... having your hair tongs catch fire after going to bed, you live in student halls of residence
Man sparks panic as hair tongs ignite
A TEENAGER fast asleep in his bed was rescued by firefighters after his hair tongs sparked a major alert in a hall of residence.
Scores of students were evacuated from Edinburgh University’s Pollock Halls of Residence after the teenager’s smouldering hair tongs filled rooms with smoke around 5.30am yesterday morning.
Firefighters form Tollcross and Liberton searched Chancellor’s Court beside Holyrood Park after the evacuation and discovered the hair tongs and the 19-year-old man still asleep in his bed. The teenager was fully conscious and breathing and is not thought to have been injured.
A spokeswoman from Lothian and Borders Fire Brigade said: "We got the call at 5.45am. It was a 19-year-old male. The fire was at Chancellor’s Court at Pollock Halls of Residence. The dormitory was filled with smoke. The hair tongs had been left on and were smouldering.
"The rest of the building had been evacuated. Firefighters carried out a search of the premises to look for the source of the fire. He was still in his bed. He was breathing and conscious."
Three appliances and a height appliance attended the incident.

do not cut your own hair if it is curly, unless you are pro cutter from a salon, i tried to cut wings like from charli'es angels show from the 1970s and my hair is naturally caurly, what a mistake, it looks like puppy dog ears, so i am letting it grow out, then i will perm the hair straight into wings instead. curly hair just can't be cut into certain styles, what a satanic drag.

That's my question, too! I've never heard of hair tongs. What are they?

I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.
