i'm going for fifteen days to italy and greeece. i have moderately short hair.. it is very unruly so a straightener is a must.. my straightener is a small travel size and on the tag says 110-240V and 50/60Hz however it does not have a switch to change it nor is it dual.. i have plug adapter for those two countries.. is that all i need i'm terrified that even with the adapter i'll blow out the hotel electricity or fry my straightener.. Does any with experience know? if so any tips to make it go smoother?

it his not gona work because in italy we have 220v so you do not need a plug adupter, but a things, i do not know the name in english that change the voltage 220 in 110, plus your adupter for the plug.

Yes, you can use it with just a plug adapter: 110-240 V means your straightener can work with both voltage, and 50/60 Hz with any frequency (hertz) Between 50 and 60 (in Italy, 220 - 240V, 60 Hz) On modern devices, switch are not anymore needed, setting is automatic. You're quite lucky, most hair straighteners sold in North America only supports 110V.
