Have you ever tried to take a can of dry shampoo on a plane? Well, you can't, because the secret to oil-free day-four hair happens to be an aerosol spray – and sometimes aerosol cans can blow up. It's for that same reason that Ipsy has warned its customers against a DS featured in one of its boxes.

According to Refinery29, some customers received their monthly packages and left them in their hot cars, not realizing the box of beauty goodies contains a v flammable can of Luseta Beauty Volume Reviving Dry Shampoo.

The result:

Okay, well it's probably not as dramatic as that, but still – no explosion is a good explosion and six people have already reported car/dry shampoo-related incidents.

Following these reports, Ipsy sent out an email to its customers warning them against leaving the product in extreme heat.

"Like other aerosol products, this dry shampoo is flammable, so please exercise care: avoid fire, flame, or smoke during use, and protect from sunlight or heat," they wrote. And two days later, they sent out a follow-up, saying: "DON'T PLACE YOUR GLAM BAG MAILER ON THE DASHBOARD OF YOUR CAR."

Do yourself a favor and leave the fiery explosions to the pros.
