How to Clean Your Hair Brush: A Step by Step Guide

Your hairbrush holds a quiet kind of intimacy. It moves through your scalp each day, gathers loose hair, collects natural oils and absorbs everything that settles on your hair from the outside world. Over time, this builds up in the bristles and transfers back into your freshly washed hair.

How to Clean Your Hair Brush: A Step by Step Guide

Your hairbrush holds a quiet kind of intimacy. It moves through your scalp each day, gathers loose hair, collects natural oils and absorbs everything that settles on your hair from the outside world. Over time, this builds up in the bristles and transfers back into your freshly washed hair.

A clean brush feels different. It glides more smoothly, supports a healthier scalp and helps your hair stay fresh for longer. Making this part of your weekly ritual is simple and it brings a sense of lightness to your routine.

Below is a gentle guide to cleansing your hair brushes using a Hair Brush Cleaner to keep everything feeling clear and cared for.

Why Cleaning Your Brush Matters

Your brush gathers so much more than loose hair. Dust, product residue, oil, dead skin and environmental particles all live in the bristles over time. When this builds up, it affects your scalp and the way your hair behaves.

A regular clean resets your brush, protects your scalp and helps your hair stay cleaner between washes.

How Often to Clean Your Brushes

- Once a week if you use styling products

- Every two weeks for regular use

- A quick daily clean to remove loose hair

The Hair Brush Cleaner makes this part simple and satisfying.


How to Clean Your Hair Brushes

1. Remove Hair with the Hair Brush Cleaner

Start by taking your Hair Brush Cleaner and gently raking it through the bristles. This lifts out loose hair and loosens product build up.

This small step takes only a moment and keeps both your brush and your hair feeling fresh. Doing this daily creates a beautiful sense of order in your routine.

2. Prepare a Warm Cleansing Bath

Fill a bowl or your sink with warm water and add a small amount of shampoo. A gentle, sulphate free formula works best.

If your brush has a wooden handle, keep the soak shallow so the wood does not absorb water.

3. Clean the Bristles

Dip only the bristles into the warm soapy water. Massage them gently with your fingers.
You can use the Hair Brush Cleaner again here to help loosen any remaining residue.

Slow movements turn this into a calming ritual rather than a chore.

4. Rinse Well

Rinse the bristles under warm water until the water runs clear. This removes every trace of shampoo so nothing dries in between the bristles.

5. Let Your Brush Dry Completely

Place your brush bristle side down on a towel and let it air dry naturally.
Avoid drying it upright or using heat. Letting it dry slowly protects both the bristles and the handle.

A Clean Brush Supports a Clean Scalp

This simple practice brings a sense of clarity to your routine. Removing old energy, product and dust makes room for your hair to feel lighter and your scalp to stay balanced.

A clean brush is a small act of care that makes every other part of your hair ritual feel more intentional.
