Plot
A woman named Betty on a double date with Suzy refuses to let her boyfriend, Joe make out with her, fearing her beehive hairdo will be ruined. Finally, he gets frustrated with her and the two step outside to smoke cigarettes, with Joe lighting hers for her. Only one problem: back in the 50's, hairspray contained alcohol and other flammable substances, causing Betty's hair to burn hotter and longer. The flame from his lighter sets fire to her hair, saturated with hairspray. Betty dies when the fire spreads to her scalp, burning her brain and cooking her skull.
"In an instant, Betty's hair became a towering inferno."
