You use it to dry your hair, but did you know that there are a lot of other things you can do with a hair dryer? This useful bathroom essential can do a lot more: From drying your nails to making your eyelashes curly. If you’re ready, here are some amazing hair dryer hacks you never thought of.
Quick Dry Wet, Freshly Manicured Nails
Applying cool air from your blow dryer over your freshly painted nails can quickly dry the polish. However, make sure that you are only using cool air. Hot air can ruin all your hard work as it makes the polish tacky.
Custom Fit Your Eyeglasses
Mold your new pair of eyeglasses to fit your head by simply heating up the ends and shaping them to fit your ears.
Remove Stickers
You can remove stickers and price tags on your windows, furniture, appliances, and even the bumper of your car by using the hot setting on your blow dryer. You can also use this technique to remove contact paper from the surface of tables and shelves.
Eyelash Hack
If you want the perfect eyelash curl simply heat up your eyelash curler just a little bit and curl! Try it on warm for about 10 seconds or high for about 5 seconds : )
Dry Paint
If you are a crafter and do a lot of painting but you are impatient while things are drying (like me) and you want to get on to the next color or space… take out your handy blow dryer and your project will move much faster! I have been doing it forever! Great when the kids are doing painting too… less mess!
Dust Off Your Keyboard
Cleaning your keyboard is troublesome. You need to remove all keys one by one then return them afterward. You can dust off your keyboard by blasting it with your hair dryer on a cold setting. A LOT cheaper than the can air I use to use.
Unfreeze Items
You can unfreeze items that stick to your freezer with a hair dryer. Use the hot setting and blast the items in your freezer for a few minutes.
Stretch Out Shoes
Are your shoes too tight? Wear a pair of thick socks then put on your shoes. Then blow hot air onto the areas where you feel the most discomfort. After applying heat, keep your shoes on until they are completely cooled down.
Get Wrinkles Out
Remove wrinkles from your clothes, curtains, and table runners using a hair dryer. Mist them with water then blast them with hot air.
Keep Leftovers Fresh Longer
Make your leftovers fresher, longer. Put the leftovers in a container then wrap shrink-wrap plastic wrap or any ordinary plastic around it. Apply warm air to the sides of the plastic and your container is now sealed.
Loosen Tight Screws
Having problems removing tight screws while doing home improvements? Simply heat the screw with hot air from your hair dryer for a few seconds. The screw will easily come out afterward.
Hair dryers are not only good for drying your hair. With these simple hacks, you can transform this simple beauty essential into a versatile home tool.
