#StyleHack: 1 Easy Step to Prevent Runs in Your Tights
Sure, tights aren’t that expensive, but we hate spending any money on something that will surely be ruined by a snag after one use. Our solution? Simply spray your tights with a light coat of hairspray. This bonds the fibers together, making your tights less likely to get runs or snags. Now that you know how to give your hosiery super anti-snagging power, why not shop for some new ones?
