How to Wash Hair Pins?

Published in Hair accessories 2 mins read

Washing hair pins is easy! Simply soak them in warm, soapy water, scrub gently, and rinse thoroughly.

Here's a more detailed guide:

Steps for Cleaning Hair Pins

  1. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Fill a bathroom sink or small bowl with warm water. Add a small amount of mild shampoo. The water should be soapy, but not excessively foamy.

  2. Soak the Hair Pins: Place the hair pins into the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes (around 5-10 minutes). This will help loosen any grease, hair product residue, or build-up.

  3. Scrub Gently: One by one, take each hair pin and gently scrub it with your fingers. Pay attention to any areas with visible dirt or residue. You can also use a soft toothbrush for more effective cleaning, especially if there are intricate details.

  4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse each hair pin thoroughly under clean, running water to remove all traces of soap.

  5. Dry Completely: Place the clean hair pins on a clean towel to air dry completely. You can also use a clean, dry cloth to pat them dry. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them to prevent rust.

Additional Tips

  • Frequency: How often you wash your hair pins depends on how frequently you use them and how much product you use in your hair. A good rule of thumb is to wash them every few weeks.
  • Prevention: To minimize the need for frequent cleaning, avoid spraying hairspray directly onto your hair pins.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your hair pins clean and in good condition for longer!
