Use a Hair Dryer Safely

Read the warnings and instructions for your hair dryer before use. This includes any instructions in or on the box and the safety label on the cord of the hair dryer.

Set the hair dryer to the desired setting--often low, medium or high.

Plug the hair dryer into a grounded outlet.

Run the hair dryer over your hair, keeping it a safe distance from your scalp to avoid burning. Keep the plug away from hot surfaces while in use.

Unplug the hair dryer when you are done using it. Store it in a dry cabinet or storage space where it cannot fall or be pulled into a bathtub or sink.
