Does 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton shrink in the wash?
The shrinkage of a fabric blend like 55% linen and 45% cotton can depend on various factors such as the specific weave, finish, and pre-treatment of the fabric. Linen typically has a higher tendency to shrink compared to cotton due to its natural fibers. To minimize shrinkage, it is recommended to wash the fabric in cold water, avoid high heat drying, and consider pre-washing the fabric before sewing to pre-shrink it.
If an item is 60 percent cotton and 40 percent modal will it shrink?
Cotton is known to shrink when exposed to heat, moisture, and agitation due to its natural fibers contracting. Modal, a semi-synthetic fiber made from beech trees, is generally more resistant to shrinking compared to cotton. However, the extent of shrinkage will depend on the specific blend of the two fibers, the fabric construction, and the care instructions followed during washing and drying. It is recommended to follow the garment's care label and use cold water and low heat to minimize shrinkage.
What does 30 plus mean in sun screen?
Roughly you are 30 times more protected with that sunscreen than without it. Some think of it as being able to be in the sun 30 times longer without burning than without. They can be in the sun 5 minutes before burning so with 30+ SPF, they can be in the sun 150 minutes ( 2.5 hours) before burning. Not true. Sunscreen breaks down as you wear it, the same way make-up fades from your face. The longer you go between applications of sunscreen, the more likely you are to burn. Reapply per the manufacture's directions, and more often if you sweat and after drying off. Just like foundation, when you sweat or touch your face, it comes off. 30+SPF is the Spectral(Sun) Protection Factor, not Spectral Burn Proof Factor ;)
My hair is 10 inches long. how long will it take to grow another 6 inches?
Hi if you hair is 10 inches and you are looking for another 6 inches it would take you exactly one year to grow six inches of hair. The average length a person hair grows is an 1/2 inch per month. If you can prevent you hair from breaking you will see the best results. One way to keep hair from breaking is deep condition you hair at least once a week and use products with grow oils in them like rosemary, jojoba oil, coconut etc. Keep in mind that every one sheds hairs but they are usually replaced with new hairs. Keep you hair in protecting styles at least 90% of the time and avoid heat products on your hair. This will help keep you hair from drying out and becoming damaged.
