If you are concerned that your extension socket is at risk of being overloaded, calculate the total power of everything you will be plugging into it, or consider buying an extension socket with a separate switch for each plug.

4. Covering the extension socket with something else

When electricity flows through the wire, the electrons generate heat. While normally this isn’t a big deal, if your extension cord is hidden under a rug or in a confined space, it could pose a fire hazard.

Additionally, if you accidentally step on it, you could damage not only the cord itself but also the appliances plugged into it, and you could also get an electric sh0ck.

5. Plugging Beauty Tools Into the Same Extension Socket

Curling irons, straighteners, hair dryers, and other beauty tools all generate heat and use a lot of electricity (high amperage) to generate that heat. Regular extension sockets are not designed to handle this kind of high-current intensity, so it’s advisable to plug these beauty tools into a wall outlet protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
