Why are hair dryers not earthed?
Things that aren't grounded, like hair dryers, are double insulated. If the hair dryer gets a short circuit, the two layers of insulation will protect you. Hair dryers also have a ground-fault circuit interrupter plug that protects you if you drop the appliance in water.
How does a hairdryer dry wet hair?
When you plug in the hair dryer and turn the switch it on, the electrical current flows through the hair dryer. The circuit first supplies power to the heating element. In most hair dryers this is a bare coiled wire, but in models that are more expensive there can be fancier materials in action, like a tourmaline-infused ceramic coating. The current then makes the small electric motor spin and that turns the fan. The airflow generated by the fan is directed down the barrel of the hairdryer, over and through the heating element. As the air flows over and through the heated element, the generated heat warms the air by forced convection. The hot air streams out the end of the barrel. The hairdryer uses a small fan that looks like a hydraulic turbine (i.e. water wheel). The fan in a hair dryer uses electrical energy to generate airflow. The small motor actually sits inside the fan, which is firmly attached to the tip of the motor. When you supply power to the motor, the motor and the attached fan both spin. The centrifugal movement of the fan blades draws air in through the small round air inlets in the side casing of the hair dryer. These holes are covered by a safety screen that prevents other objects (such as strands of your hair) from being sucked in as well. The air is then blown down the barrel of the hair dryer. When you use it on your hair this hot air blows the water, or chases it, off the hair shaft. Imagine the hair is like glass. Water runs straight off of it.
How do the plates in a hair straightener get hot?
They get hot because of the electricity that heats the plates. That's why you have to plug it in or else it won't get hot.
Why do you need more force to pull a plug in a full bath tab?
Quite simply the weight of water directly above the plug in a bath is considerably more than the weight of water above the plug in say a hand basin. In addition, the surface area of the bath plug is greater than that of a conventional hand basin plug. Therefore, the column of water being moved by the removal of the bath plug would have a larger volume than that of the hand basin plug. Consequently, weighing more and therefore requiring a larger force to move the plug in an upward direction. If you find pulling the plug on a chain difficult, then you can always upgrade your bath plug chain combination for a rotary cable 'pop-up' bath waste mechanism. This should aid your comfort in attending to the bath water evacuation process.

Can you plug a 220 hair dryer into a 230 plug?
Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.
