The only way is to buy a new one while you're in Europe, unfortuneately. Hope this helps :)

The plugs in Europe are different from an American plug. The outlets are shaped differently and provide a different amount of power. Unless you have a converter (which you could buy for about $10 - $20 bucks) no American appliance will even work.
If you do have a converter, wrap the straightened in your underwear or put it in tied close bag with your shampoo and other hair products, throw it in your swim bag if you have one, anything were it is covered will work. Underwear or pajama rolls are particularly good, since your dad wouldn't likely look in them, put a thick sweater works too.
But really, is anyone you know going to see you in Europe? If not, why do you even care about the straightener. Stranger's wont give a damn about your hair and it's just more to lug around the airport. My advice would be to just leave the damn thing at home. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
