Organise your haircare tools better with this ‘brilliant’ $5 Kmart trick!

We all love a good trick, especially when it's affordable and solves those little everyday annoyances.
One savvy Kmart shopper has stirred up a virtual storm with her simple yet genius $5 trick for hair straightener storage—and it's set the internet ablaze with excitement.
The trick, which involved using a Kmart 2 Pack Sponge Holder ($5) as a resting place for a hair straightener, was shared by a savvy shopper on social media.
The post quickly went viral, garnering over 1,100 likes and more than 100 comments from fellow Kmart enthusiasts eager to try the trick for themselves.
The original poster shared her delight at the practicality of the trick, writing, 'My little Kmart hack, awesome! No more waiting for a hair straightener to cool down to put away.'
She included pictures of her hair straightener nestled in the sponge holder, demonstrating the simplicity and effectiveness of her idea.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many users excited to try the trick.
'Ooh yes! Putting that in my basket!' one person commented, while another exclaimed, 'You have blown my mind! I will be on the hunt for these!'
‘You beauty! Thanks, I didn't know what to do with my extra one,’ added a third.
The 2 Pack Sponge Holder is designed to be installed using adhesive tape. According to the Kmart website, it adheres best to tiled or metal surfaces.
But the benefits of this trick extend beyond just a convenient place to cool down your hair straightener. It's also a clever space-saving solution, particularly for those with limited bathroom bench space.
As one user noted, 'I don’t have much bench space, but I definitely can put it on the wall.'
The versatile sponge holder has also been used for various other purposes around the home, from holding power boards on bedside tables to storing kitchen utensils, sports equipment, and even decorative items.
One reviewer on the Kmart website praised the product's versatility, writing, 'I've used these for other things, holding chopping boards, a skateboard, pot lids, as decoration hangers, as fitness mat hangers. The possibilities are endless. Stronger and more reliable than the stick-on hooks from other brands.'
However, some users did express concerns about the adhesive's longevity. One person warned that the adhesive might not be strong enough to hold a hair straightener for extended periods.
‘The adhesive wore out in two days with my one. It was in the sink like the photo and left behind a sticky residue. I was very fond of it, too,’ she said.
Another suggested using 'extra double-sided tape' to ensure the holder stays in place.
Kmart has been a treasure trove of all things affordable finds for our needs.
In a previous story, a shopper shared her strategy for creating a stylish and functional coffee station using another item from Kmart.
