Ten Alternative Uses for Hairspray
Makeup Trivia
More than just for bouffant hairdos, hairspray has other uses as well. Ten such uses are:
* Ladies, fix a run in your pantyhose or stockings in a pinch by spraying with the strongest hold spray you have
* Spilled ink or dye (non-chlorine) can often be removed by applying hairspray before washing
* If you’re all out of Raid and need to get rid of a spider, hairspray that bug
* Cover inexpensive plastic fruit with iridescent glitter for the frosted look by spraying the fruit with hairspray (cheap stuff works great) then dip into glitter
* Pastel and charcoal artists who don’t have fixative can use hairspray (“dry” hairspray works best) to seal in their work
* Get permanent marker off of some surfaces by spraying with hairspray, then wiping
* Nail polish spills, especially on carpet and other synthetic fiber, can be cleaned by adding water, about 15-20 squirts of hair spray and 3-5 splashes of rubbing alcohol. Scrub and blot with a paper towel.
* When doing home improvements using chalk lines, spray the line with hairspray to prevent it from rubbing off right away. Easy to clean with water and soap.
* Those cotton spider webs put up at Halloween can shed small fibers all over your home, but spraying with hairspray will keep them in place
* Another great Halloween use for hairspray is to temporarily color hair. Spray hair, either all over or in sections, and sprinkle with unsweetened (not sugar-free) drink mix, like Kook-Aid, the color you desire.
