Why do some zippers curl up after washing and drying?

How can I prevent it or stop it after it has happened?

Why do some zippers curl up after washing and drying?
I think the reason why this happens is b/c of the fabric, when you dry a zip up hoodie, the cotton shrinks but the zipper does not so all it can do is curl up, I always just try to wash them in a gentle cycle and then let them hang dry, it always helps for me!!! Good luck
Reply:I believe it%26#039;s the material around the zipper that is not preshrunken. I think the only way to prevent it is to wash that item in cold water and hang dry...or make sure it is prewashed.
Reply:The thread used in stitching is cheap and shrinks when washed.
