Cleaning Your Hairbrush: The Beauty Tip We Often Forget (And That Changes Everything)

Despite what you might think, spending hundreds of dollars on hair products isn't enough to keep your hair shiny and healthy!

Indeed, it is also essential to keep your hairbrush clean and maintained to maintain its effectiveness, if you do not want it to turn into a veritable nest of bacteria. This step of our beauty routine, often forgotten, allows the elimination of sebum, dead cells, dandruff, dead hair and pollution residue accumulated over time.

So to give your favorite hairbrush a new lease of life, nothing could be simpler than following our little guide, summarizing the right steps to take.

Before cleaning

Before cleaning, it is essential to carefully remove dead hair using a fine-toothed comb. There are several possible techniques :

1- White vinegar

The most effective technique is white vinegar , which will ensure a deep wash since it will dissolve the remains of bacteria that the comb will not have been able to reach.

For this technique, take a basin of warm water and add a few spoonfuls of white vinegar. Finally, soak your hairbrush in the mixture for a few minutes; it will come out clean as a new penny. Do you find vinegar has a strong odor? Consider Pikoc scented vinegars , which will leave a pleasant scent on your freshly cleaned hairbrush 😉.

On the other hand, if your brush is made of wood , we advise you to avoid water baths , which could damage it. Therefore, it is ideal for this type of brush to use a container with a spray, in order to apply vinegar diluted with water, in smaller quantities.

2- Other alternatives

It is also possible, for this technique, to replace white vinegar with baking soda , it all depends on your preferences and what you have on hand!

You can also simply take your usual shampoo (preferably mild), and emulsify it with water to create a lather that you gently rub onto the bristles of your brush.

Finally, if your hairbrush is made of boar bristles , the water and soap combo , considered softer, will be your best ally.

How often should I wash my hairbrush?

There is no particular rhythm to follow when washing your hairbrush, however, it is necessary to remove dead hair daily and it is recommended to wash it completely every week, or even every two weeks in case of unforeseen circumstances :)

So, cleaning your hairbrush is no longer a secret for you, you are now ready to dazzle those around you with hair that is shinier than ever!
