VIDEO: MAKE A DIY FLAMETHROWER OUT OF YOUR HAIRDRYER



No need to spend excessive amounts of money on Elon Musk's new flamethrower. The cheaper, more travel-friendly version is here with the OraCorp hair dryer!

Erika Augthun Shoolbred got the fright of her life after unwrapping and using her new hair dryer, recently delivered by Amazon, which promptly began to smoke when turned on and then BAM! Flames came shooting out the nozzle (No we aren't exaggerating). Luckily the hair dryer wasn't pointed at her head and only resulted in a small burn on her hand and a very stinky bathroom. She took to Facebook to complain, posting footage of the hairdryer/flamethrower with the caption: “Talk about a bad hair day! My new hair dryer (more like hair fryer) from OraCorp on Amazon.com became a blowtorch on its first use this morning.”

In an interview, she said that she was lucky that her daughter wasn't with her at the time or that the hair dryer wasn't pointed at her head, resulting in a horrific outcome. She said Amazon described the hairdryer as "salon grade" and has received a full refund from Amazon who promptly pull the product from the site. OraCorp has not commented on the product while Shoolbred has tried to contact the company with no luck, and very little other option, as they don't appear to have a website.

Unfortunately, Shoolbred's story is not the first of its kind with many people commenting on her Facebook post saying that they had experienced similar disasters, one person even commented saying: "My hairdryer started shooting sparks at me and had a mini flame on one of the heating elements.” Obviously, the worst thing to do is panic and douse the flames with water (water and electricity don't exactly mix well). T

he first thing to do is unplug the dryer which should make the flames die down but, if the flame continues to bur, evacuate mission, escape the house, call 911 and vow never to blow dry your hair again!
