Although winter will officially only be here in a few days, the cold has definitely taken hold. To cope with this, fashionistas have brought out boots, coats, scarves but also big, warm sweaters, for a stylish outfit while remaining cozy. Problem is, if fluffy sweaters are the ones that give us the most comfort and warmth, they have the unfortunate tendency to lose their hair. They leave a slew of them on everything they touch, from the inside of our long black coat to our favorite pants to the couch. Needless to say, it’s not ideal!
But obviously, we are not going to give up and accept the sad fate of our sweater which stays longer and longer in the closet to avoid having to remove all the lint at the end of the day. And that’s usually when TikTok comes in. The users of the application do not lack ingenuity in solving our fashion problems of all kinds. There we find tips for not wearing your tights when putting them on, removing a blood stain from clothing or even shortening pants that are too long easily and without sewing. This time, it’s on the account of the tiktoker @bubblebead that we find a new, simple technique to prevent our favorite sweater from losing its hair.
Sweater that fluffs and loses its hair: the simple tip to remedy this
To illustrate her trick, she starts by bringing out a gray cardigan, very fluffy, very comfortable but which “puts hair absolutely everywhere“. She goes on to explain: “I’m going to show you what I do to prevent this from happening and putting it all over the house, all over the car, on his coats, his scarves and then it’s really a hassle to get them back“. She then takes a close-up of the vest in question over which she passes her hand, illustrating to what extent it loses hair with each pass. So we then come to the trick and this one is really quite simple: just place it in the freezer for a while.
Why put a sweater in the freezer?
To do this, the influencer specifies that you must start by placing it in a plastic bag, or trash bag (clean of course). “You close the bag tightly and you will put it in the freezer for 48 hours, or more“. She then shares the result: “it’s quite astonishing since all the hairs are frozen and they were fixed by the cold“before concluding that it is a”unstoppable trick“. This works just as well with sweaters as it does with fuzzy scarves.
