If you’re like most people, you probably don’t give much thought to how often you clean your hair brush. But did you know that it’s important to clean your wooden hair brush regularly? Not only will this help keep your brush in good condition, but it will also help prevent the build-up of bacteria and oils on your scalp. In this blog post, we will discuss the best way to clean your wooden hairbrush.
Why It’s Important to Clean Your Hairbrush Regularly?
If you’re still not convinced that you need to clean your hairbrush on the regular, consider this: every time you use a dirty brush, you’re just recirculating all that gunk right back into your hair. Ew. Not only is that unsightly, but it can also lead to scalp buildup and irritation, which can then lead to dandruff.
According to dermatologists, your hairbrush is home to all sorts of things that you probably don’t want on your head, like mold, yeast, dead skin cells, and even dust mites.
If you’re not regularly cleaning your hairbrush, those things can end up in your hair, which can lead to scalp irritation and even dandruff. Not to mention, a dirty hairbrush can transfer bacteria to your hair, which can cause an infection. So how often should you clean your hairbrush? Ideally, you should give it a good scrub with soap and water at least once a week.
But if you use a lot of styling products or have a lot of hair, you may need to clean it more often. A quick rinse with vinegar or rubbing alcohol can also help to keep your hairbrush clean and bacteria-free. S
How Often Should You Clean Your Hairbrush?
Well, that depends on how often you use it. If you brush your hair daily, you should aim to clean your hairbrush once a week. If you only brush your hair a few times a week, then once a month should suffice. And if you don’t brush your hair at all… well, then I’m not sure why you’re reading this article. In any case, keeping your hairbrush clean is an easy way to help reduce waste and keep your locks looking luscious.
What Are the Best Ways to Clean a Hair brush?
If it’s time for a deep clean, follow these simple steps and your brush will be good as new in no time!
Step 1: remove all the bristles from the brush head. This will make cleaning the brush much easier. If your brush has a detachable head, simply pop it off. If not, you’ll need to use a small screwdriver or other sharp object to pry the bristles out. Be careful not to damage the wood!
Step 2: once the bristles are removed, soak the brush head in warm soapy water for 5-10 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt and debris that’s stuck in the wood.
Step 3: use a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush to scrub the brush head under running water. Be sure to rinse away all the soap suds before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: soak the brush head in a mixture of white vinegar and water for 5 minutes. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and will help kill any bacteria that may be lurking on your brush.
Step 5: rinse the brush head thoroughly with warm water and let it air dry completely before reassembling your brush.
Conclusion
Cleaning your wooden hairbrush is important for both the health of your hair and scalp. Ideally, you should clean it once a week, but if you use styling products or have a lot of hair, you may need to clean it more often. A quick rinse with vinegar or rubbing alcohol can also help to keep your hairbrush clean and bacteria-free.
