Ayres had left the hairspray in her car's backseat.

With temperatures outside reaching the low-90's, the inside of the car heated up and caused the can to explode.

"At first I looked up, because I thought maybe something fell," Eyres told the station. "But then I noticed it was from the inside out. I was in shock and then I realized what it was."
