Budget-Friendly Beauty Hacks Every Glam Enthusiast Should Master

It’s true that some of us haven’t touched a curling iron since our trusty friends helped us prep for prom – that feels like eons ago! But for many, curling irons are still a part of their daily routine, and knowing how to keep them clean is a must. Over time, all that heat protectant and leave-in conditioner can build up and leave a mess.

It might be surprising, but the best way to clean the gunk is to use steel wool over the affected areas. No need for soap or fancy cleansers – simply grab some steel wool and gently rub it on the iron when it’s cool. In a matter of moments, your trusty tool will be gleaming and ready for action, just like it’s brand new! And in case you didn’t know, this works wonders on straighteners, too!
