The singer Mayara Santana won the social networks with the fullness she dealt with the dryer brush literally on the scenes of one of the artist’s shows in São João last weekend. Although funny, hair care experts warn of a type of domestic accident that besides being very common, can cause serious damage to hair and even life.
Caused due to the difference in the voltage of the equipment and the outlets in the Mayara dressing room. The hairdresser of the Helio Diff Keiti Takahashi hall, however, explains that there are several other factors for whom users of dryer brushes should be aware.

“Unfortunately, any electrical apparatus is subject to failures, mainly due to overheating. Even in quality products, if the use is very prolonged, without pauses, or if there is accumulation of waste, such as hair product or hair stuck, the risk increases greatly,” he warns.
“Other than that, there is also the issue of wrong voltage, old facilities or certified products, which do not have adequate safety mechanisms.” Therefore, the expert already gives the first tip: invest in reliable devices and with visible and reliable temperature control.
Also, however, there are other crazes when drying the hair that should be avoided. “No use with wet hands, barefoot or near water. And always watch the state of the wire, the plug… If you have dried up or with poor contact, it’s time to change. And of course: hung up, took off the outlet and let it cool before storing,” Takahashi guides.
“It is also important to respect, it is not because the device reaches 240º that all hair needs it.”
And if you happen to come out the flames coming out, the expert says that then care should be even greater. “First thing: releases the device on the spot and walks away. If you get it, it takes off your outlet, but only if it is safe. No watering because the risk of electric shock is real. If you have an extinguisher nearby, better. But the main thing is to protect the person and, if there is any burns, seek medical attention fast”
Beware of heat; And with the hair
And it is not only in case of fires that dried brushes can be harmful to hair. Leticia Figueiredo, a specialist in hair therapy, explains that prolonged exposure to heat – with or without the presence of flames – can cause.
“For this, personalized hair schedules to reconstruct the hair make all the difference, because they recover the inside out. This is because heat can reach the deepest layers of the scalp and damage hair growth in that area – even definitively. In these more serious cases (such as the singer) are indicated treatments with technology such as LED, radiofrequency, and active biostimulants, to minimize damage and many, in many, and many Cases, recover follicular activity, ”he explains.
So if you are one of those who want to be more careful with hair health, and your own safety, check out some of the expert tips:
- Never forget to apply a thermal protector to the wires before using the dryer brush;
- Invest in products with amino acids, proteins and vegetable oils that act on hair fiber restructuring;
- For damaged, discolored or sensitized wires, use lower temperatures and equipment with ceramic technology, tourmaline or negative ions, which minimize the thermal impact; and
- Choose your dryer brush according to your hair type (straight, wavy, curly) – each structure supports a different track of temperature.
