Top 5 Hairspray Hacks for Your Home (Wow!)
Many Simplify ladies are probably familiar with hairspray. What was it that Dolly Parton said again? “The higher the hair, the closer to God”? Well, even if you’re not from the South (or generally interested in having Ms. Parton-style big bouffant hair), you either probably have used or seen it used at some point in your life.
However, did you know that hairspray can be more than just a styling product for your hair? In fact, it can be a handy household hack that can help with various tasks around the house. From removing stains to preventing runs in stockings, hairspray can be an inexpensive and versatile solution for some annoying everyday problems. In this blog post, Simplify brings you five of the best ways to use hairspray in your home and discover how it can make your life easier.
1. Spray hairspray on stained clothes
Hairspray can be used to remove stubborn stains from clothing, upholstery, and even carpet. Simply spray the affected area with hairspray, let it sit for a few minutes, and then blot the stain away with a clean cloth.
2. Use hairspray to prevent static cling
If you’re tired of dealing with static cling on your clothes, try spraying some hairspray on the inside of the garment before you put it on. The hairspray will help reduce static and keep your clothes from clinging to you.
3. Repair a ladder in your tights
If your tights starts to run, spray some hairspray over the area to prevent the run from getting worse. The hairspray will create a barrier that helps hold the fibers together and keep the run from spreading.
4. Seal envelopes
If you’re out of glue and don't like licking them first, hairspray can be a great alternative for sealing envelopes. Spray a small amount of hairspray on the flap of the envelope, press it down, and let it dry. The hairspray will create a temporary seal that will hold until you can get some glue.
5. Keep flowers fresh
Hairspray can be used to keep cut flowers looking fresh for longer. Spray a light mist of hairspray over the flowers and allow it to dry. The hairspray will help the flowers retain moisture and prevent them from wilting.
Hairspray: A Household Win
Overall, hairspray can be a versatile and cost-effective household hack for a variety of tasks. Whether you’re looking to remove stains or prevent static cling, keep a can of hairspray on hand and see how it can make your life easier!
