Qs careful with that
* spritz!

e

Asie showered, brushed your teeth,
put on your makeup, and are completely dressed,
Now for the final touch ~ one fast big spritz of halr
spray before you walk out the doos. While this may
help to keep your hair in place during the big
stockholders meeting, it might also cause {rrepara-
ble damage to your clothing.

Many hair sprays, mousses, and gels contain a
high percentage of alcohol and can cause color
loss in certain fabrics - especially silks and °
acetates. As the akohol contacts the fabric, the
dyes are actually dissolved and pushed out into a
ting, where they dry. The resulting ring Is pertna-
nent,

You may not noice this problem right away, but
once general surface suil is removed in cleaning,
the color loss becomes quite apparent, .
Some hair sprays contain not only alcohol but also
lacquers. This can cause dark stains to show up
around the collar, neck area, and shoulders
Although these stains can be dilficult to remove, it
is not usually impossible and your professional

” drycleaner should be able to remove the stains.
‘Try to spritz before putting on your clothes or at
least place a towel over your clothing. These stin-
ple steps coukl save you a lot of aggravation and
