The easiest way to smooth shirt collars and freshen up tzitzis? Skip the ironing board and grab your hair iron.
When I got married, my mother (optimistically) bought me an iron alongside all the other gadgets I needed. I was not sure what she expected me to do with it! The bulky iron was banished to the back of the closet for years. Now it comes out now and again…but only for Perler beads!
So what’s a busy mom to do when the collar of her children’s button downs need a quick refresh? Or when their tzitzis go from lightly rumpled to a curly mess? Definitely not take out the big old iron, the bus is coming in 5 minutes!
Use your hair iron.
That’s the whole hack. Your trusty hair iron heats up in seconds and effortlessly smooths out the shirt collars, plackets, and curly tzitzis. No ironing board, no problem!
