How to Clean your Hair Brushes at Home! {EASY Deep Cleaning Trick}

Make your hair brush look like new again with this simple tip for How to Clean your Hair Brushes at home!

How to Clean Your Hair Brush

Could your Hair Brush use a little TLC?  Or have you just been wondering how to clean your hair brushes at home?  Well, today is the day the gunk goes away… and you’ll never believe how easy it is to clean your brush!

So be honest… have you cleaned your brush lately?  Like, really cleaned it?  You know how much I LOVE fun Beauty Hacks, and having a clean brush is always so nice when it comes time to style your hair in the morning or brush it out at night.  And let’s face it… they just work better when they’re not filled with hair.

But guess what… here’s another important reason to keep those brushes clean: every time you use your brush, styling products from your hair are building on your brush.  Then when you go to use it again after you’ve washed your hair, you can transfer that icky old hair product buildup back to your clean hair.  Eww, right?

Let’s face it… it’s time to properly clean those brushes, and make them look new again!

All you’ll need is a little shampoo to get started!  Seriously… this trick works like a charm!

So here’s what you’ll do…

How to Clean Your Brush

Best Way to Clean Your Hairbrushes:

  1. Remove all hair from your brush… pull, cut, tweeze, just get it out. 😉
  2. Plug your bathroom sink with the stopper, squirt a little shampoo into the bottom of the sink, then fill it up half way with HOT water.
  3. Let your brush soak in the soapy water for 30 minutes.
  4. Then use your fingers to thoroughly clean off the gunk that has built up around each bristle.  You can even use a clean new toothbrush to help get around all of the bristles.
  5. After you’re done cleaning, drain the water, rinse the brush off with warm water, and let it dry completely.
  6. Another fun tip is to spray a little perfume on your clean hair brush, and every time you brush your hair you’ll add a sweet little subtle scent!

So how easy is that?!?  Now your brush will be all nice and clean! 😉

    I just throw mine in the washer with the towels or a blanket. Don’t put in the dryer, of course.

    Next time you have an empty botte of shampoo, put your brush and comb in the stoppered sink and rinse out the bottle and cap shampoo residue with hot water before you recycle them. The shampoo will clean the comb and brush very well. Have done this many times.
