How to clean a hairbrush?

Cleaning a hairbrush is very cumbersome for many women – naturally falling hair settles at its base and looks unsightly, and additionally – after some time – can make it difficult to comb hair. How to deal with this? It's simple – just use women's tights, cutting out a fragment from them that is similar in shape to the brush. Then, thread the tights cutout through the "prongs" of the brush and slide it down to their base. In this way, we create a "protector" for the brush – the hair will stop on this fragment of the tights. This is a DIY gadget that is extremely simple to make. If the "teeth" of the brush are not sharp enough to pierce the material, you can use a crochet hook, needle, or sharp bobby pin. Cleaning a hairbrush using this patent involves only removing the fragment of women's tights, and then securing the brush in the same way. Simple, isn't it?

Does packing clothes give you trouble? Check out my method!

What to do with old tights when a trip awaits us? It's simple – just use them as a cover for clothes in your suitcase! And how to pack a carry-on so that as many things as possible fit into a small suitcase? The best packing method (I've tried it myself!) is rolling clothes. Each dress, each pair of pants, tunic, or T-shirt should be tightly rolled into a tube. Washed and dried women's tights can be used to secure these rolls – they will not unroll, and additionally, they will fit snugly together, and as a result, there will be enough space in the suitcase for all the things we want to take on the trip. Packing clothes with the use of tights is really easy and effective – try it yourselves!
