How to Get Your Hair Brush Sparkling Clean: 4-Step Guide

Want to achieve gorgeous, sleek, and voluminous hair? A quality hair brush is indispensable! Especially those with natural bristles or high-performance brush heads, they effectively detangle, clean, and add volume. But remember, to ensure they continue to perform at their best, regular cleaning is key!

Fortunately, a spotless hair brush not only extends the lifespan of its bristles but also ensures each strand of your hair stays clean and healthy. So, make regular brush sanitation a part of your beauty routine! With a simple 4-step cleaning solution, you'll find it easier than ever to prioritize quality hair care, knowing exactly how to keep your hair brush in top shape.

Hair Brush Cleaning Guide

For your hair brush to continue delivering its benefits, you'll need to keep it clean. There are multiple quick and easy ways to clean a bristle hair brush. Before we dig in, remember that proper brush cleaning begins with grabbing a few bathroom supplies to assist in your cleanup:

• Small tub or sink
• Shampoo
• Wide-tooth comb
• Scissors
• Microfiber Towel
• Old toothbrush

Once you've gathered your materials, you can begin removing built-up hair, product residue, and dirt from your bristle brush.

Step 1: Pre-Clean

The first step is removing any excess hair, debris, or buildup in the brush. Hair buildup can get tangled in the bristles and likely won't come out with a gentle soak. So do your best to work them out on your own with any of the following:

• Your fingers
• A rat-tail comb
• Scissors
• A wide-tooth comb

If you find there's some stubborn residue remaining on your brush, you can always use an old toothbrush to help remove it: simply wet the brush and scrub between each brush bristle until the residue falls away.

Step 2: Soak

Next, you'll want to fill a tub or sink with warm water and add a few drops of your shampoo to combat hair oil buildup. Once the bath's complete, you can submerge the bristle brush in the soapy water.

Give it an occasional swirl and let it soak for about 10 minutes.

If your brush has a wooden handle, you shouldn't completely submerge it (the soapy water can ruin the integrity of the wood). Instead, fill the tub with enough water to douse the bristles without letting the wooden handle touch the water.

Step 3: Rinse

After ten minutes, give the brush a cold-water rinse. A stream of water can help flush out any dirt and debris that came loose during the warm water soak.

Step 4: Dry

Give the hair brush a good shake before patting it with a dry towel. That said, don't rub the towel too vigorously against the brush, as tiny fibers may become trapped in the bristles.

Instead, simply wipe off any excess water and allow the remainder of the brush to air-dry.

Why Should I Clean My Brush?

Now that you know how to clean bristle hair brushes, you might be surprised to learn that proper brush care goes beyond basic hygiene. Taking the appropriate measures to clean your bristle brushes provides numerous benefits to your hair and beauty supplies:

• It makes your brush last longer – Dry shampoo, oils, and other hair products can easily build up inside your brush. If left for too long, the residue may harden and become difficult to remove, leaving your trusty brush unusable. Fortunately, regular cleaning can return your brush to its original shine.
• It protects hair & scalp health – If you're brushing your hair with a dirty brush, you're reintroducing the same dirt and oil that the brush worked hard to get out back into your hair. Keep your hair and scalp clean with a clean brush and a reliable shampoo.
• It helps maintain optimal performance – While some bristle brushes excel at distributing oil evenly for a smooth finish, the performance of any brush, especially a specialized tool like our Halovida Electroplated Hollow Round Bristle Brush, can be compromised by dirt and product buildup. Keeping it clean ensures its anti-static properties, quick-drying capability, and ability to create voluminous styling are always at their peak. A clean brush guarantees every use provides the best styling and massaging experience.

Clean your brush and improve your hair's quality of life. Your healthy hair (and brush) will thank you.

How Often Should I Clean My Hair Brush?

As a general rule, you should deep clean your hair brush once a week.

That said, do your best to rid your brush of loose hairs every day to prevent tangled bristles down the line.
