Yes, you can get 12V hairdryers. When I went looking, it was only at some camping outlets. They normally had a ciggie lighter plug on them. BUT, don't expect them to perform like a mains hairdryer. 240V AC has no trouble pumping out heat from 1200-1800W consumption. You will be lucky to get 100W consumption in your 12V dryer and even that will suck 8A out of your 12V battery. So the output is luke warm but it will do the job and does for mine. But use many times and that 12V battery will be sucked dry.
