    Outlets for daughters rooms
    It seem my daughters are always tripping breakers with their hair blow dryers, curling iron and hair straiter. Well we are remodeling and would like to make sure we wire on this does not happen. I have 4 girls plus my wife, a lot of time dealing with their hair.
    Seem to happen in their bedrooms mostly.

    If more then one hair appliance is used at the same time, the breaker will trip due to overload. Add at least two 20 amp circuits to the bedrooms.
