Quick Tip: Ironing Sans Iron & Board


I’ll admit, I’ve blamed a wrinkled outfit on riding public transportation several times before. “There’s just no way to avoid wrinkles when you’re crammed into a seat with three bags in your lap!” Actually, it’s kinda true.

But sometimes excuses don’t cut it. That's when I turn to my hair straightener.

You're already removing wrinkles from your hair -- so why not remove them from your clothes while you’re at it.

I find it works best on cotton blends. Lightly clamp the straightener over the wrinkle and move it along the fabric at a consistent pace. Be careful not to pause for too long in one place. Then simply repeat until the wrinkle is gone.

CAUTION:
  • It removes wrinkles from linen, but it also removes the color.
  • If you put any products in your hair before you straighten – don’t try this. Your hair product will likely rub off on your clothes.
  • I’ve never tried it on wool – if you have, let me know how it went!
