You can't run a charger off the battery and put more back into the battery then you are taking out. It don't work that way. In order to run a flat iron, and/or hair dryer you need a substantial amount of watts. You are not going to get that plus your lights, fan, etc. for a week out of a battery. You can get the lights, radio, coffee maker and fan (all for intermittent use) for a week out of the battery, that's about all you can expect.
I don't know, maybe someone else would know, but I don't think you will ever run that hair dryer reliably, once a day for a week, off of solar, plus your other loads, without spending a significant amount of hundred dollar bills. And if your panels are at all shaded, a overcast day, whatever, you just killed your solar power.
