Sheila's Wheels home insurance highlights dangers of home beautification

Beautifying yourself at home rather than visiting a salon may seem like a good way to save money during the credit crunch, but Sheila's Wheels home insurance has revealed that this is not always the case.

The company, which specialises in insurance for women, calculated that accidents with beauty products cost UK households an average of £153 last year as increasing numbers of women took to beautifying themselves at home.

Of those who had accidents, 85 per cent admitted to burning the carpet with hair-curling tongs, while 53 per cent said they had ruined bed linen by staining it with fake tan.

Jacky Brown at Sheilas' Wheels home insurance, said: "Dyes, lotions and cosmetics can stain and many hair styling gadgets can reach extremely high temperatures and may cause considerable damage if left on accidentally."

Recent research by Sainsbury's Home Insurance suggested that a DIY approach to home improvements is also causing damage to many households in the UK.
