Some pronominal verbs can take two objects and in that case, the reflexive pronoun will become indirect and thus not agree with the noun.

« Elle s'est brûlée. »
There is only one object, the direct object « se ». Since « se » is before the verb, participle agrees with it and since « se » is the reflexive, it agrees with the subject.

« Elle s'est brûlé la main. »
There are two objects; « la main » as the direct object and « se » as the indirect. Since « la main » is after the verb, there is no agreement.
