17 Simple Tricks That’ll Make Any Woman’s Life Easier
Women’s lives are full of issues that, despite being small, can still really ruin our days. For example, a skirt that sticks to our legs or eternal question about, “To cut our hair short or not?” But it turns out that it is actually quite easy to figure these things out.
We at Bright Side sincerely hope that these 17 tricks will ease your life and improve your mood.
If you are tired of dry and brittle hair
Drying wet hair with a towel and making a turban is harmful to your hair. It makes hair brittle and dry. Ideally, you should dry your hair without using towels and blow-dryers. But since this is an unlikely thing to do, it’s best to buy a microfiber towel or use an old T-shirt for these purposes.
If you can’t fit into your jeans
Oftentimes, jeans shrink after washing and we have to get into various odd postures to fit into them. However, all you need to do is to spray the jeans with warm water so that the fabric gets soaked, and then stretch them to one side then to the other side. It’s important to keep the waist unzipped and unbuttoned when you stretch out the item. After 10-15 reps the fabric will stretch out.
If your makeup pallet gets dirty
As a rule, cosmetic pallets get dirty pretty fast. And it’s hard to clean them without getting your cosmetics wet. What you can do is: stretch a wet wipe over the flat surface of the makeup for a moment — this can be a box with eyeshadows, for example, and rub this improvised “sponge” over the pallet.
If your skirt keeps sticking to your legs
Let’s say you forgot to spray your skirt with an antistatic agent, or you went out wearing a new dress, but it turns out that there is a lot of static electricity in the air. In this case, you can use an express method. Just wet your hands and slide them over your legs — this will save you from having your skirt stick to you, at least for a couple of hours.
If there’s not much cream left in a tube and you feel stingy disposing of it
Squeezing the leftovers from a tube of cream is a hard thing to do. If you cut the tube in half, the cream will get dry pretty quickly. But there is another method you can use — you need to cut off the top of the tube and “solder” the edge. To do this, close the edges with parchment paper and heat with a hair straightener. You will get a small tube with less air in it, and it will be easier to squeeze out the remains of the cream.
If a dress is sticking out at the back
Sometimes we want a dress to fit our back tightly but it’s a bit too large or it simply sticks out. You can adjust the dress to your body shape with the help of a coin. All you need to do is to stretch the fabric from the front part of the dress onto a coin and secure it with a rubber band.
You will get a kind of decorative button, and the dress will fit nicely in the back. Still, it’s better to test this hack on clothes with dense fabrics that you know won’t get deformed.
If you are tired of your hair having a greenish hue
It’s pretty hard for blonde girls to keep their hair color bright and clear. Perhaps all those who have fair hair already know how to get rid of the yellowish tinge. But what can you do when your hair has a greenish hue? As a rule, hair turns this shade after contact with copper, which is found in most pools. Therefore, when visiting the pool, you should use an indelible conditioner that will protect your hair.
If you don’t have the right makeup brush
Sometimes we want to put makeup on in a special way but we don’t have the necessary tools. The good thing is that you can easily make a small brush for drawing fine lines from a blending brush. To do this, you just need to tighten the bristles with an elastic band.
If a hat turns your head into a dandelion
When removing a hat, you can find that your hair is electrified and sticking out in all directions. To keep your hairstyle smooth and neat, you need to lightly spray the hat from the inside with an antistatic agent.
If you need to remove heavy makeup without turning into a panda
Removing heavy makeup is a long and tiring procedure — the mascara and eyeliner turn into patches and you have to rub the tender skin around your eyes over and over again. In order to simplify the task, you need to take a cotton pad, moisten it abundantly with micellar water, apply it to your eyes and hold it for a few minutes. After that, you’ll be able to remove your makeup with a couple of swipes.
If you need to wear tight leggings without them being too revealing
When wearing tight clothing, like leggings for fitness, there’s a risk that you’ll expose the anatomical details in the groin area. In order to avoid this, you can put a daily panty liner or the lining for a bra into the gusset on your panties.
If your bra strap keeps sticking out
Underwear sticking out of clothes is considered bad etiquette. This goes for bra straps that stick out of your dress or T-shirt as well. Double-sided tape will help you save the day — all you need to do is secure the bra strap and the strap of the clothing using the tape.
If the distance between buttons is too wide
This is another trick that requires double-sided tape. You can secure the gap in your shirt with tape. All you need to do is to use a narrow strip of adhesive tape and the issue is solved.
If it’s windy outside and you don’t want to recreate the famous Marilyn Monroe subway grate moment.
Wind can appear at any moment and have its way with a light skirt. To avoid an awkward situation, you can attach something heavy to the hem of your skirt from the inside, like a regular coin, for example.
If you are tired of irritation after shaving
Irritation after shaving is a common issue faced by both men and women. You can reduce inflammation if you stop shaving with soap and shower gel. Instead, use shaving foam to create a protective layer between the skin and the blade. By the way, you can replace shaving foam with any hair conditioner.
If you accidentally get mascara on the skin around your eyes
Turns out, it is quite easy to remove mascara from the skin: all you need to do is to apply lip gloss over it and wipe it away. No dark lines.
If the question “To cut or not to cut?” tortures you
This question tortures many women and we search for answers using various applications where you can try on a new look. However, a popular TikTok blogger claims that finding the answer to this question can be much simpler.
All you need to do is to take 2 pencils, place one of them vertically- down the ear, and the other one will be perpendicular to it under the chin. After that, measure the distance from the spot where the pencils cross to the earlobe. If it is more than 2.4 in, you should keep your hair long, if it’s less than 2.4 in, you can cut it off.
