How to properly clean your hairbrush

To get the best results when brushing your hair, it's very important to clean your brushes and/or combs regularly.

Your brush and/or comb is a beauty tool you use every day. This beauty tool distributes your hair's natural oils and any finishing product you use (hairspray, mousse...).

Over time, this "residue" builds up on your brushes and/or combs along with strands of natural hair, and ends up making your hair dirty if you don't remove it regularly. Hence the importance of cleaning this tool.

Steps to clean your brush

Step 1: Remove hair and dirt

It's essential to remove any strands or dirt that have built up on your brush and/or comb.

You can do this with your fingers or, more easily, with tools that help you with this tedious task, such as the Olivia Garden Brush Cleaner.

This tool is perfect for removing hair and deeper dirt from your brush and/or comb. It's also:

• Made from recycled nylon from fishing nets.
• Eco-friendly.
• Anti-static.
• Gentle on brushes, without scratching them.
• Extends the life of your brushes.

Step 2: Wash with soap and water

The most effective way to get your brush and/or comb spotless is to wash it with a little soap and lukewarm water, using your hand or a glove. You can also wash it with equal parts vinegar and water.

If you see particles still stuck to it, try gently scrubbing with a small brush (such as a toothbrush).

To keep wooden brushes from getting damaged, we recommend cleaning them upside down so that the water only touches the bristles and the rubber cushion.

The brushes available on our website, such as the Fingerbrush Combo or iBlend, can be submerged in water without any problem.

Step 3: Rinse

Once you've thoroughly cleaned your brush and/or comb, rinse the bristles with water and let the brush air-dry.

It's important, especially with brushes, to get rid of all the water, as it sometimes collects inside.

With these simple steps, it'll be like having a brand-new brush every day!
