How can I prevent burn damage from heated hairstyling appliances?
Mishaps from heated hairstyling appliances can cause painful burns. We recommend the following precautions. • Allot an appropriate amount of time to style hair. Burns are most likely to occur when you are in a hurry. • Read all instructions carefully, as some products heat faster and operate differently than others. • Understand how to properly use hairstyling tools and educate younger people on their correct usage, as well. • Always style your hair in bright light and with mirrors so you can see various angles. • Unplug products after use and allow them to cool on a burn-resistant counter before handling or storing. • Check the Internet for protective gloves that some appliance manufacturers offer to prevent burns on the hand that is holding the hair. • If a burn does occur, Burn Jel Plus can safely be applied to the neck, face or other skin surfaces.
