The voltage in the US is 120V AC 60Hz. Most overseas voltage is 220V AC 50Hz. You might look at the sides of your hairdryer for a switch that you can change to voltage on it. If not, look at the tag on you hair dryer and see what the rated voltage is for it. Anywhere between 90V - 130V AC will work.

The majority of household voltages are split-phase 120/240 volts, derived from a center tapped 240 volt transformer secondary. The larger load-items are operated at 240 volts while lighting and small appliances are operated at 120 volts. The standard frequency is 60 hertz. TexMav

120V 60Hz. India works on 230V, 50Hz I think. So the short answer is no. There are converters, but for the cost of them, you might as well just buy a cheap hair dryer once you get tot he USA.

If you are moving to the US, leave your gadgets in India and buy US type things here.

Domestic voltage is 120 +/-, with a three prong receptacle. How soon will you be here? Let me be the first to welcome you.
