std electric straighteners, tried the gas ones but didn't like them as they didn't get hot enough

Baby bliss from boots compact mind this some time ago. but can still get refill cartridges from there good luck .

Boots & Argos still stock the Babliss styler there are two sizes standard at £20 and a larger one at £25, we have the smaller one in the van, takes a while to dry the boss's hair but it works, the gas cartridges last ages.
