Will a standard straightener (from California) work in Germany? What about a curling iron, or waver? I know I need plug adapters, but do I need anything else? Thanks in advance.

Your hair straightener and curling iron and waver will not work in Germany. Unless you have ones that are made to be used in Europe as well as in the USA. If there is a mention of 110/230 on them or 100/120-220/240, you will be ok with just a plug adapter. If there is no mentioning of 230 or 220/240 forget it. They will get very hot and burn through, setting the place on fire if you are very unlucky. You can buy a currency converter for them, but you will need a very good one, as those things eat a lot of power. Can you do without them for the time you are there? Or if you plan on staying in Germany long, buy new ones there? If not, go to a shop where they sell travel supplies and ask. Do not buy the cheap converter as it will burn through too. (I do not think many people in Europe do travel with a straightener, curling iron and/or waver, as most do not think them as important, a natural curl in your hair for a week or two will not hurt.)
