What should you consider when you are buying an iron holder?
Holder type
Deciding which type of iron holder you need may sound easy but it is not. Before deciding this, you should mind the space that you have available for the holder. If you don’t have enough space to place it on a table, then you can opt for wall mount holders that can be easily attached to the wall or you can even choose a holder that has hooks so you can just hang it on the cabinet door. On the other side, if you have space available you can choose tray mat holders or event stand holders if you have the space needed.
Material used
It is not impossible for the heat emitted by the flat iron to actually meltdown a poor quality holder. Therefore, it is important to check if the desired iron holder is made with heat resistant materials in order to avoid destroying it with the iron’s heat. Also, you should look for holders made from sturdy materials as there still is a low chance of dropping the holder (especially if it is not a holder fixed with screws such as the wall mount holders).
If you are going to mount your holder in the bathroom you should also think about the damage over time caused by the water and water vapors. Therefore, you may need to look for a flat iron holder that presents water-resistant materials.
Features
Consider storage possibilities. Depending on the holder, you can be able to store only one flat iron or even two or three flat irons, sometimes the holder may even have slots for different accessories such as blow dryers or brushes. It is really important to consider the storage possibilities offered by the holder as it may save more space than you ever expected.
Consider the holder size. Do not ever buy a holder just because you think it may fit. Do proper research on its sizes and then check with a ruler if it fits before buying it especially if you are low on space.
Consider the looks. We all know that the looks matter, everyone wants to have their personal space to look astonishing but your design can easily be ruined by a little mistake such as getting a holder that won’t match. Therefore, think in advance about how it would look and try to find a holder that will also match your design preferences.
Consider the price. Even if usually the flat iron holders are not that expensive, it does not mean that the price would be paying for them reflects their true value. It is important to know how to create a balance between the price and value and to ask yourself if it is worth it. If your answer is still yes, then you may be found the perfect holder for you.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I can say that you should not pick the first holder you find online just because you need one. As I mentioned earlier, the process of finding a good flat iron holder is not that easy and it will require some time if you want to be 100% satisfied with your purchase. As you have a lot of things to consider before buying the holder, it is really important to have the patience needed to search for the perfect holder for you.
It is guaranteed that you will find what you actually need as the market offers such a wide variety of flat iron holders, but all you need is the time and the patience to take a look at them and to properly research them as the first impressions may not be true and you shouldn’t decide based on good looking images alone.
Moreover, the most important thing is to consider your needs, the most suitable holder will be the one that is able to match the most of your needs.
