That’s a great trick. I was always told to use a metal spoon and get it as hot as you can stand it and press it the bite as much as you can and as long as you can stand it. Never thought about the hair dryer.

The hair dryer is much more controllable, you might severely burn yourself with the spoon (and need another trick to relive the pain ;)

For what it's worth my hair is so short I never owned a hair drier until I heard about this trick. So I bought a cheap one and it's only used in summer.
