Keeping curling irons, straightening irons and even blow dryers safely stored can be difficult. After all, you can™t very well put them away in a drawer or cabinet while they are hot. A good solution for this is to take a metal file box and use it for storage.
You can easily hang the box from the wall or side of a cabinet by just cutting holes in the back and using Command hooks for hanging. Metal file boxes are non-flammable which make them a great choice for storing those heated appliances and you can keep them within easy reach of the bathroom mirror. The metal boxes look great and give you the perfect storage solution for items that are normally a bit difficult to store properly.
