I think you mean for hair. Yes, it is 240 Voltage in India. It is not watts.
If you are visiting a Metro City, it is easy to purchase one here. Many available. If not Beauty parlours have them. You can get hair done or purchase one from them by order.
I suggest as I did not get to work any properly. Experience.

But to purchase:
Best is to go to an Indian store that sells them. They have the right ones. Know, New Jersey has many stores. Buy a popular one.

We have used a 110 Volt iron with a help of a converter. A voltage converter, also purchased in the US.

Hope these help.

buy any iron because you can buy an adaptor when you get there....& really - India is SO laid back & lovely....nobody will care if your clothes are creased....i never iron mine there!

p.s. take a Torch...very necessary in dimly lit areas at night...like the beach etc.

All my own curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers work over there. You just need to go to radio shack and buy a converter so you can plug them in. Just tell them you're traveling overseas, (or to India) and that you need an outlet converter, then you're good to go.

Have a blast, you're gonna love it!

yes its work

Electricity in India is 240 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. You will require a voltage converter if you are carrying a device that does not accept 240 Volts at 50 Hertz. To adjust your device according to the power and voltage in India, the following three types of Voltage converters may be used:

Resistor-network converters
This type of converter usually supports approximately 50 -1600 Watts. They are lightweight. You can easily use this converter for high-wattage electrical appliances like hair dryers and irons. But, you can use them for short periods only and they are not ideal for digital devices.

Transformers
Transformers support low watt rating, around 50 â€“ 100 Watts. Generally, you can use them continuously. Also, they provide better electricity for low wattage appliances like battery chargers, radios, laptop computers, cameras, mp3 players and camcorders. Their drawback is the low wattage and heavy weight.

Combination converters
Combination converters are also manufactured by some companies. They are a combination of a resistor network and a transformer in the same package. You can easily switch between the two modes. If you need both types of converters, then it is better to buy this combination converter.

Outlets in India generally accept the following types of plug:

Two round pins
Three round pins arranged in a triangle
If your appliances plug has any other shape, you will need a plug adapter. If you plan to travel a lot in the future, it is better to get a combination voltage converter and a plug adapter.

At the end of the 19th century, Westinghouse in the US decided on 60 Hz and AEG in Germany decided on 50 Hz, eventually leading to the world being mostly divided into two frequency camps. Most 60 Hz systems are nominally 120 Volts and most 50 Hz nominally 230 Volts.
