Default Question For Canadian Girls

ok... this is probably a stupid question... BUT...

I was straightening my hair and on my straightener's warning label it says "Canada: not for household use"...

... so y'all can't use straighteners in your house? do y'all have different plug ins? or is it something else? I'm just wondering and I thought maybe y'all could answer it...

Mine doesn't say anything on it either. Some are designed for salon use only they get too hot or some dumb thing like that. Canada rules relly suck when it comes to not having shut offs and such. Maybe that is one that doesn't pass the freakin government standards for household use.

well... maybe that explains it... I did buy mine from a stylist who bought it at one of those "cosmetolgist license only" places... it does get real hot... makes the bathroom feel like a sauna...

I know this is the Candyland - but if you are interested in the real reason it says that - its because it is not approved for use in Canada. In other words, the manufacturer has not taken steps to get the necessary testing and certification done for the device to be electrically approved for use or sale.
