Cleaning your hair brush in the sink is a straightforward process that helps remove hair, product buildup, and debris. Here's how:
Steps to Cleaning Your Hair Brush in the Sink
-
Remove Excess Hair: Before anything else, manually remove as much hair as possible from the brush. You can use your fingers, a comb, or a specialized hair brush cleaning tool.
-
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
- Fill your bathroom sink (or a large bowl) with warm water.
- Add a generous squeeze (about two teaspoons) of shampoo to the water. Any gentle shampoo will work well.
- Swish the water to create suds.
-
Soak and Swish:
- Submerge the hair brush in the soapy water.
- Swish the brush around in the solution, making sure the bristles get thoroughly cleaned.
- Let the brush soak for a few minutes (5-10) to loosen any stubborn buildup.
-
Scrub Gently:
- Using your fingers or a soft toothbrush, gently scrub the base of the bristles to remove any remaining dirt and product.
-
Rinse Thoroughly:
- Rinse the hair brush under clean, running water until all traces of shampoo and debris are gone.
-
Dry Completely:
- Shake off any excess water.
- Place the hair brush bristle-side down on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid using a hairdryer, as excessive heat can damage the bristles. Ensure the brush is completely dry before using it again to prevent mildew growth.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean your hair brush in the sink, keeping it hygienic and prolonging its lifespan.
