Ever worried about death by hair tool?
Because I use my hair tools next to my bathroom sink – that's where the outlet is – I've often thought, one of these days I'm going to have a Young Frankenstein –type accident.
The flat iron or the curling iron could slip into the bowl, and if there's water in there zap! – instant Madeline Kahn. Or worse.
In the category of, Why hasn't someone thought of this before? comes the Hot Iron Holster (they actually did win this year's Next Big Zing Award in the beauty category).
This handy dandy little silicone styling tool miracle flaps over your sink and stays there. I popped my flat iron, 2 curling irons and a hair dryer all in there and it didn't have a meltdown.
Actually, it clings to any smooth surface without suction cups or adhesives, but I've also flopped it over my towel rack because it clings to itself to keep it in place. And makes way for more surface area.
I feel safer running out while they're still in the cool down phase, too.
The Holster folks suggest traveling with it, because it's ideal for those little airplane bathrooms if you need to get ready before you land. Which makes me think of highway rest stops – you could really use it for anything — makeup, hairbrushes — so nothing has to touch those grotty, germ-laden counters. Yuk.
But in the main, the Hot Iron Holster gives you more space and keeps you and your counters burn free (and safer from electrocution!). In 4 colors, $24.95
Holster your hair tools and you're ready for action.
