Vaseline is as much of a stable substance in our households as dishwashing liquid and detergent. Since the iconic jelly was discovered in 1872, people have been using it for a number of different things. However, thanks to the internet, many of these secret Vaseline tricks have become public knowledge. Below, we’ll list 50+ unique uses of Vaseline that you’ve probably never heard of.

Hair Gel
If you’re having a poor hair day and want to restore your shine, Vaseline is the ideal product to use. You can reclaim your rhythm and mold your hair to appear respectable with just a dab of it. Sure, it’ll feel sleek and slippery, but that’s a small cost to pay for a stunningly beautiful hairdo.

On the other hand, Vaseline can mend your hair’s top layer if it doesn’t hold moisture well or if you perpetually have frizzy hair. The same goes for your shoes: if they’ve lost their luster, smear some Vaseline on top of them to bring them back to life.
