Hair dryer holder: features of choice

Usually a hairdryer is used in the bathroom. But in the bathroom, it can come into contact with damp surfaces, which can be very dangerous.

It is very important to store the device in a place where moisture does not get into it. For these purposes, there is such a device as a hair dryer holder. This is a trendy little thing that will decorate your bathroom interior and keep you safe.

When buying a holder for a hair dryer, you need to pay attention to what material the device is made of. It is best to concentrate on the holders made of stainless steel... Be sure to carefully study the device before buying to make sure it is made of high quality.

Pay attention to the fastening - the holder must be screwed to the wall with screws. If you are afraid of ruining the tile with the fixing, then it can be screwed onto the inside of the cabinet, which is located under the sink.

Advantages of the hair dryer holder:

• Convenience... With its help, the hairdryer will always be at hand and the interior of the bathroom will become much better.
• Purchase availability... You can purchase the holder at any repair shop. Also, in order to save money, the device can be purchased in the online store.
• Saves space in the bathroom... With this device, you do not have to allocate a separate shelf for a hair dryer in an already cluttered nightstand. By attaching the device to the wall, the hair dryer will always be in its place within your sight and will not interfere with anyone.
• Security... With the help of the holder, you will protect the hair dryer from falling, as well as from contact with wet surfaces, which significantly reduces the risk of short circuits or damage to electrical wiring.

Today in stores you can find a wide variety of hair dryer holders, which differ from each other in shape, size and type of attachment.

As for the shape, the most popular are spiral models that will perfectly complement the interior of any bathroom.

The devices also differ in size. The dimensions of the device depend on the size of the hair dryer... There are holders in standard sizes, they will fit a regular hair dryer. But for professional devices, there are special larger models.

Also, the devices differ from each other in the mount. Today, the most popular are standard models with fastening to special screws. They are able to withstand heavy loads. But not every bathroom has the ability to attach such a device, because expensive tiles or plastic panels can be damaged during installation.

But this is not a problem, as there are suction cup holders for the hair dryer. This device has similar functions, its only drawback is the restriction on the weight of the device.

The most popular wall stand today, which has a flexible frame, for example, made of wire. Having such a product in your bathroom, you will always have "hands free". The structure can be wall-mounted without drilling. Also it is perfect for ironing, necklace or tongs.

In addition to their practical benefits, holders should also complement the interior of the bathroom and set the tone for it. The fixture must match the style of the interior.

Holders made of stainless steel are mainly available in two colors: chrome and bronze. The universal color for the holder is chrome.... Devices in this color are ideal for any bathroom color palette.

Holders made of silicone are available in various colors and come in pink, light green, blue, white, black and others.

Holders are made from:

• metal;
• plastic;
• silicone.

The hair dryer holder must be heat-resistant and durable, which is why they are made of bronze, satin and brass. The metal alloy is then plated with a chromium-colored electroplating base. Devices made of metal perfectly tolerate high humidity in the room and are very durable.

Holders are also made made of plastic. This type of device is less durable and will not last you long.... This type, as a rule, is several times cheaper than metal holders. Plastic models are attached to the wall using special suction cups, which, under the influence of gravity, can peel off and fall.

Today on the market, hair dryer holders made made of silicone. This material withstands high temperatures very well and is reliable in use.... Also, silicone is an environmentally friendly material. The devices made of silicone do not slip on the wall surface and thus minimize the fall of the hair dryer.

Silicone models come in a variety of colors and shapes, so you can always choose a hair dryer holder that matches your bathroom style.

In order to choose a high-quality hair dryer holder, for example, for gold, special attention should be paid to the material from which the device is made. As stated earlier, the very best holders are made from a variety of metal alloys.

Also pay attention to the type of attachment. It is best to buy fixtures that are attached with dowels... Fastening of this type is more reliable in the operation of the holder.

The size of the device should also be noted, because it may be too large for your device, or vice versa.

You can mount the holder for the hair dryer and curling iron yourself; this work does not require any special skills from you. Especially if your device is on suction cups. The only nuance that needs to be monitored is the absence of moisture between the vacuum and the wall surface. You also need to check that no air gets under the silicone, otherwise the device may come loose after a while and damage the hair dryer.

To mount holders made of metal alloy, it is necessary to drill holes in the wall with an electric drill into which the dowels are inserted. It is on them with the help of screws that the device must be fixed.

Before mounting the holder, you must carefully consider its location. The fixture should be located near a power outlet. Also for ease of use, the device must be installed near the mirror.

If you are worried about the interior of the bathroom and think that the device will only spoil its appearance, then it can be fixed on the inside of the furniture.

If you like to come up with something new and have at least minimal creative abilities, then creating a holder with your own hands will not be difficult for you. For these purposes can be used pipe splitter, stationery organizer, old wooden boxes and much more. The most important thing is to show your imagination in the manufacture of the fixture, and then it will perfectly fit into the interior of your bathroom.

One of the more popular ideas for a hair dryer holder is a pipe splitter. To make a holder from it, you will need a double pipe splitter, a bottom from a CD package, a can of paint and superglue.

Algorithm of work:

1. First you need to glue the bottom of the CD package to the pipe splitter using super glue.
2. Then we start painting the pipe. To do this, it is necessary to cover the work surface with old newspapers so as not to stain anything. Next, we move on to the stage of painting the product. In order to obtain a rich color, it is necessary to apply at least three coats. Dry the product for at least thirty minutes after each layer. A long drying time is necessary for the best adhesion of the paint to the surface of the splitter.
3. After the splitter has dried, you can proceed to the decorating stage. It is best to decorate the hair dryer stand with beautiful stones. They will give her a certain charm, as well as add weight. The heavier the hair dryer stand is, the less likely it is to tip over with any awkward movement.

If you have knitting skills, you can tie a beautiful pattern with a crochet hook, and put some kind of weight on the bottom of the stand. The load can be anything, such as a bag of sand or stones.

Also, the pipe splitter is triple. If you make a stand from it, then in addition to a hair dryer and tongs, combs or other items of women's toilet can be placed there.
