How to Wash a Hairbrush

You should wash your hairbrush once a week, especially if you use products such as hairspray or gel. These products build up on your brush over time, shortening its life and transferring the old gunk onto your hair each time you brush. Even if you do not use a product on your hair, old skin cells and hair still can get trapped on the brush. It's simple to wash your hairbrush. It can even be done while you're showering or getting dressed.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Shampoo Toothbrush

1. Remove as much as possible hair from the hairbrush. It is okay if you can not remove it all.

2. Fill your sink with hot water. Add a squirt or two of your shampoo as the water is running, so it gets nice and sudsy.

3. Swish the brush around in the water for up to three minutes to help dislodge the stuck-on gunk and any remaining hairs. Then, let it soak for 30 minutes.

4. Using a soft toothbrush, scrub the Brush's pad and the bristles. This removes remaining gunk. Save the toothbrush, too, for future bruish cleanings.

5. Rinse the brush under running water. Lay it bristle side down over the sink, allowing the bristles and pad to completely dry.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also dislodge any hairs in the brush by running a wide-tooth comb through the bristles.
• Dispose of your brush once the bristles begin to show damage.
