10 Super Easy Hairspray Hacks for More Than Just Your Hair!

Who Doesn't Love a Good Hack?

If I learn that my favorite products can be multi-purpose, then it's a must that I share it with you! Most of us waste so much unnecessary money on items that we're told were made specifically for certain things. But I'm here to tell you it's not true!

Hairspray has been around for decades. The name alone will lead you to believe it's only to be used for hair purposes. Let's go over some awesome hacks you can do with hairspray that will be sure to add some spice to your life! And save you some money, too! 

1. Extra hold

When using bobby pins for a style, spray them first then apply to your hair. Bobby pins have been around forever and are a great way to help secure a style in place. But sometimes they can start to slip out or lose their grip, especially if they're old. So, within seconds of applying hairspray, you will have a more firm hold on the look you're creating.

2. Quickly Remove Glued-in Extensions

Of course, being gentle with your hair is very important, but sometimes you have to rush! Maybe you ran late taking your extensions out before an early morning hair appointment. Spraying your scalp with a generous amount of hairspray will ensure a quick slip out! Just simply spray directly on your scalp, and give the track a light tug and voila! Your hair extensions will then be gone minutes without any damage!

3. Avoid Loose Shoestrings

Most of us know it can be quite a pain having to continue to tie the shoe of a toddler! Patiently waiting for the day when they can tie it themselves. Well, while you're waiting for that day to arrive, you can quickly tie their shoes, and spray hairspray directly on the strings to keep them in place! Simple fix, right?

5. Bring Old Shoes Back to Life!

Mostly all of us have shoes that we haven't worn in a while simply because they lost their shine. Hairspray does not only add shine to your hair extensions but to your shoes! Hairspray will surely add the shine right back to it after spraying it then taking a rag and polishing them up. They will look brand new within minutes! Spring is right around the corner so it'll be time to do some deep cleaning soon! Make sure to go through your closet to see what shoes you can salvage before thinking you have to toss them out.

Saving these timeless memories will no longer be a hassle! Spray and preserve for now on!
