advice please if possible hairdryer exploded, nothing to do with plug/wiring

gemmy26wales

hiya, i was just wondering if someone could help.

i have had this hairdryer for just under 2 years. do not have the receipt, nor the packaging (whoever does when things go wrong lol)

i only use a hair dryer when i need to dry my hair quickly-normally leave it overnight to dry. so i have used it about no more than 25 times since purchasing it.

last night i was drying my hair for about 1 minute. as i turned up the dial to increase the drying power i heard a big bang in my ear (thats where the hairdryer was pointing as i was drying the sides of my hair.

i threw the hair dryer on my bed and ripped out the plug from the socket. there was a slight burning smell too and pieces of plastic in my hair!!!!!!!!!

i picked up the dryer and examined it. when you moved it, the inside sounded like a rattle. and plastic bits came out of the nozzle.

just dont know where or even to bother sending it back!!!

thanks for taking the time to read. xxx

p.s. i have contacted vidal sassoon on their contact us page, yet to hear anything. xxx

Doesn't that make your pillows cold and soggy?

nah. normally i wash my hair and give it a good few hours to air dry, so it's damp when i go to bed. pillows still nice and dry in the morning x

Proc

2 years. Hairdryer. Probably cheap?

Doubt there's much you can do.

By the way, you could have just said "My hair dryer is nearly 2 years old and tonight it stopped working. What can I do?". Would have saved you some time.
