What is it with women and hair straighteners that make them develop OCD?

I was having a chat at work (I am male) with my colleagues (all female) and we found out that they all panic about forgetting to switch off their hair straighteners. I gave an example of my wife panicking so much that she made me turn the car round to go home after 10 miles of driving. I told her the house was insured, but that wasn't enough reassurance.

It's the evolution of women... ten years ago we would have panicked about leaving the iron on instead.

Those suckers get hot! They could catch something on fire SOOOO easily

Straighteners cost like $200 or more.



What is it with women and hair straighteners that make them develop OCD?

Its called GHD

There was a report on TV a while back about GHD hair straighteners - they can catch fire even when switched off at the plug - its true! I bought a pair recently and have been very careful with them, far more than I ever have been with any other electrical appliance.

They get really hot. They could easily catch something on fire. I've gotten half way somewhere before and couldn't remember if I've caught my straightener off, and had to turn around and go back home to check. It's easier just driving a few extra miles to make sure it's off, then to have to re-build your house and buy all new things=]

Ha. Straigteners are funny because there's only the heated interior. That makes it very hard to not only catch a house on fire, but even to burn yourself while you're using it.



However, I left my curling iron on one day a few years back for the entire school day (8-4), chilling on my floor. I freaked out when I saw it. Half thankful, I turned it off and felt that the wood floor beneath it was hot. That was all. Neither before nor after that experience did I ever worry about leaving it on.



In short, some chicks just spaz.

I left mine on once, lying on the carpet in the bedroom, and i even put a pile ov washing down on top of them coz i didnt realise they were still on!!!!!! i went out 4 the day and when i came bac i could feel the heat soon as i walked in the room, all my washing was scorched, (it had to b my new white top and underwear didnt it)???? i was lucky that time and iv lernt my lesson...... wont do that again x



What is it with women and hair straighteners that make them develop OCD?

Yeah they get v hot, i'd rather drive 10 milies home to turn them off rather than worry bout all my lovely things getting burnt to a crisp.

Hi thre probably one of the most dangerous things to leave switched on. As they get to really high temperatures and if left unattended then who knows what can happen. They can cause blisters just from touching them for a second.



Also some are known to explode, and all sorts. Im the same with any electical equipment. not only my hair straighteners. I can never leave a plug in a plug socket when its turned off. Im too cautious about things like that, Who know when there is a fire, even though the insurance may cover it, you still loosing the memorys and posessions.
