__________
How-to Instructions:
Choose Your Side:- Lay the mat flat with the soft, lined side facing up. This is where you’ll place your heated styling tools.
- Flip the mat over to reveal the side with pockets and side button closures for convenient storage.
- Turn on your favorite styling tool, like a flat iron or curling wand. Let it heat up while you get the mat ready.
- Once your styling tool is heated, lay it directly on the lined side of the mat. The non-slip silicone texture keeps it secure, preventing any accidental falls.
- Now you can style your hair without worrying about damaging your countertops or encountering body burns.
- After you’re done styling, unplug your tool and let it cool.
- Once cool, place your styling tool in the pockets on the storage side. The button closures will keep it safe and secure for your next styling session.
- After each use, simply wipe down the silicone surface (the side that was used) to keep it clean and fresh (a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol will work well).
- When you’re finished, fold the mat neatly. Its lightweight design makes it easy to store in your drawer or take with you on the go.

Do’s:
Do Use the Lined Side for Heat Tools:
- Always place your heated styling tools on the soft, lined side of the mat to ensure optimal protection for your surfaces.

__________
Don’ts:
Don’t Place Tools Directly on Surfaces:
- Avoid placing hot tools directly on countertops or other surfaces without using the mat for protection.
Don’t Use on Unstable Surfaces:
- Avoid using the mat on uneven or unstable surfaces to prevent accidental slips or falls.
Don’t Leave Hot Tools Unattended:
- Never leave your heated styling tools on the mat unattended; always keep an eye on them.
Don’t Ignore Cleaning Needs:
- Neglecting to clean the mat after use can lead to buildup, affecting its look, and even its effectiveness.
Don’t Overstuff the Pockets:
- Avoid cramming too many tools into the storage pockets, as this may cause damage or unnecessary wear & tear.
Don’t Fold When Hot:
- Never fold or store the mat while your styling tools are still hot to avoid damage to the silicone material.
Don’t Use with Excessively Hot Tools:
- Be cautious when using tools that exceed the mat’s heat resistance limit (450°F).
Don’t Expose to Direct Sunlight for Long Periods:
- Avoid leaving the mat in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may cause it to fade or wear down unnecessarily.

Bonus Pro Tips:
- When packing for travel, roll the mat with your styling tool already inside. This not only saves space but protects your tools from damage during transit.
- If you're using multiple tools, consider layering them on the mat with the largest tool at the bottom and smaller tools on top. This maximizes space and keeps everything neat.
