There's Nothing Quite Like A Great Hair Day

But as anyone who has ever accidentally left their straighteners on knows, it only takes a moment of forgetfulness for accidents to happen. This image was taken from an incident involving hair straighteners earlier this year. The best way to avoid fire risks from straighteners is to make sure that you always turn them off when you’re done using them.
