Hair dryers and straighteners?

don't know where you are but i RANG dublin airport on this one. we are off to madrid next month with just hand luggage and my sister wanted to bring her hair straightener. i had to be sure cos its a bit dear to be leaving behind if you cant take it. the man said it would be fine, you can take a dryer, straightener and shoes. they were the only things i asked about. ring whatever airport you are flying from because ultimately it will be them making the decision, not the airline and certainly not the people on here with so many conflicting answers.
