My insulated bag for my hair straightener is old and pretty worn, but it prevents anything from getting char marks on it from the iron. When I saw this listed, I knew I had to snatch it up. I love silicone products, and I thought about all the possibilities of maintaining its pleasing aesthetics since silicone is easy to clean and doesnt lose shape. Much to my dismay, it was a huge disappointment. When I took my flat iron out to use, I initially placed it in the bag to see how it would fare with the iron turned on inside. After all, you will store it while its hot and use it as a resting place while doing your hair. After a couple of minutes, I picked it up and felt the bag, and it was hot enough to warrant wearing a heat-protective glove. I placed the iron on it to see if it would get as hot with two layers of silicone beneath it rather than being between them. It was still piping hot! I decided it would not be worth my while to chance burning anything and testing it any further with the degree of heat. This is a product I will not use again. Ill stick with my old insulated thermal pad until I find a suitable replacement. No. Just no.

The item is fantastic for the price. It really does help to protect counter tops from HOT hair appliances. Works well with a Flat Iron straightener.

This heat mat works great! Some of my hair tools don’t have a stand. I’ve been hanging them over my sink so they don’t burn my countertops. I got tired of doing that and decided to order a heat mat. This can withhold a 450 degree tool with no problem. When I lifted up the tool and the mat, my countertops still felt cool to the touch. I love that this mat also opens up and you can put your hot tool inside of it. It makes traveling or storing away really easy. Both sides are the same and have the extra squiggly lines for better protection. I would definitely recommend this heat mat.

Great for putting hot tools here without burning your counter.

This is what I was looking for a long time. I did not know where to put my Curling Iron and ended up putting it on my lap risking burning myself each time. This works like a charm. Well done.

Exactly what I was looking for, good quality, would recommend!

I love this silicone heat protector. It fits my styling tools and having the pouch is perfect for travel!

Exactly as described, I highly recommend! Two thumbs up!

I used this for my flat iron never had anything to rest it on and when I would have to leave the house I didn’t feel comfortable leaving it on the side cooling off. So I found this ordered it and I really like it. I love the fact that I can also put my flat iron inside when I’m done.

Light and flexible, so simple to store I’m amazed. I had my vera Bradley fabric protector for years, but I like these a lot more. Also, in my view it will fit two styling tools not just one. Doubles as a heat resistant pad to protect wood and other surfaces.
