Make Your Blow Dryer and Hair Curling Iron Last Longer
Defective hairstyling tools such as blow dryers and hair curling irons cause hundreds of injuries and fires every year unnecessarily. It pays occasionally to inspect your blow dryer and hair curling iron for early evidence of problems.
“”blow dryers and hair curling irons cause hundreds of injuries and fires”
The most common defects occur in the cords. Look for fraying, cracking or broken insulation on the cords. Try to store your hair dryer or hair curling irons with the cords wrapped loosely whenever possible. Cords on blow dryers and hair curling irons should last 5-7 years, but if wound tightly everyday, you’ll shorten the life span considerably.
Shut your blow dryer off before you lay it on high-lint prone surface such as towels and bed spreads. Remove loose hair etc., from the lint filter on your blow dryer once a month or so with a vacuum.
Even though your blow dryer has a heat element at the front of the motor, the back of the motor should be able to cool the bearings in the motor. A clogged filter will cause the motor to overheat and shorten the life span.
If your blow dryer, hair curling iron or any other hairstyling tool ever smells funny . . . unplug it immediately! That is a sure signal that something is amiss.
Don’t take chances, Ditch it! Lets face it these things are pretty inexpensive to replace compared to a fire in your house or worse yet injury to your or your loved ones.
