    If you search hot irons you will see many that go up to 450.
    Obviously hair burns, it melts slowly -
    it doesn't explode or flash fire , I doubt it would even with some wax.
    but meh, we are pretty much saying the same thing.

    hair doesnt burst into flames? then how did this hair fire burn down an entire house?
    hmmmm

    The temperature data from the three thermocouples were averaged and the plot below presents the time vs. temperature data from the comparative tests. The fire is ignited at the point where the temperature begins to rise.

    Temperature versus time of clean hair and treated hair



    notice this temp at whgich the hair ignited is pretty low, but took a good while to light
    higher temps cause faster combustion

    lets not forget this
    they now say the pain caused from the dammage done by this hair fire lead to his drug problem that egvenentualy killed hiim..

    oh yea but hair doesnt burn does it

    His hair caught fire because of the chemicals in it. Hair spray- which I said earlier.
    and hair spray covered hair will ignite
    .Hair spray and other chemical covered hair can and does ignite easy.Not the same as regular clean (or even wax covered) hair which melts before it ignite.
    450 hair irons can melt/burn and damage hair. they do not/could not light your head on fire without some accelerate in it.
    The very link and pic you posted earlier explains it


    This is a ridiculous argument I cannot believe I am even having.
    Fine.SE. clean hair and skin is combustible. avoid open flame and heat sources you could explode like a fire cracker.

    yes a hasir iron can cause combustion on clean hair given enough time at 450 its only meant to contacty the hair a few seconds if you know anything about heat transfer and specific heat 1 object at 450 does not instantly increase another object to the same temp, a period of time must elapse to bring the hair to combustion temp

    as you can see by that chart i posted at 130 minutes approximately both untreatted and treatted hair burst into flames at basicly the same point in time and temp (notice how much below 450 that temp is?) the only difference is the intencity of heat and duration of flames produced by the treatted haiur

    wax is used as what..a fuel in candlkes to make them burn brighter (hotter) and longfer so its safe to assume wax also makes hair more flamable

    wax doesnt catch fire though. It just melts. If heated it won't "burst into flames"

    whben it melts it creates a vapor, its that vapor that burns
    just like liquid gasoline wont burn but it has a very low temp that it evaporates at, and its that vapor thats explosive


    are you seriusly trying to claim that in a candle the wax is only there to hold the string in place and the string magicly burns for hours?

    think before you speak..why are candles made of wax

    wait is there a brick wall i can talk to?

    I'm impressed that you understand something as simple as a candle. After some of the other shit you've said on here

    I never claimed that wax doesnt act as a fuel for the candle, but it certainly does not catch fire or burst into flames. It liquifies and then evaporates. It certainly doesn't "explode"

    dumb ass


    Or perhaps I will type it in a language you understand

    ooooook boys

    so, extreme heat for any type of hair is no good. and it is possible that your head will catch on fire under extreme circumstances. can we all just agree on that?
