Clampdown

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I accidentally clamped my hair straightener down on my ear. Eleven hours later, it still feels like I have a burning, swollen fireball hanging off the side of my head. FML

I do that all the time! don't worry

That sounds painful I have never burned my ear. I always burn my neck or my back.

Thanks but my natural hair is straight it gets wavy at the bottom so I use a straightener.

Same with my hair. I always straighten my ends. And when I try to curl my hair, it won't hold.

I curl the top because my hair will flatten out. By the end of the day it looks like I curled the bottom. You should use lots of hairspray it might stay longer.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that next time :).

Straighteners get really hot. Plus it actually not that hard to burn your chin. I've never gotten that bad of a burn before though.

I have two marks on my arm from the straightener. My mom was about to straighten my hair so I sat on her bed and fell on it. Btw, I would do it myself, but I can reach the back. Plus I'm too impatient XD
