A new hair dryer probably doesn't cost much more than the replacement plug
and will probably have a built in cut off if it is dropped in water.

I'm putting a new plug on my wife's hairdryer. The old plug was
unpolarized, and the cord doesn't give any indication of polarity - is
there
any way I should know other than testing with a meter which wire is hot
and
which neutral?.
