Hair ribbons are beautiful additions to hair. They can match the colour of your clothes, the colour of your mood, or just be in your favourite colour. But the moment they start fraying, they look tatty, and with repeated use, this is a common problem. Here is how to fix it.
Steps
-
Purchase some clear nail polish.
-
Place the fraying ribbon on a flat surface. Cover the surface with something like a piece of printer of printer paper to avoid getting nail polish on the surface itself. Avoid using newspaper as the print can easily rub off onto the ribbon and spoil it.
-
Use a pair of sharp scissors and carefully cut a diagonal line each end to remove the frayed ends.
-
Carefully paint the ends of the ribbon with the clear nail polish. A simple narrow strip across the ends will suffice.
- Don't paint too much or you'll get stiff ends.
-
Leave to dry. Once it's dry, the ribbons are ready to use again and they won't frayanymore.
Tips
- Take care not to get nail polish on any table or other surface. Hang ribbons over paper to dry, in case they drip.
