Even when not in use, plugged-in devices draw small amounts of electricity, a phenomenon known as “phantom load” or “vampire power.” Over time, this increases energy bills. Unplugging your hair dryer saves energy and money.
4. Potential Damage to the Hair Dryer
Continuous electrical exposure can wear down a hair dryer’s internal components, shortening its lifespan. Unplugging after each use helps maintain functionality and prevent costly repairs.

Bathrooms are high-risk areas for electrical accidents. A plugged-in hair dryer near water can lead to electrocution. Always unplug and store it safely away from sinks, bathtubs, or showers.
6. Child Safety Concerns
Curious children may turn on a plugged-in hair dryer or drop it into water, creating serious hazards. Unplugging and storing it out of reach protects children from accidents.
