Can I use my UK hairdryer in Singapore?

🔌
Yes – it just works

Singapore uses 230V, close to the UK's 230V, so your hairdryer works normally. Your UK plug fits the sockets as it is.

How to check your hairdryer

Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:

  • 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
  • A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
  • 220–240V only – fine in Singapore.

Plugs in Singapore

No. Sockets are the same as in the UK (type G), so your UK plugs fit.

  • Type G: Three rectangular pins (the UK plug)
