Step-by-step Guide to Washing Hair Brushes
1.Remove Hair
Use your fingers, a comb, or a brush cleaner tool to pull out any hair caught in the bristles.
2.Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Fill a bowl or sink with warm water.
Add a few drops of gentle shampoo, clarifying shampoo, or even mild dish soap.
Optional: Add a splash of white vinegar for extra disinfecting power.
3.Soak (if brush type allows)
For plastic or rubber brushes: Soak the entire brush for 5–10 minutes.
• For wooden or natural bristle brushes: Avoid soaking. Instead, dip only the bristles into the solution and gently swirl.
4.Scrub Gently
Use an old toothbrush to scrub between the bristles, removing residue and buildup.
5.Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the brush under cool running water to remove all soap.
6.Dry Properly
Shake off excess water.
Lay the brush bristle-side down on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid drying bristle-side up to prevent water from settling in the base.
