Hair conditioner is not just for your hair. There are lots of practical ways to use leftover hair conditioner around your home.
Here are some alternative uses for hair conditioner.
1) Protect Leather Shoes
Dab a rag in some conditioner and work it into your leather shoes. Apply in small amounts at a time and make sure your boots are fully dry when you smart. This will protect your shoes from snow and salt.
2) Remove Stickers, Bandages, and Temporary Tattoos
To reduce pain or prevent sticker residue, you can use a dab of conditioner to remove a sticker, adhesive bandage, or temporary tattoo.
3) Cuticle Cream
Rub some conditioner on your cuticles before you push them back or trim them to keep them soft.
4) Detangler
Mix some water and conditioner in a spray bottle and use it as a detangler or leave-in conditioner.
5) Reshape and Soften Bristles
If your makeup brushes have become stiff you can work a small amount of conditioner through them after they are washed to reshape and soften them up.
6) Fabric Softening Dryer Sheets
Instead of buying dryer sheets you can make reusable ones. Pour equal parts conditioner and water in a spray bottle and shake it up. Wet a washcloth with this solution and let it dry. Once it is dry you can put it in your dryer and use it as a dryer sheet.
7) Unclog a Drain
Squirt some conditioner into your drain and chase it with some hot or boiling water. This can lubricate the clog and help it to slide down.
8) Shaving Cream
If you’re all out of shaving cream, you can use conditioner in place of it.
9) Makeup Remover
Take a washcloth with a dab of conditioner and use it to wipe your makeup off if you need some makeup remover in a pinch.
10) Polish Stainless Steel
Shine your stainless steel and remove fingerprints and smudges by wiping your surfaces down with a clean rag that has a dab of conditioner of it.
11) Detergent For Delicate Items
Fill a sink with warm water and squirt a bit of hair conditioner into it. Submerge your delicate item in the solution to hand wash items like wool, pantyhose, and underwear.
12) Unshrink a Sweater
Fill a sink with warm water and pour a tablespoon of hair conditioner on it. Submerge your shrunken sweater in this solution and let it soak for several hours. Squeeze out the water, then lay it flat, and stretch it out back to its original size. This only works if your sweater hasn’t been exposed to heat.
13) Tame Flyaways
Rub a little bit of conditioner on your palms and use it to smooth over flyaways.
14) Prevent Tools From Rusting
Cover your tools with a thin layer of conditioner to prevent them from getting rusty.
15) Moisturize Bath Water
Pour a quarter-sized amount of conditioner into your bathwater to help smooth and soften your skin.
