Is there some type of converter for this?

The fan motor may not be happy with the frequency change, it will turn slower at the very least.

The motor in a hair dryer is a brush type motor. It won't care about frequency.

You’re being a bit alarmist, 99.99% chance it is a split phase motor. Either a two pole turning at 3600 rpm (60 Hz) or four pole turning at 1800 rpm (again at 60 Hz)

Changing to 50 Hz reduces the speed to 3000 or 1500 rpm) a 17% reduction. The motor itself doesn't really care, the physics causing the rotor to spin are the same

They are brush type motors. They can run on DC.

I stand corrected
