Hair Tools Travel Bag troubleshooting
Quick fixes for a tool that won't fit, a closure that won't stay shut, a new-bag scent, moisture inside, and creases or pilling on the neoprene.
A tool doesn't fit or feels tight
- Measure your tool from the tip to the end of the handle. The bag holds tools up to about 15 inches long and 4 inches wide.
- Take cords and accessories out of the main compartment and move them into the pockets.
- Lay the tool flat and straight rather than at an angle.
Extra-long, salon-length or very bulky tools may not fit.
The zipper or the magnetic flap won't close
- Check whether the bag is overfilled. Extra bulk strains the zipper and keeps the flap's two magnets from lining up.
- Take out one item at a time until the zipper runs smoothly.
- Make sure the tools lie flat and centered, and no cord is caught in the zipper.
- Zip the bag first, then fold the flap over so the magnets meet.
The bag has a scent when new
A mild scent is normal for new neoprene. Leave the bag open in a well-ventilated room for about 24 hours and it should fade.
There's moisture inside the bag
- Make sure your tools are completely dry before you pack them.
- Wash the bag by hand and let it dry fully with the bag open. The care guide has the steps.
The bag is water-resistant, so it handles light spills and splashes. It isn't waterproof.
Creases or fuzz balls on the outside
Both are normal for neoprene. Remove creases with a fabric steamer using downward strokes. Remove pilling with a fabric shaver in small circles.
I'm not sure it's safe to pack a warm tool
The inside of the bag is heat-resistant, so you can pack a tool while it's still warm. Switch the tool off and unplug it first. If it has just come off full heat, give it a few minutes to cool.
Still not right?
