Only sensible thing to replace is the whole tongs.

Having a homebrew high power electric device connected to someone's head? What could possibly go wrong?

How will you feel if a bodged repair damages someone else? (I doubt anybody, yourself included, would worry if you damaged yourself that way).

It's a thermal fuse that should have temperature rating written on it. Unwrap kapton tape so you can read it.

How replacing it with appropriate part suddenly makes it homebrew?

It doesn't, but in view of the fact that brand name versions of these, (Remington etc) can be bought new for £20, all considered, it might be better not to mess with it.
