Preventing a Zipper from Unzipping Over time, frequent use of a zipper can lead to it becoming loose, resulting in unwanted unzipping. This common issue can be frustrating, especially if it happens on clothing or bags that you rely on daily. Fortunately, there are simple solutions to help keep your zipper securely closed.

One effective method is to apply a small amount of hairspray to the zipper. The adhesive properties of the hairspray can help reinforce the zipper’s grip, preventing it from slipping open. Alternatively, using colorless nail polish can also provide a similar effect. By applying a thin layer of nail polish to the zipper teeth, you create a barrier that helps keep the zipper in place.
