It’s believed the tin foil defends against static in your hair because the metal is a ‘conductor’ – meaning it gathers and transfers away the electric chargers from your hair, according to Well + Good.
This clever hack also restores shine and doesn’t leave the hair looking brittle or damaged.
To make your perfume last longer during the day or before a night out, Mila recommends first applying a fragrance-free lotion onto your skin.
According to Mecca, moisturised skin gives the fragrance ‘something to cling to’, meaning it won’t dry up as quickly.
