A European hairdryer operates on 230V. US power is 110V. The hairdryer will need a high power converter that will be fairly expensive. (110V input to 240V output rated at about 800W) It will be less expensive to buy a new one at Walmart when you get to the US than it will be to buy a converter for the European one.

Can you use a 110 volt hairdryer you have purchased in the states when you return home to UK is there a special adapter?

Connecting a 110V hairdryer to a 230V supply will cause one of several things to happen: 1 It will be damaged and not work 2 It will make a lot of noise, be damaged and not work 3 It will burst into flames, be damaged and not work 4 It will ignite other things around it, be damaged and not work. It is theoretically possible to use a step down transformer to power the hairdryer but the cost of these transformers is likely to be more than buying a new hairdryer in the UK. Unless you have a 110V supply, don't ever try to connect it to any European mains supply
