Product Information

But never fear, because not only is avoiding this scenario refreshingly straightforward, but removing hair routine residue from your brush’s bristles can also be oddly satisfying. Intense cleaning: The cleaner must not only remove the dead strands but the lint, fluff, and residue that has settled at the base of the brush too. Ergonomic design: Choose a hair brush cleaner with an ergonomic design, so you don’t end up with cramps or discomfort while cleaning your hairbrush. First, with a hair brush cleaner, remove all the tangled hair and dust out the residue or dirt, if any.

Hairbrush cleaners aren’t just for hairbrushes and combs used on humans. These handy tools are just as good at cleaning pet brushes and other pet grooming tools. No, try to keep it as dry as possible to have a mess-free cleaning session. Also, a hair brush cleaner with dense bristles might get difficult to clean if they are damp. Bristles: Hair brush cleaners are available with different types of bristles or rakes that range from long, short, stiff to flexible. A hair brush cleaner with long rakes ensures thorough cleaning, whereas a cleaner with flexible bristles can clean all hard-to-reach areas easily. So, according to your cleaning needs, choose the appropriate one. Did you know that you can use a hairbrush cleaner wet or dry? That makes this handy tool just as effective to use in the shower as when you’re brushing your hair at your vanity.Next, gently clean the cushion and bristles of the hair brush using a few drops of gentle shampoo or baking soda. It's an unavoidable fact that using a hairbrush to groom your hair causes a buildup of debris around the bristles if you don't clean it properly. Just swiping a brush through your hair results in hairs falling out and becoming trapped among the bristles, along with hairstyling products, dandruff, lint, and other particles. Shampooing your brush can help, but even this cleaning function may not remove all debris. That's where a hairbrush cleaner comes in. Hairbrush/comb cleaner combos: In addition to tines or bristles for cleaning hairbrushes, some cleaners also have short, soft bristles for cleaning hair and debris from the teeth of combs. When it comes to combo tools, the hairbrush cleaning components are typically on one end with the comb cleaner situated just above the handle. If you use both a hairbrush and comb on a regular basis, this is the tool for you. How it works Gently pat the hairbrush with a clean towel to remove excess water and let it air dry completely before using it again,” says Kate.

Tines: Tines on hairbrush cleaners are usually longer than bristles and are made of metal or firm plastic. They typically have bent tips for gripping and removing hair. These types of hairbrush cleaners are very effective at removing difficult tangles, but they may be too harsh to use on hairbrushes with soft bristles or a wooden base. This often overlooked tool is designed to effectively remove hair and particles that get trapped around hairbrush bristles — areas that are otherwise difficult to reach. Hairbrush cleaners are available in different designs with tines, teeth, tips, and/or short bristles to fit into the tight spaces around hairbrush bristles. They work on different types of bristles, too, from flexible boar to stiff nylon. First, make sure to remove the hair from the brush head. To do this, use a comb or fingers to gently brush away any debris. “Start at the bottom of the bristles and work up,” says Kate.O’Connor agrees that it depends on how much product you use, but at least every two weeks should be the goal. For those who use lots of hair products, you might need to wash your tools more frequently as the grime builds up faster. How should you clean flat irons and blow dryers? That being said, you may need to tweak our technique depending on whether your brush has natural bristles or synthetic bristles. Kate says, “Natural bristles are usually made from boar hair or bamboo and tend to need more frequent cleaning with gentler detergents. Synthetic brushes are made from plastics, so are easier to care for, which means we can use stronger detergents.”

Soak the brushes in rubbing alcohol or lice-killing shampoo and then rinse it off properly under running water for disinfecting hair brushes and sanitizing brush tools. Cleaning not only promotes a healthy scalp and strands, but it also helps your hair brush perform better, especially if you've invested in a pricier brush. If you're not regularly cleaning, you may be making the job even harder. “Brushes can range in price on the market depending on the brand, quality of the brush, whether it's a ceramic or natural bristle brush,” Olson says. “You want to clean your brushes regularly to help prevent your hair brush from not working as intended or effectively.”Also, bear in mind if the base of the brush is made from wood because soaking it in water could damage the material. Although the purpose of all hairbrush cleaners is to remove hair and particles, there are several ways that they achieve this goal. While some tools have just one brush-cleaning end, others have two or even three. All are capable of keeping your hairbrush clean. Oh, and one last thing, “never submerge a hot tool under water,” O’Connor warns. (You probably knew this already — but we had to say it.) How should you clean hairbrushes and combs? Wondering if there’s anything else you should look out for? If your brush still looks dirty or feels waxy after it’s been given a good clean, then it could need replacing as this build-up will transfer on to your hair and scalp.

So what’s lurking in between the bristles of our brushes? (We know you want to know). There’s the hair we’ve shed (which can be anywhere between 50 to 100 strands a day) plus, any product build-up that’s accumulated along the way (hello, dry shampoo). One cleaning end: This type of hairbrush cleaner has a straightforward structure that features just one end made for removing hair and other particles. A single-ended tool either has firm nylon bristles or metal tines and is great for daily use.Comb cleaner: Hairbrush cleaners with comb-cleaning bristles are like two tools in one. The short, flexible nylon bristles sweep away hair, debris, and styling product when the comb is swiped over them. Handle Polko has a special technique for refreshing flat irons. “I like to use a wet paper towel, clamp [the iron] and pull it out,” Polko explains. “You can use a makeup or baby wipe, too.” But if you choose to use a wipe or another solution that can leave behind a residue, she recommends wiping it once again to remove anything leftover. “When it’s completely cooled down and you’re running your finger over [the tool], it should feel smooth,” she continues. A. For consumers who use more than one type of hairbrush, a multipurpose hairbrush cleaner is the best option. Look for one that has two or three cleaning ends for different cleaning needs.
