Home remedies: What else you can use hairspray for

Home remedy: What you can use hairspray for!

1. remove chocolate ice cream

Oh no - it happens very quickly: while you're still trying to shove the ice cream spoon into your mouth, the ice cream has already spilled onto your trousers. And unfortunately, chocolate ice cream can leave stubborn stains. What can you do? Spray the stain well with hairspray and put the garment in the wash as usual. The stain is guaranteed to be gone!

2. prevent staining

A mass phenomenon in the 80s that mainly plagued men: loafers stained white tennis socks. But of course dark shoes still stain light socks today, even though white tennis socks have (almost) disappeared. What can you do? Spray the inside of the shoes with hairspray before wearing them - a thin protective layer is enough. It's best to do this regularly before wearing!

3. attach suction hooks with hairspray

Suction hooks are ideal if you don't want to drill holes - and to be honest, you don't want to damage tiles every time you want to hang a tea towel or washcloth. Especially in a rented apartment. What can you do? Spray a thin layer of hairspray on the back of the hook and press it firmly against the wall for a few seconds. That's it. Sits, fits, has air!

For extreme hold: Hairspay Osis from Schwarzkopf - also available in a 100 ml bottle for on the go!

4. for threading the needle

Hours later: You're still sitting there trying to thread your hair? What should you do? Instead of wasting even more valuable time, simply spray the thread with a little hairspray and it will be easy to thread through the eyelet. Houston - we no longer have a problem!

5. fixing make-up

Whether in summer or for a special occasion: if you want your make-up to last a long time, high temperatures or the duration of events quickly push us to our limits. You get the feeling that your make-up will just slip off your face at some point. What to do? Professionals swear by a hearty blast from the hairspray bottle because it sets the make-up. It's practical if you're just spraying your hair, then you can also go over your face. But please don't do this all the time and cleanse your skin thoroughly in the evening!
