hair dryer- home made attachment - Science question?

ok so i made a home made diffuser for my hair dryer - out of wire and tin foil - kinda like a foil lamp shade with a covered end with holes poked in it.simply because i cannot find a diffuser sold separate around here.so my dryer has 2 setting low and high and the foil gets hot ( but so dose the plastic dryer) what i want to know is will there be some kind of electric problems since its aluminum foillike over heat and bust the fuse box? or spark?

Answer:

lift you? more like throw you to the moon
Holy crap, kid, get a freaking lifeHow many freaking times have you created another account and asked a question about a diva lifting you?
If you've only stuck foil to the outside of the dryer there should (note the weasel-word) be no electrical hazardAll the electrical parts should be safely housed inside where you can't get to themIf you've stuck anything up the barrel of the dryer to attach your diffuser I'd be worriedBad idea! The biggest hazard, from where I sit, is heatIt is possible for the foil to get hot enough to cause burnsAluminum will absorb and hold heat much better than plastic, so it can get much hotter than the plastic caseBe very careful.
