You can fix your clothes yourself so that you don't have to spend time and money on repairing or replacing the zipper. OBOZREVATEL will help you with this.
You can fix a zipper by simply lubricating it, but it all depends on the material it is made of.
Plastic
You will need a special tool for plastic parts. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the teeth and spread it gently with a soft cloth or brush.
