People use hair dryers in bathrooms daily. You just need to follow safety precautions to prevent the dryer from shorting out, which could cause injury or even death. Many bathroom outlets are equipped with GFI or GFS safety switches and these should be used for maximum safety.

Precautions:

  • Do not pull the dryer plug out by the cord.
  • Do not immerse the dryer in water.
  • Do not let the dryer motor become wet.
  • Handle the dryer with dry hands when possible.
  • Do not stand barefoot on a wet or concrete floor, or in a bathtub
  • Do not use a dryer that has a worn or damaged cord.
  • Do not use a dryer that emits smoke, sparks, or loud noises.
  • Do not use adapters or extension cords.

Why shouldn't you use a hair dryer in the bathroom?

Using a hair dryer in the bathroom can be dangerous because of the presence of water, which can increase the risk of electric shock. Additionally, the humidity in the bathroom can affect the hair dryer and its electrical components, potentially causing damage or malfunction. It is safer to use a hair dryer in a dry area to avoid any accidents.


Why hair dryer work with bed room outlet but not work with gfci outlet at bath room?

It could be that the bathroom circuit simply has more on it so the hair dryer is pushing the circuit beyond its limit. In a typical bathroom, properly wired, this would not be the case. But if there are lights on the circuit other than in the bathroom (it would take a lot of lights for this to be a problem), or if there is a source of heat in the bathroom that is on, this may be where your problem is.

You, my friend, have a problem with your hairdryer! The windings for your motor or the heater are brushing the ground system within the dryer. The whole reason we have GFCI systems is to prevent you from using that very device in your bathroom. Buy a new one!


Can you use a blow dryer to straighten hair that is already dry?

Its really easy to straighten your hair with a hair-dryer. To straighten your hair using a hair-dryer you need to comb/brush your hair then get a hair-dryer and put the heat level on high for about 20 seconds whilst combing/brushing. Then turn the hair-dryer off and just your hair will be straight. It may be frizzy but for this you can use hairspray to flatten.
