Should I pack my own shampoo and conditioner for a beach hotel in Egypt, and are hotel-room hairdryers powerful enough?

TL;DR
Bring your usual shampoo and conditioner if you have long or thick hair, as sun and salty seawater can dry it out. Recent guest feedback suggests the in-room hairdryer is generally adequate for normal use.
The room hairdryer was reportedly powerful enough for light hair drying and also handled smoothing cotton and linen clothing without issues.
Hair can become dry from sea exposure itself, not just tap water, so factor salty-water swimming into your hair-care routine.
For long hair, pack your own products. Hotel toiletries may be fine at first, but regular shampoo and conditioner are more helpful after sun and sea exposure.
