Dry shampoo has a stellar reputation for saving you from a bad hair day. However, it can also cause quite a scare, as a mother in Missouri realized firsthand. Christine Debrecht found the sunroof of her daughter's car completely shattered, initially thinking the damage came from a falling object. But the pattern of the broken glass didn't fit. She soon discovered that high temperatures caused a dry shampoo bottle stowed inside the car to explode and fly out the sunroof.
Debrecht snapped photos of the broken sunroof and shared them on Facebook as a warning to others. The damage from the little dry shampoo can is jaw-dropping. The aersol can didn't just fly through the sunroofit blew through the console first and traveled another 50 feet away from the car before settling in for a landing.
I really feel like I need to spread the word about this and hopefully prevent others from experiencing this damage or even injury, Debrecht wrote on Facebook. It was hot yesterday and the can exploded. It blew the console cover off its hinges, shot through the sunroof, and went high enough in the air that it landed about 50 feet away.
"I just want to remind you (and your kids) to heed those warnings on products you may be using," she continued in the post.

The product that exploded does include explicit storage instructions. Equate Dry Shampoo includes a specific warning, like most aerosol products, that it may explode if heated and not stored as directed, per a statement to NBC News .
Debrecht wrapped up her post: "Please don't leave aerosol cans (and especially dry shampoo, as this seems to be an issue with some brands) in your car! I am so grateful that no one was hurt."
