Uses for your hair straightener that have nothing to do with hair

The hair straightener has revolutionised at-home hairdressing.

They are perfect for getting your hair looking polished and stylish, give it body and even add a few curls.

There are also many other uses that have nothing to do with your hair.

After all, a hair straightener is also called a hair iron.

Give ribbons and bows a new lease on life

Simply clasp one end of the crinkled ribbon with the straightener and pull it through, straightening as it goes. Test the fabric first to make sure the temperature is suitable as it might melt some synthetic ribbons.

Freshen up your already ironed items

Notice a collar is not quite sitting right before you walk out the door? Touch it up with a straightener. Fix up a hem that has a few kinks or touch up any creases before you go.

Iron baby clothing

Some of the details on baby clothes are pretty fiddly and a normal sized iron might have a tough time dealing with them. A hair straightener can be small enough to get into the little crevices with ease, even while still on the hanger.

Crafty ideas

If you are into quilting a hair straightener can easily iron out wrinkles in the fabric. Scrapbookers will find they can flatten kinks in card stock or help with creating accents for your pages.
